This really should get acted on or something similar! Since I suggested it we are averaging every couple hours a request that has already been suggested or a duplicate idea.
To make matters worse it is a double edged sword as people then vote for the new request when those votes would be better served on ONE thread 
It is bad enough new members don’t know to look if there is already a vote in place but thinking about it more I realised that when we vote it would be wise to look if it is already in place 
Obviously this would be mad but it just goes to show the system would help clean the forums.
