If you have any complaints or criticism about the way the administration team are doing things, having a whinge in a thread is absolutely the wrong way to go about it.
This forum software won't allow us to move a post inside another thread, so locking or deleting are the only options.

Fine answer,

All this bantering over a thread that shouldn't exist really needs to stop, whether the moderators decide to copy + paste messages to make the poster aware that a current thread already exists is nothing to discuss. If this is a big issue like it appears to be for some of you, create a thread in the off-topic lounge with your thoughts on how it should be improved (there's no feedback forum) or contact someone the moderator involved.
Some constructive feedback on improvements would go a long way, to just add my view on how this should effectively work in accordance with not hitting people's nerves would be to just post a standard template message (like done above) and lock the topic. If thread are being removed or peoples posts are being deleted then that opens a gateway for people to accuse the moderators of foul play, which for the sake of the site's long standing good reputation isn't worth the hassle.
There is a phpBB merge feature available; (included in some versions)

- Lock this topic
