Maybe so...But all the thread starter has to do is scroll down a little bit to see a list of "similar threads", which more often than not could read "exact same threads".Your search function sucks dude
OMG! He's an owl! Who who who...
That's not a software problem; it's a user problem and is easily corrected by taking people off ignore.Nobody has yet to mention what about threads by people you ignore?
You do realize this is never going to happen right?Then chances are someone has already created a thread on it. Please use the Search function before starting a new topic and save us the trouble of having to spend time closing or merging ten additional discussions on the same topic. Thanks
If we get one of the regular offenders doing this to stop and look before starting a new thread, then it's a win.You do realize this is never going to happen right?
I admin'ed USPOL in the early to late 2000s... er were doing it then, you are doing it now, and someone else will be doing it later.
Never going to happen.
Most of those folks will post their own version of a thread whether they see another one or not.If we get one of the regular offenders doing this to stop and look before starting a new thread, then it's a win.

"Time outs" seem to work the best against those.
I don't know Xenforo like I do VBulletin, VB has a LOT more tools and customization than XF...so this may not be possible here. In VB you can remove their ability to create threads in single categories, or the whole forum but still be able to create post in existing threads.
Might I possibly suggest adding a comma to that, so you do not get mistaken for a tranny.I'm a female dude. XD
They do it in groups because they think in groups.I see people do it on here all the time, they work in little groups. And they're not even clever about it.
The Powers that Be are too cheap to pay the license for VB.VB has always been my favorite interface.
I do think that Xenforo has a lot of the same features, but some web site operators choose to disable them for whatever reason.
So far as the ignore feature, I tend only to use it whenever I notice someone purposefully forum sliding and things like that.

Another thing I see a lot of is if someone's narrative is defeated early on in a thread they've started, they'll start a new one or you'll see one of the more vocal posters in their group who was running interference for the op in the defeated thread start a new threrad in order to start all over again.
It's silly, really. It's not like we can't see what they're doing if were paying attention. lol.

I have been wondering about Life lately . So its about Obscure things . Very cheering .i rarely do a thread about big news, if you notice, i focus on more obscure tidbits that no one else notices. the mods should thank me someday!

The notion of being an individual terrifies them.

These are very simple-minded individuals whose understanding of the human condition is so limited that they see only two possibilities in this world -- join their team or be their enemy.It is effective, though. Almost every single time I see it happen, you get the same people who were posting in the original thread coming over to post in the copycat thread.
So the thread has effectively been erased of any previous conflicting dialogue by crating a copycat thread.
If people would just stick to posting in the original thread rather than the copycat thread, they couldn't function in that way.

Their very identity is tied up in their Manichaean view of the world.
I had over a 100 on iggy, but took them all off last night. However, before I did that, I COULD see threads by those I had on ignore. It showed the name of the thread, and instead of the name of the person who started it (OP), it said "Ignored". So..someone is a liar. No surprise.I find the ”similar threads” list below the new topic to be helpful. It isn’t perfect but it is obvious when someone ignores it. A new feature I notice and really like is one that alerts you if you are responding to an old thread that has had no replies in ages. I like it because when the similar threads come up I don’t always they are not a current event.
If it's not working correctly, check the nut behind the keyboardYour search function sucks dude
