It's an incredibly annoying 'anti spam' feature they added to prevent multiple posting.
I have lost count now of the number of times I have had something else I'd like to say in a thread, which would look wrong placed in my previous post, so I've not bothered saying it. It does more harm than good.
Even worse is that offensive 'auto merged accidental double post' crap it adds to the bottom of your post....makes you look like some sort of idiot.
As you may be able to tell, I am not the biggest fan of this feature!
It was designed to keep the bumping of posts down, trust me, it was annoying to us, when some people would bump a post 8 times in one day.

Nothing against the new features of this site or anything, but when people do bump threads, they get responses.
They can wait 24 hours to bump their posts, theres no reason to do it more than that, we are not some huge site like giai
