Okay I am now sure this might help AG but obviously has to be approved.

Okay now to lessen it why no it has to be checked by some moderators too see if it is worthwhile or not. And obviously to make sure to have double posts of thread like 2 vs. threads of PS3 and 360.

I know but it's better than finding the duplicates of a thread or lockind, deleting threads from the forums.

I wouldn't go that far.

Considering the size of the community and the rate of threads made per day,
I'd say this is possible, without making a big deal out of it. It isn't really that hard, when all
you have to do is review it and check it off, is it? I would go for this. How many threads a day
here are pointless? Just a few, but it would save us the agony of looking at another "Destroy
this wall" game, RPG, something we already have in the Politics forum, and random questions
in the Tavern. I would go for this a tad.

but in order to have a thread made there has to be a mod on at all times

I'll rephrase it.

Mods check every threads if it's spammy or has lots of spam and if it is a duplicate innaproriate and all that stuff. they'll have to lock it. So this suggestion would make it easier for the mods. there I hope you understand

They're supposed to do that anyways XD

And even if the conditions changed, they still would have to check it, just like any other thread.

That would take an awfully long time for a moderator to do, and I'd hate to be the one they choose to do it.

There are only 8 mods but 200,000 of us. Poor people. Checking through the whole day... Mods do check threads but it is impossible for them to read through all threads.

they don;t read through every thread, only popular threads and top threads, and only about 100-500 are actually active on the forums

that's what the flag is for. users are expected to report the bad threads.

Lige is right if the topic is duplicate or not aloud just report it to a mod so that way not every single topic made is going to them just the ones that are duplicate ect.

they would have to check whenever a mod is available in the meantime you will just have to submit a thread then wait if a mod approves it.
