(72,790 posts)6. Again, have you alerted on this as a duplicate thread?
Or maybe you can "trash threads" the threads you are sick of seeing.
Seems like you only want to complain and criticize.

I'm surprised she didn't criticize my use of caps.

(72,790 posts)10. How dare you use caps??!!!111
I guess folks don't realize there are options like trash can, and alert, and keyword trash.

I've noticed that in that section of the site, there tends to be fewer duplicate threads. So you can follow the story better on one thread.

(37,163 posts)14. Duplicate threads in LBN are specifically against its rules...
...and if you try to start a thread there, there's a "Stop, check for duplicates" step. The hosts lock threads that violate the "no dupes" rule.
No such rule for GD, so dupes.

(113,612 posts)13. what I have frequently seen in such miltiple posts is that there is somewhat different information
in them, which, collectively, gives one greater insight.
