There's no argument about consecutive posting, the "native" inability to do so being absurd.
Posting to locked threads, however, can have no purpose that isn't malicious.

Whether the powers that Stumble care or not is immaterial.

wrcs: Superseded?

No, Thylalyi's similar script is not an upgrade from my script but rather a downgrade in that its only change is that it imposes restrictions upon the user. This is _the_ original script and still remains the most functional. I gave Thlyali permission to write his own version of my script. The only change that his script makes (aside from formatting differences to be compatible with his own scripts) is that it imposes restrictions on the functionality by changing how the form is presented in order to disallow the user from posting freely, which is the ideology backing the script's concept at its core.

I wouldn't expect you to understand, however, as your ignorant comments have made it clear to me that you know nothing about web development nor web scripting. Let me explain this to you. Stumbleupon's staff doesn't care if you double-post. No, they don't even care if you post to locked topics. Let me repeat that: they don't care. It is immediately evident to any web developer who so much as glances at the script that the developers behind stumbleupon do not care about double-posting or locked-topic posting. Why not? Because they make no effort to prevent it. It is undoubtedly simple to block the Double-Post script's functionality. If you knew anything about web development (which it is clear you do not, so I can understand your ignorance), you'd be able to glance at the Double-Post script and realize this.

You think this a bonus?
You claim "unintentional" yet add the alleged side effect to the script description.
This script is superseded by #13165 which has no malicious intent.

I asked politely, the author spurned the overture.
On whose head?

The ability to post to locked topics is an unintentional bonus which is just a side effect of the script.

If you want to post to locked topics, then that's your choice. If you don't want to, then don't. I will not be wasting my time hacking in any restrictions just in case a few irresponsible users intend to assault forums by abusing the script.

This script's "extra" functionality is undesirable.
It will undeniably cause havoc and chaos in StumbleUpon forums.
Please consider removing the "extra".

Update on my last comment: it is now confirmed that this will NOT allow you to post to forums of which you are not a member.

It still does have functionality to post to locked topics, though.

Rumored extra functionality:

Several users have stated that my script will allow you to post to forums without being a member of that forum. I tested this and it didn't seem to work, so I'm not sure.

This script is incompatible with Preview SU Posts. Using both may result in lost posts. Sorry for the inconvenience.
