To Mods in regards to "spamming" posts to inform those there is a similar post that already exists.
I and many others have reported a similar bug that seems to go unnoticed. So I've been going through every separate similar post and informing those looking for answers that this bug has been reported before, send them a link to the relevant thread, and asking them to up vote it. I was told this wasn't ok and those comments were removed.
In my opinion my actions would of reduced the clutter of a dozen or more similar posts created hours/days apart. If there is any exception to "spam" this should be it. If a solution is found and posted in one thread users shouldn't have to wait for someone in the know to come across their post.
