- malandrew 14y agoI really think it's time we on HN require linking to the original article unless there is significant value/commentary added. In fact, I'm in favor of flagging this one as a duplicate and moving all 50 points to the other thread. I'd love to see this become policy. Without such a policy, many blogs have an incentive of taking original links posted on the new page, quickly writing a dumbed down summary in 30 minutes and submitting it as a new story. This is undesirable behavior that needs to be nipped in the bud. Any blog post that essentially just summarizes another one, or worse yet dumbs it down, is spam and should be treated as such.
