sure they will.. because how many ppl are thread trolls that would easily and very quickly report the double posts? once reported.. then the mod steps in, and if abused we all know anyone will recieve at a min. a warn.
Have you been near the DII trading ground in the last year?
There are threads with over 20 bumps in as many minutes that no-one bothers reporting because when it finally gets closed it'll just get reposted and the same thing continues. No-one EVER gets warned for early bumping. Hell i thought they were supposedly strict in the LS forum but i've got a thread with 3 reported early bumps from 2 days ago and it's still not closed.
There are dozens of spam threads on each realm every day and i never see any of them get warned. most of the time they don't even get get closed by a mod, but just max out at 60+ replies.
Early bumping and spam are much easier to police than early reposts (no post searching etc involved) but if the mods don't do anything about them what's the chance they'll do anything about the reposts? Maybe I'm being pessimistic but I can't see that happening.
On topic, i love the idea. I think it would really help, and i don't think it would be abused to any degree. But if it was, i don't think anything would be done.
ps. the 'request close' button sounds like an excellent idea to me.
