| Add Karma and Comments if you think this is a good suggestion! So, say we got a Topic called *Trouble insalling PHP on Windows* it might be helpful to post that topic in both PHP and Windows Communities right? What does everyone think? Will this make a valuable addition? What priority should it have? |

| While I think in theory it is not a bad idea, I think it would split up the discussion too much at this time, if we could create a redirect topic that was in two communities at once but shared the same replies, that would be crazy awesome, but probably hard to implement. | ||||||

| That's what I mean. It would be posted in two communities but share the same thread. I think it would be cool to bring two different communities into the same discussion to capitalize on their different strengths. I do not know how hard it is but maybe I can think about it. I don't know the database schema though. |

| Oh, well then that is a great idea! Maybe you could just make one a redirect or something, and post a shadow topic in another group? |

| Hey, I really like this idea. I was about to dismiss it because it might confuse people (one thing that scares me beyond anything else) but redirecting, as Constantine suggested, is a great idea. But you know, this might just create spam. Any ideas on reducing the spam? | ||||||

| Well I guess I would limit it to three communities, and maybe allow the community creator to dismiss redirects that he/she finds irrelevant? I don't know really, combating spam is hard work. And maybe limit the amount of multi-group topics you can post per hour or something? | ||||||

| Community moderation will at some stage become a must, be it user or owner based. This might be something to consider before expanding spam capabilities. | ||||||

| Well the community is already moderated by moderators, community owners and topic owners. This feature was just added a couple of days ago. A person who posts a topic can delete any thread within it. A person who owns the community can delete any topic or any thread within that community. A person who is the moderator can delete any topic or reply anywhere on the network. So I wouldn't worry too much about this. I am really interested in adding this feature. Instead of three, we give the user the option to post to just one other community. |

| This would be really cool, but if it ends up a little to unrestricted it could make it so that communities didn't matter at all, also, if you were a member of one community, but not the other, would you post it as a Guest or as yourself? | ||||||
