Forums - Website Topics - why don't admin use thread merge option.?

sometime there are tens of threads on a same topic... and i think under those condition admin should merge threads... it will make the discussions in the same place on the same topic.. is there any reason admins don't merge threads.?

Just a suggestion..

Sure - we just lock the duplicates and everyone starts posting in the remaining open thread...

...merged. :P

 

Hahaha, nice. :P It works quite well too, 98% of users don't post in locked topics.

...because we don't have the option?

Honestly, I think locking them works fine.



it was just a suggestion... like there were so many threads created on LBP and each got atleast 20 - 25 post in it... so having all the discussion at one place could have been much more fruitful.. and sometime smaller thread has more good points but they get locked and lost..

anyway i don't have any issue... but i think admins can benefit from it a lot.

Because........the mods are the anti christ.




merged threads would be a mess. You would lose all sense of conversation flow, since you would be merging different topics together. Even if you just tacked one on to the next, it would still read really weird.

I'm all for just posting a link at the bottom and then just locking the thread.
