It's not new, last time I checked mprep did such merging of post with similar contents.

Here is a thread from Joker_josue where mod did such too

Reflection on moderation in service topics

IIRC I was the one who merged the posts (currently going through a large backlog).

Edit: It's either the post merged could be posted all together just using Horizontal rule to differentiate them from his perspective of posting, so if he (mprep) did the merging then it's the same issue with joker_josue.

I am quite impressed by such initiatives taken by mprep for the merging. I think this same approach should be exercised on individuals who often make similar threads in the same board. For instance, seeking for an exact solution from two different thread or ignoring an existing thread to start a new one with the intention not to continue with the existing one. I think more new posters trying to create threads should be encouraged of using existing threads with similar topics rather than creating a new one.

A typical example could be an existing thread with topic 'how to rank up to full members in the forum' and another new topic with 'I'm finding it difficult to rank up to full member, please help'. Such new topic can be a reply in the existing thread instead of creating a new one with same or extremely similar purposes.
