is their some unwritten rule here on FR that a relative noob like myself does not know about regarding duplicates? what is the big deal? I understand FReepers pointing out other dupe type threads on the same subject that we can look over for additional comments to read and such, nothing wrong there at all but some make it out to be some grave error of FR etiquette to put up the same story, even days apart. do they think everyone spends 24 hours a day on FR as to not miss a story? I don’t have the time either to scroll back the days stories either. help me out here capt. what is their problem or am I missing something?
It’s all about bandwith for running the site. Check out FR’s posting guidelines which explain everything. Regardless, I don’t personally have a problem with duplicate posts, hours apart, as long as someone doesn’t get carried away.
