Don't you hate when people duplicate threads?I personally get annoyed and makes my head explode.

What if when someone makes a thread similar to another using similar words and something like this would come out.

The "Etc." things would be links to those threads.

What do you think?

Well, the thread could be dug deep, and I know you have the links to the same thread, but searching more and more pages of threads every day might be, well...

Would you rather have one thread where everything is said rather than having to explain it every single day?


Some threads are different. Some topics get off topic and get dragged into the list when the original topic has nothing to do with it. That blocks too many unnecessary threads. It's not even your job to explain the threads.

Maybe it wont need to look for all of the pages just one.That way it would run faster and smoother.I agree with all the cons(which is mostly coding) so i won't complain.

??? Then what's the point of blocking it?? One page hold just no helpful threads.

Look through the game walkthrough section, or just search it up on google with armorgames somewhere in the search.

I'm sure it's on the games section.Please stay on topic.

Who said it is?Here we go again!Can you answer me nicely for once?

This will take too much code, but I do think that this would be a great idea.


Yes and i can't complain.

I'm saying that if someone tries to make a thread already created, a page like the one i showed on page one should appear. to prevent it form being duplicated.

This is what you complained. You never had to explain threads to anyone.

Oh, but how would you prevent the way how ALMOST EVERY TOPIC WOULD BE BLOCKED BY KEYWORDS.

Ok don't block then just don't prevent them form happening.
Wait are you saying that all these threads that are now duplicated going to be locked?When did i say that?

I never complained about anything.

Maybe it can just be:

This topic has already been created:

(links)

Do you still wish to make your thread?

Yes?
No?

I mean, if it was similar, it would probably ban all club threads.

Blocking is not equal to locking.
