Shanti Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hey, The forum has several double topics, triple, sometimes more. Do you wish to have them merged as one when it's the case ? Before taking this action, wanted your opinions on the matter, since it has some consequences. Consequences : 1/ You may not be the Original Poster anymore, topics are merged into the oldest one (time and date) 2/ When merged, comments are integrated in oldest topic chronologically by time/date, which will lead to discussions being cut off, and eventually look a bit messy. Will let this up for a while, and proceed according to the outcome. xMaceyx, chaostika, RedJewel and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CathyDeeFox Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Well I will respect whatever the choice you make, however just reminding that it could be hard to find a limit on what is "the same topic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Let the purging begin but remember with great power comes great responsibility Personally I trust Shanti's good judgement on a tender touch of the myriad redundant topics flooding this forum and we can still burn her later just in case .

Ashbash Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Yeah, sounds good Shanti. Will clean up the forums a lot more but we will need to really think about what we call/class as a duplicate topic. CathyDeeFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanti Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 I think it should be a case by case decision, depending on the contents and how the discussion is handled on each duplicate. Some topics will be hard to merge indeed. SteveM and CathyDeeFox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staci Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Great idea keep duplicate items consolidated for easier reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I'm sure it's a good idea. A good forum needs some moderation and that includes merging similar topics. I think it's worth a try. Now Shanti it*s your turn to get into the hot water. I think the decision will not be easy sometimes. And there will be the usual rumblings, but I think in the end it is to everyone's benefit.

Some topics will be hard to merge indeed.Agreed, will need to be talked on, which ones will be decided to be merged and which ones not. I am sure we can come up with something to help us identify which ones are indeed similar and what are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanti Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 According to the results of this poll, we'll look into merging similar topics slowly. Not everything can be merged, so it will be a case by case decision. Thank you for your votes. CathyDeeFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
