How sure are we that those creating such multiple threads won't continue to create new threads even though there is a dedicated thread for such discussions?
I recommend that topics about gambling addiction be locked after 60 responses or less so there will be less spam and the reply will not be redundant when it hit 60, we request OP to lock the thread but we should agree, and those who like to open topics about gambling addiction or we request that it be locked after 60 responds.
So the topic will not run for weeks.
That's why lazy people don't use the search box even though there are so many threads discussing this addiction often on gambling discussion boards and it's really boring discussing gambling addiction which actually has no end, so I don't really give any feedback on threads like this but reminding the OP it might help to close the thread if there really is a similar thread.
But most of them don't monitor every development of the thread and just leave it that makes it easier for spam to make unnecessary posts in the threads that are created and why don't they see the progress of the threads that are created because it's to avoid similar titles so that not much in this forum discusses what already discussed.
