When I posted the "Harp ASAT weapon for sale" thread in international icedents board I posted 9 times (i don't know how that happened) Then when I went to delete them it said that I could only delete my own posts! What is happening here I don't want to be banned.

When you click the"Submit" button, the request to start a new topic is sent out to the NationStates server. However, the server may be so busy that it starts he topic, but doesn't send you notification that topic creation was sucessful. Hence, you think that you didn't create the topic and try to create it again, thus creating a duplicate topic.
These sorts of accidents are common; just alert us to the problem here in "Moderation" if it happens. :wink:
In the future, Prepare your topic in a word processor, first, and save it to your hard drive. If you click the "Submit" button, but don't get a reply, then do not click "Submit" again. Instead, try to access the board you tried to submit your topic to to see if the topic was posted. If it was not posted, then you may try to submit the topic again.
I hope this helps. :)
