there has obviously been a large issue with duplicate threads being made following the surge in activity that was brought to this forum after the 8th and 9th of this month.
from this point on any duplicate threads made about the most common, already tread upon topics are going to be locked and asked to move to an existing thread. while there is no functionality for us to merge them peacefully and this has caused leniency, it is becoming more difficult to moderate with the large volume of different threads to keep an eye on.
please use the report function for what you suspect to be duplicate threads, and/or discuss them here so that we may take quicker action.

reach out on discord @cytosol for moderation-related help!
