Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out morePersonally I avoid posting if an answer has already been given unless I can add to it meaningfully, but to be honest I don't think it's an issue if a thread ends up with multiple similar answers. From the OP's perspective, similar answers may simply validate each other. Ultimately it's an informal space and community members can post as they wish, within the community rules, of course.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreI find this thread somewhat ironic, what your complaining about your guilty of a fair few times, there are many threads here where you have replied hours or even days later giving the advice already posted but just worded slightly different, for example https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Broadband/Extending-wifi/m-p/3709973#M256112
If it annoys you when people post duplicate advice why are you doing it?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@TechmanagerMal The thread I linked to has you offering the same advice just worded differently, something that you you others shouldn't do.
I have learnt precisely zero from your posts and find nothing amusing at all from them apart from the irony, if you go back through your posts(something I haven't done) I can guarantee there will be loads of posts from you made hours or days after others with exactly the same advice offered just worded slightly different, the only reason I haven' said anything before in other threads is because I didn't want to derail them.

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out more@TechmanagerMal You'll find many duplicated answers are posted within seconds of each other (less than a minute) and as such yes answers will be duplicated. This is down to how long it takes a poster to put there answer in. Don't see an issue there and if the answers are the same at least the OP will see this.

- surely if more than one answer is virtually the same it will give the OP reassurance that the answers are probably right, or at least helpful.
- what happens if I'm replying to your post, and my phone rings or doorbell goes. I could be preventing other forum members from giving their two penn'orth.
