In the last 24 hours there have been numerous cases (more than I bothered to count) of multiple threads being started about the same topic. This does happen occasionally but two (and on one case three) threads being started on the same day is too much. It doesn't take long to check.
Before starting a new thread:
1) Check the forum you are about to post in. Is there already a thread about it? It may be on the second page.
2) Check some other relevant forums to see if there is already a topic. If it's related to preservation, check both the state forum and the Preservation and Tourist Railways forum. Also check the Operators and Locomotives and Rolling Stock forums. In the case of tram news, check both the state forum and the Tram and Lightrail News forum.
3) Search is your friend! There may have been some discussion about your topic in recent days, or the question you want to ask may have already been asked before. If you can add to a recently active thread with new information, follow up that one rather than starting a new one.
4) Finally if you have started a topic, don't start another topic on the same subject in another forum. It will just result in one (or both) being removed.
Cheers
David

You wouldn't believe how tempting it is to start another one of these. 
Speak harshly to your little boy
And beat him when he sneezes
He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases.

Naah, I'm a coward.
I'll just goad MGH™ into doing it, like I usually do with my evil plans.

BUMP.
People read the first post in this thread.
IT IS the SAME ones every bloody time who do this so i have grabed this up for people who NEED it to READ it.
There have been 4 threads today on the one incedent that had to be locked and i am sure the mods have better things to do with there time than clean up after lazy posters.
USE SEARCH it is at the TOP of EVERY page.
There is no rush to post look around then think then if no one else has posted what you think needs posting then post.
IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE.

Only problem there TLD™ is that your title is too long for topic box. Need a few more abbreviations in it. (TXT SPK LK).

It would be rather nice if:
*Members could check the spelling of the titles of threads before posting,
*And to ensure the title is short and sweet, and relevant to the thread.....by that I mean, for example, 'Myki tickets' rather than, 'Hey, have a look at this', or 'Guess what I saw today?'
