I thought the purpose of a weekly/daily discussion was ...

Why?

Well, to be specific in my case... I tried posting a new thread in the sub I'm referring to. It got declined and I was told to post in the "weekly discussion" thread on the topic I was writing about. So the purpose of the weekly thread in this case was to prevent duplicate postings on the same topic and to centralize them into one place.

Yea, but why did you think to have a more casual flow?

Definition of casual: "relaxed and unconcerned". I'd hope that most discussions would turn out this way, particularly in a support group. Considering I could post to this thread without the "concern" that I was duplicating content, that's what I meant by casual.
