I don't know who other mods are except @vaibhav111 , so tagging him.


Everyone contributes their fair share, and changing the original poster should not become a norm.
This inadvertently undermines the time and effort someone has put into the community.

A better approach is to allow co-authoring of threads. If a thread is merged or a member wants to update it with relevant details, having multiple users as authors should be considered.


I'm not sure if this is possible, but it's important to address this issue as it seems to be growing.

Hi there, didn’t get the part “original poster” I think you may be don’t know what wiki thread are. If a thread is changed to wiki. Then a community member with “TF ACE” can update the content.

I was not mentioning for a specific type of post whether its a wiki or something else.
Also, content updation is not in question here, but the handling of author is.

As I understood, if threads are merged or taken over, the author still stays a single person whose profile pic comes up with the thread title.

It would be beneficial if all who contributed in authoring are recognized rather a single member.

There could be intricacies to it, but it seems that it has had negative effect over members.

His idea is worth to mention!

He is saying to introduce a mechanism where a single thread can have one or more "co- authors" as we see in Instagram.
Coz though the one who posted earlier
With less information also deserves their post/profile on top rather than being just a top cmnt.

Hope you understand this and would try to implement this in future.

See the thing is let say today icici amazon pay cc emailed each it user on no reward on rent trnx. then we had to merged thread cause 3 people made a exact thread and whoever did the first was merged. In this there is nothing can't be done cause OP of 2/3 thread missed to checked if thread already exist or not and straight went to create a new thread.

So the one who posted first ,
That thread must belong to that author only whether it has a bit less info(although msg was getting conveyed properly),the mods should/ can edit that first author's post with additional information rather than superceeding their own thread which was posted after wards with more info.

Even though this does not concern me but I would try to clarify the issue as there is a clear misunderstanding of what is the concern here.

The concern is not about merging the duplicates. Even this post is merged and was a duplicate.

Using the example you gave,
I am using names from 5 star ad. Resemblance of name to any member is purely coincidental
  • ICICI devaluation post was created by Author Ramesh
  • Duplicate posts D1 ,D2, D3 ... Dn was created by Author A1, A2 .. An
  • All posts were merged under original post ICICI devaluation with author still as Ramesh (the profile pic will show Ramesh)
This is perfect. No issues here, duplicates should not be there and you guys are doing a great job.




Then what is the problem?
Based on comments from other members, the following issue has arisen, which negatively impacts contributors:
  • Ramesh created Post P. The profile picture of Ramesh is shown on Post P.
  • Suresh created a similar Post P1, which has a better description and details. The profile picture of Suresh is shown on Post P1.
  • Lets assume both posts went on for weeks
  • Since the posts are similar, they were marked duplicate, and finally merged.
  • However, this time, Ramesh, the original author, is no longer credited as the author of the merged post.
  • Instead, Suresh, who posted after Ramesh, is now shown as the author. The profile picture of Suresh appears on the merged post, not Ramesh's.
  • As a result, Ramesh feels discredited and sees his effort as wasted, while Suresh receives the credit despite posting later.
I tried to make this as easy to understand as possible and hope that there is no confusion about what is the actual issue anymore.

Some decisions are straightforward (clear duplicates, guideline were broken), and no one has an problems. However, discrediting the original author is a concern for some members.

That's why I suggested the co-author pattern earlier. If both Ramesh's and Suresh's profile pictures appeared on the post, both would feel recognized for their contributions.

Whether mods see this as an issue or not is up to them, I just felt the need to clarify because there is a clear misunderstanding about the actual issue.
