A small improvement against double posting in resources

[FlameofChange]

Hello there.
I am a bit triggered when someone breaks a rule, even a minor one.
I saw multiple times members double posting in a resource because they replies THEN comment a notation ; which effectively put two replies in a row (I also fell to it, maybe several times). Nothing tells the user that the comment is transformed into a reply !
We need some tweaks to avoid that & further moderation work.

My suggestion is in five parts :
☼ When replying to a non-noted resource, pop up a notation window / put the notation directly in the reply editor if not done yet
☼ Block notation comment if the user just replied to the topic, and warn them about their recent reply
☼ When someone effectively double-post, its reply is fused with the previous one ; it fires notification normally
☼ The comment used as notation has a visual difference with the other ones ; the user can select which of their reply is a notation
☼ Get the notation list from a button on the resource page

I'll be honest; I'm not even sure the rule against double-posting should still be a thing. I think it's largely a relic of the past, and I don't know that we should continue to penalize it.

That being said, so long as it is still a Rule, as a Moderator I'll encourage following it. ; ) But I don't quite understand what you are going on about; what is a "notation", and how does it result in a double-post? Do you have any examples you could link to?
