Last I checked, identical URLs are automatically prevented. But the duplication becomes a problem when people decide to submit blog posts, etc. instead of original articles. There is (usually) only one "best" URL for a story.
- philwelch 17y agoAlso an issue when people submit the "printer-friendly version" and also the ordinary version. Proposed guideline: submit the "printer-friendly" version?
- thirdusername 17y agoand/or have hacker news auto-flag the printer friendly / non-printer friendly version where it's possible to do so, could be an idea too. :)
- est 17y agoHow does HN handle URL with parameters? e.g. http://example.com/2009/23137321.html?from=rss http://example.com/2009/23137321.html?from=rss http://example.com/2009/23137321.html http://example.com/2009/23137321.html They are basically both the same article.
