You realize that if your last request hasn't been handled yet, you can just edit that last request and add to it? You can't do it if you have two posts already, but you can copy the contents of the second post and delete it, freeing up the previous post for editing again. Dump the second post into the first along with any new requests, and boom! No more flooding. You really should try it, since this happens to you so often.

@Flaime: He knows about that. He posts two requests in a row, and then the flood protection prevents him from posting in that thread or even editing his posts until someone else posts. That's what the first line means. My post was explaining how he can get around that limitation and continue using that thread instead of posting new topics.

I'm not sure you fully understood what I was saying. You just double-posted in the thread again. It's a lot easier to edit your post from the start than to copy, delete and then edit. Deleting the second post is a workaround in case it happens by accident; you shouldn't adopt it as your primary means of using the thread. All that does is create more work for you later.

Another way to work around this is to add a page to a list each time you find a page that needs an alias or a rename, then post that list every time it gets to around seven or eight items long. Much more efficient.
