Questions/Question 517

Question about banking comments - I know each thread can only be submitted once, but have a case-specific question about things that go to overflow. Could I, say, link my toplevel from a log that has gone overflow as done and dusted but then later on link the overflow threads from it that get put on a different post as separate things as they exist on another post entirely? I'm trying to figure out what would be easiest for reading because I feel like separating them would be easiest but wasn't sure if that would be breaking the rule (I am sorry for the dumb question)

Not to worry! At this point in time, when faced with overflow threads, we have continued from the top-level comment onward into the overflow. Say we have Character A with a single top-level and two threads with Characters B and C. On the main post, Character A has had 4 comments with B, and 3 comments with C. This would total to 8 comments on the main page, top-level included.

We've been going ahead and checking the overflows thereafter. So if Character A has had 10 comments in their thread with B, and 3 more with C, we've considered this all one single attempt at banking. Thus, this top-level and all of its comments total would be considered 21 comments, and typically we count them all at once.

However, we're totally willing to work with outlier situations! If you want to just do the comments on the original log and count overflow threads at a later point (say, for example, the thread's not done), we recommend leaving a note like this:

Thread: [ here] 8 (EXCLUDING OVERFLOW, will link later)

That way, we can look back in time and see that we were approaching it from this angle. I hope this helps!
