Can FR initiate a filter that would spot when someone is about to post something with a link to the same URL of the article that someone else may have posted, and then they would get an 'error' message that this article has already been posted? Might be an idea. Might be problems with that approach, though.

It's a good idea, but it has to be a warning not an error. Some news sources recycle URLs or aggregate all news on one page.
