  1. Ok these dupes are getting STUPID by cyberlotnet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This was posted less then a month ago..

    The search box at the bottom of the page, "linux mpeg" and bang first page results..

    There should be able to rate articles as "dupes" posters of "dupes" get locked out of slashdot for 7 days. This might force people to use the search button prior to posting, At the very least it would keep Hermos and other staff locked out of slashed forever since they are some of the worst offenders.

    It's about Linux; who cares if it's a dupe?!

    Maybe they should put a link on the amazing future ones that says "Dupe" and if a story gets more than a couple "Dupe" votes from logged in paid members, it would be automatically delayed until an editor re-approved it?

    While this would work just fine, we really shouldn't have to resort to something like this. I've been around /. for quite a while now (my original ID was 68996; fairly low)...Dupes never used to be a real problem. It's only been in the last 6 - 12 months that they've become an epidemic. I can recall maybe 2 - 3 dupes in the first 3 years of my /. reading experience. What has changed recently that we see so many dupes? Any Editors care to comment?

    Then again, maybe I wasn't paying as much attention in the first few years I was around these here parts...maybe dupes have been an epidemic the whole time?

    I'm not complaining, this is a distributed system, and nothing's perfect. I'm just curious.

    Two things have probably contributed to the number of dupes:
    • Increased number of Editors
    • Increased number of stories submitted
    Increased number of editors means more people to check with before posting a story, and increased number of stories submitted means more to check through.

    Bear in mind that most dupes use different links to the same stories, and are worded differently. This makes it much harder to check whether stories exist, as they may be the same story from different angles.
