Filter on URL would be the first step, if it is a duplicate URL submitted then point the submitter to that story.
Could also use recently, i.e. last week or 24 hours, to compare stories at submitted URLs such that if someone submits a story on G-man advert from a different site it is found or at least present to the submitter to check if their submission is a duplicate.
- ColinWright 15y agoURL duplication is already done, but it's especially simple-minded, can't cope with tracking crap on the URL, and will never work for the identical story from different sites. If the URL is identical it counts as an upvote for the original submission.
