If you do accidentally create a topic in the wrong place, just message a moderator and we can move it to the right area.
If you accidentally create a second one, let us know. I'm usually going to delete any duplicate topic's that have no content to reduce the noise. We already have a ton of things going on here, just trying to help
If you didn't think creating duplicate topics is a problem, it can definitely be one. Basically people can come later searching for information and find mostly empty threads instead of ones with answers, so it adds more noise to the signal.
I only bring this up because I've seen it a few times lately.
If this is more of some kind of bug with the forum, please let me know.
Thanks,
