Auto-merge is a pain in the arse to deal with in low activity threads or a long dead thread you want to revive but you were the last bloke to post in it.
Yea happens a lot to me
That said, it is there to prevent spam post abuse from forum troglodytes with too much time on their hands.
Speaking of myself, when they introduced the threadmark feature I abused it at first but stopped after like a week because it was no longer fun.
I propose for every long term user to get nomerge privileges and if the user abuses it the privilege may be taken away. There should be limitations for very new users just like with the min post count for PMs.
Anyway
@Pantheos @TheAncientCenturion what do you think?
its possible to get notifications even if posts gets merged
How? This would be VERY useful .
Can't count the tines I had to copy my merged post, delete it and repost for the notification to work. There's still users who don't know merged posts kill notifications and I experienced multiple times that I returned to a thread months later and scrolled it for fun only to find an old post someone quoted or tagged me in that I had never been notified for because of merge
