This "server lag" many people talk about, blame their triple, even quadruple posts on, is kinda a myth.
Here's how to combat it.
After you hit the post button, if it goes to the error screen, DO NOT HIT REFRESH, NOR RESEND, NOR ANYTHING!!! Simply reverse the page all the way back to the thread, and refresh from there. Your post will appear, and only once. Saves bandwidth and is quite honestly faster then going and refreshing over and over. Just hit back and refresh from there.
A friendly helpful hint from BustaNinja

I've done it multiple times, only I can delete my own posts. Don't worry about it. If a mod sees it, we'll take care of it.

Why don't users have the ability to delete their own posts like on other forums?
I don't care what anyone else says, Atom Blasters are fucking awesome.

I've never seen a forum that allowed you to delete your own posts. You can edit the psots and remove the information, but you can't delete it's existence in a thread entirely.
As Carbon once said,
"The moment you can no longer see the fun in running around like a little child is the moment you begin to die."

Violets are 0000FF
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Heh. The cool thing is I already knew not to refresh the page. Are members not allowed to delete their own posts because they would be able to bad mouth any member and then just delete it even though they saw it? I think it would be abused.

I've seen a forum that allowed you delete a post if there was no reply to it. Like if you accidently posted in a wrong forum you could delete your topic, or posted in a wrong thread. But as soon as someone replys it's locked.
It's moot though, I don't think that feature is part of this board's software, and I doubt anyone would be willing to edit it's code so it allows it.

They exist.
I always wondered why this forum did not have that valuable function.

We don't let you delete posts because of a secret conspriacy against our members and the technology of nerf.

I knew it! It figures that you guys are all conspirates! When I was an admin on The Accord Wagon Club, we had it set like Galaxy noted, though I still ended up going through daily and deleting misposts and moving things... And that board is populated by adults too. You guys don't have it easy moderating this forum.

Sure it's a lot of work to have to monitor all the crap that goes through this site, but this way no one can post something that bashes someone and get away with it.

It's called the edit function.
