Ok... before i go on this rant i will admit I am guilty somewhat of this as well. it has come to my attention that there is an increasing number of repeated threads on basically the exact same topic, only with minor changes. I have been guillty of this as I am often unaware of a previous thread and continue with the one I created. if you feel you have something viable or minor to the topic just add it onto the previous thread... if it is VASTLY different and a WHOLE NEW IDEA then make a new thread.
Then again there is a more serious case where people actually take the thread that started the main topic... Actually reference it/ link it in a minor conjunction to something slightly new and make it into a new thread, and "raise it as their own." Either ask the peron for permission if there is orignal content not in text form, as basically any data in the form of text on the site property of Redguides and basically we have the right to spread it around the site. If someone links a program/ mod/ script please dont incorprate it into a thread of your own and attempt to feed off that persons work. Feel free to add to the main thread or ask them beforehand if you can incorporate their belongings into a personal thread you are taking credit for.
