Now since I didn't want to make the title to long her is what I mean: Automatic Deletion of Double post when both post are exactly the same
Yeah...That would be the title but I think it is a bit too long
So for some reason when my wi-fi has connection troubles, the sites automatically refresh while loading the page...for me that means automatic double post. I was wondering if the above title could be made possible (Title is Automatic Deletion of Double post when both post are exactly the same)

Anyone think that this is a good idea that may actually work if it doesn't cause lag?

It's a good idea. Think it could work if not the lag.
Though the automatic double posting thing doesn't happen too much what I've seen. And you could always ask a mod. Hmm..

The irony of trying to fix a problem that you just committed... sigh

Assume that Lazarus hasn't been invented and all we have is this idea... How would this idea work? Don't get me wrong, this is much better than the repetitive and otherwise useless ideas we've had in a while, but how would this be done? Is there some kind of code we could fit in that would take out both double-posting and spam?

if (post2 == post1)
{
post2.RemoveSelfFromX; // whatever x is

else
{
post2.Submit;

This? Or something so complicated, I wouldn't understand even if you showed me?
