As long as new forums have been brought up, many of them have a timer where someone can't make another post in the same thread for xx minutes. That would avoid those who like to make 4 posts in a row 1-3 minutes apart instead of doing the polite thing and editing their first post.

Most forums have rules against making double posts, I'm actually surprised it's allowed here. If the new forums could have that built-in timer, it would go a long way to alleviate the problem (and annoyance, I can't be the only one that minds it).
