Can we leave the novelty accounts to Reddit, please?

  Huh. I thought this was something completely different. I thought this was a robot to help cross-references submissions about the same topic, and find duplicates that the built-in dup detector doesn't find. As such, I thought it would be valuable.

    I think he thinks you're just using DupDetector as a cute name while you post this stuff.

    If it's a bot, I can see the value in it. It would be better as a built-in feature, but nevertheless it makes sense. I just hope that it doesn't inspire less useful accounts which would be more akin to Reddit's novelty accounts.

  Are you asking him to change the account name, or stop detecting dupes?
