Most of you have probably seen my latest canned response:
Please don't make duplicate posts, they're very annoying and don't help you or us to help you. Creating duplicate threads does not increase your chance of a useful response, it only reduces it as people get confused and can't always see what others have suggest in the other thread.
Are duplicate threads against the rules?
If you ask me the should be and also be a banable offence. After member creates their first duplicate thread they should be warned, then if they do it again they should be banished for all eternity!
Moderator, is it possible to merge duplicate threads? I know you do an excellent job of removing them if they haven't had any replies. I suppose if merging threads is a pain you could close the shortest thread and post a link to it in the other thread. Anyway my gripe isn't with you but with the morons who are responsible for duplicate threads.
