“Your topic is similar to…”

No. Keeping a single topic about a bug is organized. Merging posts into an older thread bumps that thread date. When topics do get logged, they are pushed up directly from that topic into Azure Devs Ops and if there’s multiple topics it’s extra work on the entire team. Duplicate topics make it difficult to users to know which to post in.

:small_blue_diamond:Creating Duplicate Threads

Creating multiple threads on the same topic does not make it more likely that your post will be seen. It does make it more likely you will irritate and confuse your fellow forum users.

If a member is found to have participated in such actions, they will:

  • Receive a formal warning from the moderator staff
  • Post will be closed and deleted

Moderators spend the most time handling duplicates and miscatagorized topics/posts.
