Please make a time, for example 6 (or 12 or 24) hours between messages to merge them. If time is more than this, then messages will not be merged. Maybe that will be nice ?
Merge messages only before time periodSuggestion
Right now messages are merged if they are from the same user as the last poster. I do not see a need for a time limit to be set for those at the moment, but one may be added eventually.
