Would it be possible to ask a thread starter before merging threads?

[Darryshan 23]

Recently a few of my threads have been merged with others. However, these threads of mine were actually quite different to the ones they were merged with, such as one on how people became a brony, which was merged with one about when people became one. It obviously wasn't very obvious to the moderator, and I understand why you did it, but in future would it be possible for mods to message the thread starter and ask them whether they're ok with the merge first?

It might just be easier to open a mod dispute or something of that nature.

Eh idk normally there right in merging threads from what I can tell. If you have any problems I suggest PMing the mod or opening a mod dispute or something, if theres a issue I'm sure they can undo it somehow.

Not really, no. It would take the moderators a ton of excess time, and it would just be awkward if the OP were to say 'no', and the moderators kinda need to, anyway. It's far easier to create a Mod Dispute through Support Tickets, and broach to us why you believe they worked as separate topics, after the moderation has been done. If you make a valid point, we're fully capable of splitting merged topics again.
