What you have done is referred to as multiposting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting "This is distinct from multiposting, which is the posting of separate identical messages, individually, to each channel, (a forum, a newsgroup, an email list, or topic area)." "Enforcement actions against crossposting individuals vary from simple admonishments up to total lifetime bans." Crossposting is frowned upon, multiposting is considered evil. "Multi-posting is a waste of bandwidth, money, and people's time, with no advantages whatever, and should never be indulged in."
