I disagree with the rule that double posts are only allowed every 48 hours regardless of the content. Every once and awhile, I'll be working on a project that is changing drastically every day for 2-4 days, and during these times, I'll do a status update on the project every day. These posts usually contain a lot of information like what's changed, what goals were met, and what goals are planned for the next day. These are definitely not spam and not the same as bumps. They are posted rather than edited in to notify users that an update has occurred.
IcemanBo said that I could just edit a post, then post, then edit, then post, but this just seems like a ludicrous workaround for a ludicrous rule : |.
Yes, it's exceptionally rare for me to post daily status updates. I have probably only ever done it twice, both for only a few days each.
My request is to classify a status update post separately from a bump. A bump doesn't contain any information and is there just to keep the post in the light so that people will eventually see it. A status update serves another purpose entirely.
For status updates, I'd like the time period to be once a day (not necessarily 24 hours).
I plan on doing things how I've always done things. I'm not abusing anything and I'm not spamming. I need a legitimate reason as to why this is bad.
