To be quite honest I've seen a few of my posts duplicated with the exact upddoot count back to back...And yet I didn't post it twice 100%....I think there is a glitch somewhere...Its happened to me about 3 or 4 times in the last year...
It's the silly notion that internet points mean something, as though they are redeemable for prizes or more than likely fragile ego building. I agree about not n-tuple posting the same thing, hells bells we have people posting memes so old they can qualify for retirement. We need a certain amount of janitorial clean up on the board of late, sleeper accounts, the n-tuple posting, posts that are in no way relevant but are simply "interesting" news items. Kind of wish the upvote scores were hidden, it would help stop this quick fast, and in a hurry.
I am also at TheDonald.win and there the same thing is going on with stupid hate posts "German hospital bans Russians" (it is a small private unknown clinic) and totally German-Hate comments in it. Nobody did fact-check the info.
And why this country-hating on the .win websites while so much crime against humanity is coming out DONE BY THE PUPPET MASTERS and not a COUNTRY?
There are clearly now "powers" on board of .win communities who push their agendas of desinfo, framing, fogging-up, fake-news.
I sometimes see 3 duplicates right in a row. It's been happening for a long time. I would guess 8 months or more. I just ignore it as I thought it was a glitch too.
I’ve noticed a massive increase in duplicate posts as well. At first I thought perhaps it was a glitch, like maybe the OP had two GAW tabs open when posting? What do I know? I’m not a techie.
Anywho, then someone pointed out that it’s the same posters cluttering up the board with duplicates. Sure enough it is! These are folks who rarely/never make comments, but the post incessantly. If you block them (which only seems to work when Community Stylling is ON) then they go away and scrolling through the posts becomes fun again. 🥳
I should have said for me, personally, blocking the constant non stop posters who post and repost and repost, makes my GAW experience more enjoyable. There are certain people who only repost, and at this point I dgaf what they post or who responds to it.
Also, I don't have a deport button, only report. So I'm not sure how that works.
I posted something about the murdered mRNA scientist Michael Buschmann first on TheDonald where it got TOTALLY ghosted, it never came up in "New", only 1 upvote and some fren asked about it, could only see the headline.
This fren confirmed to me that there are many strange things happening at TheDonald, similiar to what you describe now.
Then I posted the above post here and it was immediately visible in "New" and got upvoted and comments.
= I don't trust TheDonald .win anymore AND I HOPE THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN HERE!!!
People that think a safe space is “the way” hurt my sides, like how can you not think about what all this trash and clutter does to the entirety of this board? Bogs it down, bogs you down, and devalues your contribution, because surely you’ll end up in a shit sandwich between their waves of duplicates
Fren, we're in agreement, not in opposition. I hate trash and clutter, ignore what I can, and block those whom annoy the ever lovin shit out of me with the GWP reposts.
If posting a link to an article, it helps if people keep the same language in of the article title in the post title. It makes it very easy to avoid duplicates. You can add your own two cents or emojis to the post title, but as long as you keep the article title in the post title, it makes it very easy to do a quick search and check to see if its already posted.
When people completely change the post title from the article title, it is much harder to do a search before posting because you literally have to click into the post to read the article to see if its the same.
So my only request is that you keep article titles in your post titles, especially if it is from one of the hot news sources. Everyone typically tries to jump on these hot ones and doing as I described should make it easier to avoid duplicates.
Also, I've made a duplicate in the past and realized after posting that it was a duplicate. Its OKAY to DELETE your own post if you realize this.
It will also save the mods time clearing stuff up.
Its better to delete your post and go make a comment on the original thread so that you can keep the conversation in one place.
I suspect we are going to have lots of breaking news. It's really picked up this week. We can all contribute to keeping things clean by doing a quick search and keep article titles in our posts.
THANK YOU for everyone showing enthusiasm in posting. Let's not lose sight of the fact that this often happens because people are excited and want to contribute.
