Y'all let me know if you need assistance with removing dups, I'd be happy to help (as of now at least).
When someone posts a dup several hours later, I wonder if its possible to 'touch' original previous post so that it bubbles up in the time chain rather than just removing the new dup post. This way, it gets the visibility as the dup poster intended, but also consolidates comments and OP gets proper credits.

It's a good idea.
The only way I can think of to do that is a short sticky to get engagement, we aren't in charge of the ranking algorithms and can't really affect them either. It might be worth doing that in some instances, although personally I like to keep the stickies to 7 or 8 and given that a couple of places are reserved for the daily etc, sometimes there isn't room for manoever, sometimes there is.
