In a recent discussion, members expressed concerns over the proliferation of duplicate topics within the forum. A suggestion was made to enhance the topic creation process by including a suggestion feature that directs users to existing discussions. This aims to streamline forum navigation and encourage contributions to ongoing conversations rather than starting new ones on the same subject.
- The idea received positive feedback, with technical support confirming feasibility and promising a swift implementation.
- Additionally, the possibility of merging duplicate topics was discussed, though it was noted that doing so could disrupt the flow of conversation. An alternative proposed involves linking to older discussions while closing newer duplicates.
- Concerns were raised that the creation of duplicate topics might be motivated by a desire to gain experience points, suggesting a need for forum users to be more mindful of their contributions.
- A call for members to search for existing topics before creating new ones was reiterated, emphasizing the importance of maintaining an organized and easily navigable forum.
Members are encouraged to utilize the new topic suggestion feature and to actively participate in the effort to reduce duplicates. This collective approach aims to enhance the forum experience for all members.
