Is it advisable to check for and handle crossposts in PHP forum threads to maintain the quality of discussions and help provided?

// Check for crossposts in PHP forum threads
function handle_crossposts($thread_id) {
    // Check if the thread has any crossposts
    $crossposts = get_crossposts($thread_id);

    if (!empty($crossposts)) {
        // Redirect users to the original thread or merge duplicate discussions
        redirect_to_original_thread($crossposts);
    }
}

// Function to get crossposts of a thread
function get_crossposts($thread_id) {
    // Implement logic to retrieve crossposts of a thread
    // Return an array of crosspost thread IDs
}

// Function to redirect users to the original thread or merge duplicate discussions
function redirect_to_original_thread($crossposts) {
    // Implement logic to redirect users to the original thread or merge duplicate discussions
}