Slightly off topic, since we moved to .WIN, my search bar has been dodgy to say the least. 9/10 times it won't let me search anything. Some people on here told me it's the same for them. Is there a solution to this? Might get a very small percentage ease off on the duplicate posting if they're able to search and see if somethings been posted. My main gripe is for research, impossible to put a keyword in then see the posts. And even in my archives I organize and save thousands, yet when I open up the category I don't get everything. Is this common throughout the platform or just some of us?
I see stories posted that are days old like the poster expected nobody on this site to post the story. We do it the day of! If you're story is over a day old, DON'T POST IT!
It’s always in a 2-8hr period they will just blast the same shit, and alternate between who shares what. Definite shill action. Even mods who repost their same threads 2 hours after the original had been stickied by themselves, like what’s up with that shit? LOL
Its very easy to miss important posts with the sheer volume on here. Also good for newbies to read stuff we know but which is new to them. We have to make allowances.
I Disagree...There are certain "stories" from weeks, months even years ago that are extremely important in bringing context to certain happenings now...Even some recent news stories with a different angle than what was posted before(duplicate) bring discussions...I do however agree that if its the exact same post...
Been seeing a lot of these, some with exact headlines as if they were copied and pasted. Saw one about Candace Owens recently I believe that was a copy of a sticky, and it made me wonder bot at first... Not sure, because then I thought possible Clowns glowing too hard... Also could just be retards though too.
I try doing a search (can only do it on the computer as search bar doesn't work on cell phone or ipad) if I'm on ipad or phone I look at the stickied & new pages before I post.
What gets me a tad frustrated is when I post something first then others post same story after mine and theirs gets stickied or gets the views & comments, and mine hardly gets any attention. I get the point that at least the story gets viewed but it makes me not want to post whatever I find because I figure why bother, someone else will eventually post it. And if I see someone posted what I was going to before I could, then I give that post an updoot and may leave a comment. I try not to post something someone else had already has.
And I quit opening posts with crappy captions like “WTF” — stuff with one or two words — where the poster is so obviously Hungry for Attention they turn their little piece of nothing into clickbait — Why not do something REAL like showing up at their Republican committee and precinct meetings and stirring the pot there?
Most the shitbirds doing this crap have an underscore in their username, like ‘user_name’, and then there is one user that rolls in here about midnight ET and creates about 30 posts in 40 minutes. Both board sliding techniques.
I thought the identical posts were a buffering or caching issue with the site. I see it on TDW a lot too. Also, my upvotes are hit or miss lately on whether they stay registered. 🤔
I also want to suggest a limit on how many posts one can submit per day. Like 5-10. That would keep a lot of unimportant crap from clogging up the board.
A simple search of the subject BEFORE posting would help people realize their "breaking story" has been posted by 17 others before them in the last 30 minutes and might help them decide instead to post it on the Department of Redundancy Dept. web page.
Ha! That gif is perfect RTT 😂👍🏽 Well, I can see how lately this has happened with the rate of HAPPENINGS gone through the ROOF(top). Seriously tho…it’s important and a good tip. Once or twice a mod has DM’d me that they deleted my post because it was already posted, and I didn’t mind. It put the spark in my plugs to be a bit more aware. It’s pretty hard with the average amount of posts at any time on the board WAY up there. Anyway, yeah ☕️
I disagree on this one,.some people sleep some people go to work, so not every one can be on here 24/7,..so like were human youre gonna miss shit,..and have to catch up,.if you were to get on here and then scroll tthrough to see whats posted before posting yours its easy to miss,.whats already posted,...
this is a nothing burger we all have to go through the same,thing wtf,.just get on with it,.stop all the whining,.only an idiot is going to open both,.once youve read the first move on ,.,
sometimes the site on my end will show the same post twice, not two different posts but just have it listed twice, it happens on the post at the very bottom of the list before it loads more posts, so it is the bottom of the already loaded list and the top of the newly loaded list stapled onto the end
that accounts for most of the double posts ive seen
not sure why I'm being downvoted, you can recreate what I said 100% of the time, every time you load a new list of results it shows a dupe of the last one that was on the previous list, just load new and scroll down as fast as you can

