Um... I noticed a lot of threads are getting closed and the mod just posts a link, implying that the topic's already been made sometime in the past.
But if they already made the effort to find the older topic, wouldn't it make more sense to just MERGE the two topics instead of closing everything? IDK... just something I noticed... |

It states in the Moderator Guidelines that topics should be merged instead of closed in terms of duplicates. Of course, an exception would be if the topic in question is more than a year old, and the newest reply is also from that time.
