Any way to combine voting props?

some voting propositions are for the exact same thing as people do not understand how to search for pre-existing items add same feature request. These requests are not getting much deserved attention because of the spread of votes.

As an example, the following props have a combined vote of 1192 votes/xxx voters
Prop: 1035 - HIDE FROM FRIENDS
290 votes/113 voters/no placed

Prop: 855 - Possibility to hide online status?
288 votes/79 voters/no placed

Prop: 983 - Invisibility: Logging on so nobody sees you on their friends list
271 votes/83 voters/no placed

Prop: 823 - PRIVACY
250 votes/81 voters/no placed

Prop: 917 - Appear Offline
113 votes/43 voters/no placed

Would it be possible to get this monitored? This prop was one of the simplest to find, but I am sure there are other, more complex ones. Perhaps a technical user could be given the power to combine these?

EDIT: Added 4th & 5th prop/updated total

Hi Duke! We do have future improvements to the voting system planned.

Merging is tricky--perhaps pointing to "related" proposals would be a good idea tho. An important distinction to make is when there are a couple of proposals which are similar in their vision, but different in their implementation. Complications may arise if the proposals were merged without the consent of the proposal-starters, and furthermore, the Resis voting for them! It's therefore recommended to start at the root and do searches to see if a proposal already exists.

Failing that, in this specific case, we're watching topics related to "increased status and privacy controls" e.g. "show as offline" very closely. You may have seen the recent Community Team Roundtable Meeting transcript taking this head-on, because we want to have it implemented gradually.

Thanks for your suggestion!
