I figured this one would get closed pretty fast so I didn't bother with the full explanation - but hey! It's still open! I might as well give it a go.I don't think you read my opening post. I mentioned that there are other repeated threads and threads regarding Moogle weapon criticism are the only ones I've seen where repeated ones got closed off quickly. I couldn't care less about people complaining on this forum since I can easily *gasp* not enter the thread, lol. I was just curious to know why they got closed off so fast.
Multi-thread topics happen all the time, that particular one got closed off because it fulfilled 3/3 of the Threadlock Holy Trifecta.
1) Topic was already underway in other threads
2) New topic offered no new discussion branch; was just angry QQ
3) Sh!tty attitude and lack of substance got it reported to moderation.
You can easily open the 50th thread about something, but if you don't offer anything new and are completely ignorant and rude about the subject so much so that someone clicks the /!\ at the bottom left, it gets locked.

Now there are three more weapon threads...And a thread about weapon threads! When we get a thread about the thread about the weapon thread, I'm pretty sure it'll be too late to save my sanity.

Perhaps when someone tries to create a topic, it can check to see if there already topics with similar topic titles and suggest them to the person trying to create the thread? Might be a b to code but there's other sites out there with similar features. It might not stop all the similar thread creation, but it might curtail it a bit (and save the reps and mods from having to waste their time dealing with them).
