I will discuss about this forum ..
1. Many people who post with the same title and topic, (arguably similar) like "btc like digital gold, can btc crash, there will be another beat btc and other"
2. Too many questions they have to answer themselves (by newbie) like "how to get services, what is a merit system, I am new in this forum someone can help me, and others" (not this they can find themselves if they often read on this forum)
and there are many other things I mentioned above but here I will not discuss it, have you ever thought of upgrading this forum system to avoid such things "like upgrading a forum machine" (unlike merit system)
this is just what I imagine, when someone will post a topic with the same title or topic, the forum will work automatically and issue a statement "this post is similar to ..." (while show up another existing post with a similar topic) and below it appears the options "keep posting" and "cancel post".
To be honest I realize that I am new to this forum, but have you ever wondered how hard it is for new people to create a post that has never been discussed by others (I am experiencing this problem),
would not it be easier to create a post that has not been discussed (because if it has been discussed, it will appear that statement and will not make you think twice before posting the same topic)
so posting with the same title or topic will not appear too much, that's what I imagine all along, what do you think???
This is a good idea, to reduce the occurrence of a similar topic in the forum but that would require the system to distinguish if a newly created thread has the same thought as the others. If the forum can make it in such a way that if a similar thread is to be posted and they could show it to the poster so that he/she can be directed to that thread instead, that would be great.
