merging posts sucK!

[Regs]

I understand that.

My point is that there seems to be a better tool out there to combat the problem for the moderators here, one that would not affect so many others.

TBH, if someone is actually constantly bumping threads every 10 minutes, they need an enforced vb.org time-out.

I check this site quite regularly, and I can't recall very many coders/users complaining about the amount of bumping going on. I can't say the same about auto-merged posts. And that's all I'm trying to say here.

vB is a communication tool and this auto-merge implementation inhibits the normal flow information.
