I think there should be a global rule against posting duplicate topics.

This means that if you're about to create a thread about the same autistic topic that the other guy has posted, you'll be forced to think twice the next time you don't check the catalog.

I think a rule like this could promote better content.

Generals were a mistake.

I would love to hear you explain the train of thought that lead you to this conclusion

Rules don't force people to behave. The people who don't check the catalog now won't check it if a rule is made telling them to. It would be better to create a mechanism by which mods could merge threads, similar to the existing thread moving mechanism (it could probably share code).

As for generals, if someone makes a thread that merely states the discussion topic without adding to the discussion, it should be treated as a request thread. Delete the crap generals that are restarted for the sake of restarting them, while leaving threads where there is legitimate continued discussion alone.

What does not having duplicate topics have to do with generals

You don't need TWO furfag threads
You don't need THREE Christianity threads
You don't need THREE SAO threads

Are you autistic
OP is saying the mods would slap a 1-day ban on duplicate threads to deter people from not checking the catalog
>>
An even better solution would be to make the catalog the default view.

Only reason not to do that is because it depends on Javascript to work at all, but that's simple to fix.
