Nice work, spanish translation ready (in "PR" GitHub)

Merged, thanks a lot

So does this automatically merge posts or is there a moderation tool added that allows two or more posts to be merged? I'd prefer the latter

[rxu]

Regret for moderators, this is for users
Posts will be merged automatically, unless post approval is needed. For this case the ext won't work, but thank you for the idea, I'll think about adding this option.

Really nice ext! I'm waiting for the final release.

is there a moderation tool added that allows two or more posts to be merged?

Great idea to extend functionality of this extension

Just to clarify, would this at the admins setting, allow automated merging of posts? I want to make sure users have no means to bypass this functionality. Additionally, there is a few key forums I don't want this merging to take place. Will there be granularity built-in where it can be enabled/disabled across the various forums?

What is the purpose of merging posts within this extension? I try this on my site and merge users' posts!

I'm not sure what do you mean, but this ext does exactly what the description says

Within the ext ACP settings, you can set a comma separated list of forum ids to exclude those from posts merging functionality.

Again, it's exactly what its description says (please see the 1st post)
