MODERATORS
Thanks for your feedback! As I understand it, it is allowed under the rules, but I'm happy to stop posting if the moderator wants me to. Maybe discuss your concerns with them. Also in future you can report double posts so they get removed ❤️
The way you talk to people comes off as incredibly condescending and disingenuous.
Instead of insisting that the responsibility is on other people to clean up after you, you should listen to what others have to say and at least think critically about what you post, and adjust any necessary parameters you have for your automated posting tool or whatever it is you're doing.
