Recently there was a bug fix that stopped the double posting issue from happening. However, I just realized that the fix has a potentially inadvertent side-effect. Some forum posts are for requesting help, and I post regularly on a medicine one as one of the givers. I tend to reply to the requests for certain medicines with a 'sent you one' or something similar (since I have to hit a certain length of post as well). Now, it will not let me use that reply, I get told that I have said that on the topic before. However, it is just a placeholder for me to see where I last left off and so people can see that someone is there giving things out still. To have to come up with something new and unique each time is going to get difficult as time progresses.
I would like to suggest that the fix be changed, maybe limiting how many times you can post in a certain time span (say, a lag time of 15 seconds?) or just giving you an option to override the warning (are you sure you want to post this? You have already said this on this topic) so that in these instances unique posts do not have to be made.

I have the same problem. I have a pup adoption center, and I often respond to requests for pups with "Sure, sending!" (or similar) and it doesn't quite make sense to need to come up with a unique reply every time.
Perhaps it could be set up so you couldn't post identical posts in a row (which would prevent double posting) but not check every single post you've made in the topic.
