How do we control the content of the posts when a thread consists of more or less 500 pages already?
I mean, the answers are probably already said in the first pages and of course, a single user cannot read back to know if his answer is already said because of too many pages.

It can't be stopped as long as the threads remain open for anyone to post. The only solution is for the thread starter to lock it.
If you want the redundant answers to continue then you can start by ignoring such threads and stop posting in them. Those threads are spams anyway.

Are the staff have the authority to delete this kind of thread? because i know that you can delete some spammy post. but i don't know about deleting
a nonsense thread.

We can either lock, delete or trash the thread. They are handled on a case-by-case basis and appropriate action is taken (although currently it is lacking in certain sections).

i think this thread will give a same result as OP describing thread. hahaha. you better luck now because staff already answer your question.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. As a general recommendation when starting threads (until the fight against spam improves), I suggest creating self-moderated threads each time.

What thread are we talking about? A thread that is ~500 pages long is not common (unless we're talking about some altcoin ANN threads or special threads like Wall Observer).

Those threads are generally useless and should have been locked long ago (excluding the examples listed above). How about you avoid posts in those in the first place?

users that giving their opinion and quoting repeatedly the first post OP is consider as spamming.i think many of them just post because signature campaign.
and i already saw some user that answering irrelevant to their quoted message.
