Every day some alternatively gifted user creates a duplicate topics, people often comment on more than one of those and in the end the information is scattered in around and is a mess. For an example:
The question: Can the moderators merge such topics, if those are reported? I know it can be done in real forums, but can this pseudo-forum system do it?
P.S. Users should receive some light punishment for creating duplicate topics, posts or anything.
Hello
Thanks for bringing this topic up. We can definitely merge the topics within this forum, and this already is a practice. Once the duplicated topics are reported though "Report Inappropriate Content", moderator takes the action. The examples you shared are already taken care of.
Regarding the consequences - absolutely, they exist when the action becomes repetitive and intentional.
I highly encourage to report any members you notice abusing this feature and we will take it from there.
Please see the actualized guidelines on: Flagging posts for moderation - STMicroelectronics Community
Thanks a lot,
Lina
