Maybe soften it a bit, be a little less specific.

I prefer having a more generalized definition of crossposting involving posting messages in multiple channels. Asking a question in multiple channels is one form of crossposting, but I'd also like to use this for things like spamming, requests for feedback, notes, and duplicate links.

@vcarl Thoughts on this? We can still soften the language but I think it's important to not only recommend against crossposting questions. I updated merge conflicts so otherwise this should be ready to merge.
