I'm reading the same questions again and again and again.
We need moderators who can close those threads and point to the already existing ones.

Clearly the topics are generating discussion, which is good. If it is truly a useless duplicate, then someone will post a link to the "official answer" and the topic will die on its own. This is exactly what a moderator would do, except that a moderator might lock the thread and prevent even the possibility of a useful discussion.

This makes a lot of sense. What about when we have an influx of noobies and 3 threads about the horrors of lost coins appear at the same time? Are there some occasions for lock/combine?

I might merge or delete topics if I see very similar topics posted around the same time, especially if many people complain about it. I prefer for someone to just post a link and let the topic die naturally, though.

I think I'm going to make an list of threads about the most common topics so I can quickly link new threads to the relevant thread. If I get much done I'll share it. Another way to do it might be to pull out good answers from the thread, put them in the wiki and link there to avoid linking newcomers to long ass threads.

Good idea.
