Vanity On Duplicate Threads

[Admin Moderator]

Duplication is by far the most common reason for an article being pulled. With everyone's help, we can cut down on this tremendously.

Thank you.

Must you continue these duplicate messages?

; )

Not only that, it's a vanity. This must be stopped....

Different source (I am not Jim), different text, not within the last four hours, and not being done force an agenda down the throats of Freepers. ;-)

Already posted here, here, here, here, and the best one is here.

Also, check the search link before you post, OK? Search

(notice: I'm just teasing, at least I didn't post a picture of spam.....)

I know you. You're Yoda!

...when posting, search to see if the article has already been posted. Load up the "Latest Posts" page and scroll down it to see if the same article is there.

I wish there was one page of 1 1/2 line spacing and three columns that listed 1) the article title, 2) the source, and 3) the original author.

With such a set-up, one could quickly scan the recent postings to see if someone has already posted the item but with perhaps a different title.

Perhaps put this page in the sequence necessary to post a new article.

My two euros.

Sir, yes sir, sir!

Thanks for the reminder!

I think that I have read this before. I will do a search.

Yeah, well OK...but look at this one I found from Ted Nugent...

"use the FR search engine"

And search, seperately, both "News/activism" and "General Interest" (aka "The Dead Zone") if it could be in "General Interest".

Third, don't be in a rush to "be the first" to get an article up. Really, is there a big need to do so?

It's an ego thing, rather than an informative thing. How about suspending repeat offender posting privs for 30 days? It is really just a few posters that do most of the duplicate posting.

I believe that the solution is for the supplied URL to be checked for duplication before the post is put up.
