either merge them, lock them or delete one or both of them, it depends

Well, I usually lock one of them. But I should of try merging them.

I only merge them if there is a need for it, if not I inform the person that their topic has been moved to the dump bin as it was a duplicate and a link to the thread that was already there.

I will either delete, merge topics or just moved to trash for keeping the topic count. But mostly will merge the topics as they are the same one.

I just merge them. No use wasting a topic by deleting them.

If it's got posts in it i'll merge it, if not it goes to the bin.

Usually lock it, but if it's got a good no. of posts, I'll merge them.
