Heyo!
TL;DR below
There title is pretty clear but still I will elaborate.
There has been an increment in threads suggesting the same thing lately (imo). This annoys both McMarkerter and staff members. The people who created it will receive hate that they didn't do enough research and that the suggestion was already out there. Even though the suggestion is similar staff and users of this forum will explain to them if it is bad/ok/good. This takes a lot of time which can easily be prevented and used for something else.
There are numerous amount of examples and I am not going to grab some, everyone knows this. (E.g. reputation threads) People (myself included) write paragraphs of text to still tell their opinion eventhough they said it in the other 3 threads. What a timewaster.
The similar threads before posting a suggestion obviously doesn't help that much. I think we should give out small amounts (1-2) of warning points to the user that did not do enough research and posted a thread which is too similar to others which are already denied/pending/accepted. Instead of explaining over and over why it is wrong instead the thread gets reported, the staff deleted the thread when they see the report and agree with it and issue the warning points to the original poster. They PM him and say that the report is to similar to existing one and link one which has already been posted.
I think this will clean up the suggestions section (less spam) and troll/hate suggestions about e.g. the reputation system will not appear anymore.
*This will be too much work for staffs!
- Well, a user of mcm can simply report it with a link to a thread that is similar. And if finding a thread to refer to as a similar but already posted thread takes longer than 20 seconds then I think the thread is not that similar or should just be allowed.
**This is also within common sense, if the thread which is similar is posted in the previous era than no, you do not have to report it. But that's why we have staff to decide if the thread is too similar.
That's all, have a nice day. o/
TL;DR: similar suggestion threads should be removed and 1-2 warning points should be given. Cleans forum (less spam), saves time, makes people actually check if it has been posted before.
