- cf100clunk 5y agoOf all the topics for which we do not need dupes, this one is a perfect example. Don't people use HN's search tool?
- dang 5y agoOn HN, reposts only count as dupes if the story has had significant attention in the last year or so. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. (but also, it's true, people tend not to use HN search before posting)
- GekkePrutser 5y agoMaybe there could be an auto search with a warning when posting a link? Saying "hey this has already been posted" and a summary of those rules. But you have probably thought of this already and didn't do it for a good reason. In this case I hadn't seen it before so it was news to me.
- kergonath 5y agoTrying to post a dupe often results in nothing being posted and the original submission being opened instead. I have no idea how accurate the thing that checks for dupes is, though, or on what criteria its decision is based.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoOh ok I've only ever posted questions. I just assumed it didn't because I have seen a lot of dupes (also recent ones). But I guess making it too wide would create false positives.