Many people, myself included, are not on other sites (Fb, Twitter etc) so cannot tell that a certain stuff had been posted there.
I see this often also. Some people just want to be "special". They can't take the time to see if what they share is "old news".
May be old news to some and new to others. Not everyone has the same level of awareness.

Someone call the waaambulance
I get this on mobile, each time the page has to add posts. Visual duplication, not always an overzealous poster.

This is the way

Fren, we're in agreement, not in opposition. I hate trash and clutter, ignore what I can, and block those whom annoy the ever lovin shit out of me with the GWP reposts.
That said, there are few people on here with interest in serious posts. I often think some deserve to be stickied but they get ignored by and large.

The search rarely gives any answers, makes it harder to see what's already up.
Exactly! Just keep scrolling
awwww did someone beat you to posting a story??

Dude!
I must have this code for my collection! 😍
Working on a master list and adding more
Where the new ones at?

Soon fren, soon. I promise. There was a post yesterday where a few were "leaked". But the master list will come when finished

A lot of the volume lately is the same shit repeated over and over.

Yes, I agree there. It's the stories with no additional context. Been seeing it a lot lately.
Sometimes weeks or months. Ocassionally, we have lives and miss things. Reposting isn’t always bad. Easy to keep on scrolling
I've seen duplicates in the pinned posts.
I've just been assuming we're getting flooded by sliders. It's a great tactic to bury important stuff.
Very true. Generally done by the same people.

just picked up 2 new GIFs from this thread... thanks OP

ain't it the truth. Hard to imagine needing internet karma for ego, but then again, I'm old school, with a job and a life and whatnot.
I try doing a search (can only do it on the computer as search bar doesn't work on cell phone or ipad) if I'm on ipad or phone I look at the stickied & new pages before I post.

Which is why I hardly post anything here anymore.

I so badly want to make a duplicate post of this. Same picture, slightly reworded text.…but I won’t because I agree, it’s getting out of hand.
Upvote for the smart ass brilliant idea though🐸
Most the shitbirds doing this crap have an underscore in their username, like ‘user_name’, and then there is one user that rolls in here about midnight ET and creates about 30 posts in 40 minutes. Both board sliding techniques.
We see you. We hear you. We help you fix this.
I thought the identical posts were a buffering or caching issue with the site. I see it on TDW a lot too. Also, my upvotes are hit or miss lately on whether they stay registered. 🤔
Upvotes do go missing - a lot.
LOL!
They skipped mine for some reason. Imma downvote myself to fit in with the theme. 🙃
So do comments due to the mods... hmmm
type SLOWER!
Go brrrrrr and give us your best, Roofie!
On my tablet now, but I have an IBM Model M. Absolutely love it.
I bought it for $20 on eBay and it's a 122 key model. Don't think the seller knew what he had.
No Windows key but I use software to remap my right alt key, and don't need it in Linux.
Ohhhh, now I understand. Sounds like we have a leprechaun problem, I'll get my glue traps. 🍀
That search function sure would be nice right about now
I also want to suggest a limit on how many posts one can submit per day. Like 5-10. That would keep a lot of unimportant crap from clogging up the board.
Some WINs actually have this rule in place.
How about 1, Math? One.
For me it's the number of stickied posts, way too many imho
I have been trying to figure out how many of the "hot" threads will only have a couple comments; how did they get marked hot with such few responses?
Can we have this like... perma-stickied?
Thank you for this post good sir! Operation Ramrod✊🏻
Hah, you want effort from those that just want to be noticed. I wish you luck!!
Most of it can be caught on the Conservative news app as well.
A simple search of the subject BEFORE posting would help people realize their "breaking story" has been posted by 17 others before them in the last 30 minutes and might help them decide instead to post it on the Department of Redundancy Dept. web page.
ha ha ha I saw what you did there!
Thank you for saying that! There have been a multitude of 3 of the same posts, which becomes annoying.
Lol on the gif.
I'm not posting ANYTHING... lol... I can't keep up
Concur.
Actually, you only need to do a keyword search and you'll instantly find out if it's already been posted.
Ha! That gif is perfect RTT 😂👍🏽 Well, I can see how lately this has happened with the rate of HAPPENINGS gone through the ROOF(top). Seriously tho…it’s important and a good tip. Once or twice a mod has DM’d me that they deleted my post because it was already posted, and I didn’t mind. It put the spark in my plugs to be a bit more aware. It’s pretty hard with the average amount of posts at any time on the board WAY up there. Anyway, yeah ☕️
Yes ma'am. I will!
And use archive.is on msm articles
I try my best but it can take more than 3 mins with so many posts on here now.
Some of it is due to people in other countries waking up hours after a post is made.
The back to back ones are inexcusable, I take mine down if someone beats me to it, many don't.
Noticed some people re-post the same stuff within a short period of time.
Quicker yet - Search for topic keywords to limit to only similar ones.
A lot of the time it isnt even the new people; everyone trying to be the first to get info shared here no matter what
Sooo, this post appears twice. One right after the other. I didn't skim either one and this does happen. A lot.
Thank you. I guess that's why you're tending the rooftop and I'm in the basement reading as much as possible.
I disagree on this one,.some people sleep some people go to work, so not every one can be on here 24/7,..so like were human youre gonna miss shit,..and have to catch up,.if you were to get on here and then scroll tthrough to see whats posted before posting yours its easy to miss,.whats already posted,...
