This is an exellent community but how can we take anyone seriously as a researcher of news and information if they cannot even use the search button on here for key phrases of an article before posting? I understand there are some obscure headings and sometimes it's inevitable but the number of duplicate posts is getting completely out of hand.

I believe this post is a duplicate, just sayin!
he forgot to capitalize "G"
I noticed that right away. Seems there are other random words capitalized though. Weird.
Little "g" = Lucifer
Fight fire with fire.

I see what you did there, lol.
DroppsaDuece already did your post word for word. Or are you the OP? Dry confusing.

I’m sitting in DMV .. thanks for the laugh , I needed it !
LOL
Not sure many people really care. I've been on numerous sites where people complain about duplicate posts but it's a benefit for people who don't live on the site 24/7. If I don't see an article on the first post I might see a later posting.
This is a good point. I've learned facts on here that were called out as being posted in the past, but I had missed them.
If the site were NOT cluttered with re-posts, the original post would not be buried 10 pages down.
There's a certain mod that will take posts, copy them, repost them as his own, and sticky them. Just saying.
True that !
Waaaaaaaaaaah
The search is garbage. However, reading either new, rising, top, or hot for 20 seconds would eliminate 90% of duplicates, and 100% of the duplicates people actually notice.
I have a suspicion some people just post and don't actually read anything here, because you get multiple duplicates in a row sometimes.
My favourite is when a big event happens like the Trump indictment and like a day or two later you get a deluge of duplicate posts acting like it's breaking news.
the real solution is to check rising or top/hourly rather than new if you're triggered by repeat material
I personally would implement the following:
I did something similar in bash scripting for my current job. I can eventually help.

Too busy searching for a search button that works.
Fewer.
Oh my gosh freedom of speech is so inconvenient!!
This is correct, you’ll get banned for disagreeing with a mod. I think some of the mods are Soy Boys.
Not true. Over a year ago, I got a short ban for a comment that could be taken a couple of ways...explained my side, and I believe it was the mod who'd put me in timeout ...reversed it and let me out of jail.
From what I've seen, an individual post or accidental repetition of a topic generally won't get you in trouble. You have to build up a bank of more than 1 post that insult participants here or smear/mock their general beliefs to be sanctioned. They are going after patterns of behavior, not opinions.
One of the main problems is that the search function only pulls from post titles, not the bodies. So, when people create posts with titles like, "I totally agree...." or something similar, the search function doesn't work.
Every time I search on PC, I only get results from months old stuff. When I search by mobile, the screen never loads. Can someone put a "search bar use for faggots" tutorial please?
your post is a duplicate post. I read posts for the posts and for the comments. a similar post can have more activity for any number of reasons, such as the time of day posted, who posts, how's it appears, etc. there's no harm posting similarly and it can be worthwhile to view similar posts.
also, IMHO, a poster should engage with commenters, which you've apparently decided against.
also, to your point, if you have a pet peeve about this I'd suggest schooling us on how to search posts because the search bar sucks if you simply put in a phrase. for example, when I search "posting duplicates" your post doesn't even come up
The big three posters on here apparently think they are saving the world (instead of trying to indoctrinate the world to their personal world view) disagree? this is a "Q" Board, not a new article clearing house! The big 3 posters rarely post anything "Q" related
Anybody else wonder how many alt accounts are in play?
duplication doesn't really matter @Reese27. At least you know what's popular.
I have never once in years been able to get search to work on this site and dozens of times people have posted saying exactly the same thing.
VOAT use to have software that told you an article was already post, problem solved.
No. Next question?
Could Mods delete the duplicates.
