For me it just depends on what it is. If it's a recommendation thread, I always merge it to the recommendation thread in the relevant forum. It's why I put them in every forum.
If it's a thread about a band that already has a thread, I'll lock the thread and make a post about using the search feature (or post my handy dandy pikture instruktions), because they should learn how to do that, rather than me having to merge their thread every time they falsely assume that there's no Beetles thread in a music forum...
Otherwise, if it's a random thread needing locking, I'll just lock it, make a note, and let it sit there as an obvious message.
