Okay, so I'm looking at topics on the WEPR forum, and I see this:

There's 2 topics titled the EXACT same. Really people? Before you make a topic, I suggest you look to see if there's another one about the same thing.

I agree with you but sadly, most people are too lazy.

There probably should be a cut-off of how many pages to look for an existing topic. Oh, and you could ask an older user, or use the custom forum search (though flawed) to look for a thread.

I, mostly remember repeat threads through memory.

One thread is about how drugs are addictive and bad, while the other is about how they should be legalized. They are two completely different topics with the same name.

I don't blame the newbies who do that. Though others who aren't newbish should know to make sure that a thread has been repeated.

Are people even paying attention to what I said? It looks to me that my post is invisible.

It's NOT a repeated thread!

I accept that it isn't a repeat thread, but there are dozens of threads that are. The above is just a bad example.

Forget about them, their threads will just get deleted. Can we stop typing in bold now? It's hurting my letters.
