(Moderators no longer have the ability to merge topics due to incidents like this.)
2. Admins are the only one with the ability (merging threads) These are the rules that I'm aware of:
Similar/identical threads
Same direction (ex. Lack of having questions that aren't on the other thread)
Has constructive replies
Is there anything else?
Take note: I've seen some users suggesting it (mostly, in regards to threads involving "merit"), so I'm hoping to get a clear picture for this matter (merge). I created this thread, to ask if the following threads can be merged into one (based on the above rules):
Only admins can merge threads, and it's only done for technical reasons such as an accidentally-split post. Merging similar threads together just makes a big mess; if too many topics about the same thing are posted, the extras should just be locked or deleted.
