No more Merging, just delete repeated ideas

Some may not agree with me, but I am not a fan of the Merging of ideas. I thought of an idea, watching people's races. Then, someone came up with a VERY similar idea much later than I did, wrote like one sentence down, and then my post was merged into theirs. I'm not a fan of this. I feel like the person who posts it first should be the one that gets to keep their post if we continue merging. If we end merging, then just delete the repeated post.
