It is expected to always go through the forum using the search option or button to look for the intending topic if such had not been discussed before, but toy surprised, just as the whole issue had been discussed on countless occasions on different threads right on the Meta board here, yet OP has not seen an opportunity to locate one or heard about this experience over a week now, it wouldn't make sense if topics were continually discussed after the first thread had been created.
The forum contains some repetition of topics but not so much that it is noticeable. Some users, particularly newbies, might not necessarily want to know whether a topic already exists or not before starting a new one they believe they have an idea for or want others to pay attention to. Some people don't know how to utilize the search option or don't see the need to learn about it, resulting in the forum's posts being repeated.
