    While I sometimes get tired of repeated threads, I find it difficult to judge each one by the title alone. Read the OP and you might find the point of discussion is different from others. Most duplicated threads will die of neglect eventually as people settle in on one. When we try to self police we end up contributing to the frustration of scrolling past another post that is not relevant to everyone. It is a noble attempt to clean things up, but it actually makes them more cluttered.

    The answer to the problem is a good moderator who can simply combine or delete duplicates. There have been really good threads but often they are buried by junk that a moderator would clean up. My policy now is to just ignore duplicate threads and click on more promising ones.

    Who cares if we have two threads on the same topic? When did this become about efficiency?

    What ever happened to @SavageDawg17 ? I believe he was the Mod that used to merge/delete duplicate threads.

    @kelly_b Yeah, I started a post asking if anyone knew anything about Sevaughn Clark. I only got one response that was there was multiple posts about that already. I had also searched for posts about him and couldn't find any. When I asked to be shown where they were I was given a link to a post that had over 104 pages! I read the page I was linked to, but nothing there about Clark. He did tell me he was a POV which is the only thing other than he is a Running Back that I know about him. I too wish there was a way to search accurately for these posts. Typing his name in the search bar brought nothing.

    I gave you the link. It leads to page 104 (when I do it - link says "latest" which should be the last page - page 104 now). On page 104 is a comment I made that has these links.

    If you ask for help, you need to take initiative to use the help given. If you don't understand, then ask for more help.

    As to the search function, it could be much better. But the best bet for general info on a recruit is to use a web browser like Google. Searching within the board as you note, may not yield anything, and certainly misses much - from experience.

    Appreciate the help. I had actually searched Google before I created the Clark post and came up with same links you posted but I had missed in the other thread. I should have provided those links and then asked if anyone had any additional info on him. On this thread, I posted to back up what Kelly was saying that it is difficult to know if there are duplicate posts on a subject or not. In my case there was, but I wasn't going to look through every post to see if there was. That would take a very long time. Then you posted the link. I missed it. Thank you for providing the direct links.
