  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.

  68996 is a low id? ;-)
  
  Yeah, the dupes are increasing. But I don't think it's a big deal. What's also increasing is the number of stories I've come across somewhere else first. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm starting to suspect /. is no longer most people's first port of call when looking for breaking news. It's shifting from being a site that reports breaking stories and under-the-radar stories, to one that just rounds up the pick of the week, so to speak.

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.

  Take them as an opportunity for the desesperate ones to get karma points. If a dupe story is posted, the only thing needed to get good karma is to check the old article, post in this one the best (+5 points) ones, and you get instant, mindless karma.
  If old articles are not checked for dupes, how will be checked old comments of those old articles? :)

  I've suggested before that the slash code could easily take the URLs in a submission and look back through previous submissions and posted stories. It could mark the submission as "possibly a repeat" when it's entered in the queue, so the editor has a clue at first glance.
  In fact, when multiple submissions refer to the same link, the queue routines could even find the "best" submission or the "earliest" submission and give those preferential weighting. You could define "best" as having more links, more text, text below the fold, or other metrics. Heck, if editors cared, then slashcode could search for some simple grammar blunders and reduce the weighting appropriately.
  Automated metrics and quality-checking flags are just a part of the solution-- a set of standards used by the editors (like, oh, reading it) would still be necessary.

  Hey, he can always say: Give me a job or I'll just post duplicate links to your site on Slashdot.
  
  Seriously though, building a large, loyal customer base is a serious management achievement. Getting the site name into the Jargon file (Slashdot Effect) is another.
  Building a /legitimate/ large DDOS tool is another achievement (see slashdot effect).

The best thing about duplicate stories on /. are the nearly infinite amount of 'Dupe?'-posts which are posted even before the 'FP?!!!1'-posts.
