I apologize, I should have worded that more politely.
I assumed there was no automated dupe linking because I regularly see comment posts with links to earlier discussions. Always struck me as the kind of thing a computer should be doing.
- dang 8y agoI didn't think you were impolite! I was just curious what you had in mind. What would "automated dupe linking" be?
- steveklabnik 8y agoA few years back, there was a user that used a script to find duplicate submissions and put them in a comment on every story. I can’t seem to find it now; I thought they had “giraffes” in their username? Anyway, it was mildly controversial, and they stopped. I always kinda liked it, to be honest.
