It seems a reminder is needed.

Can I ask groups not to repeat post every few days.

Recently there have been a few posters who are repeating time and time again for basically the same request (same project, same positions, etc.) with only a few days between the posts. The latest trick is to delete a recently made post and repost (this has only recently become possible since we now allow users to delete their own posts).

I can only assume this is done to bring their request back to the "head" of the queue to try and get it noticed. Trouble is the more people who do this just makes the situation worse and as such is unfair and abuses the purpose of the thread. While we encourage posters to delete (or better yet, edit) old posts when the requests have been fulfilled, deleting posts just a few days old and reposting is considered as abusive.

There should be no reason why there shouldn't be several weeks between requests. If the situation has changed since your last post, then please go back and edit your previous post instead of posting again.

Can people be a bit more responsible and considerate. If this continues then unreasonable repeat posts will be deleted (instead of being merged with previous posts as has been done up till now) along with warnings and infractions being handed out.
