The mods need to stop merging threads.

[MagPrime]

Thread merges are needed to keep the Forums functional at times.  As has been pointed out previously, upset players will make their own topic that is nearly identical to the other 5, 10, 15, etc. already present and does not provide a unique, stand alone point that warrants being it's own post.  

However, the thread merge function does need tweaking so that there is some way to keep track of which comments were from a different post.  If that were done, then merging would be less of a problem.
