long subject title isn't it :p

i don't think this will get very far, but there are instances where duplicates have received a decent about of sp. what would be interesting is when denying a feature as a duplicate, being able to transfer any and all stars, to the original request.

i am well aware that people should search for the request before hand and be carefully when shooting stars. however it is still technically supporting the same thing >_<

opinions?

I think pi should have saved half his stars for this one.

Good for people who spend stars on duplicates. It just happens too often.

Actually this idea makes sense. Even if a thread was a duplicate, they still support it.

Exactly, they just happened to support the wrong one.

This feature request would work better if duplicates were connected to the original request. They could be linked together, automatically.
Coming soon, deadbeat's & theowest's duplicate thread.

It would be nice if merging threads would also add up both stars total which would make it even more useful if merging threads wasnt broken right now. But it worries me that people would use the search function less when making requests and just leave all the work to the moderators.

The problem with searching is that you can have very different choices of words. Or sometimes it may be a duplicate but the original is very poorly written.
Still I would support this although I will not give this stars.

b - why is it broken?

Support. Also I want this future for "added" and "invalid" requests.

I meant that people would become lazy and wont even search for duplicates and shoot all their stars to their threads because a moderator will always just go and merge the duplicate in.

.......maybe just leave this alone for now. and later on, if/when theo and i put this plan into motion, we'll see what happens. if its working, maybe this can be considered as something useful

btw. thought of something. since as sakura said, it might stop people from searching, how about making so that only half the s.p gets transferred. that way people don't completely waste their s.p but would still help towards promoting the request or w/e
