[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Lock down the dupe police...

Posted: 7/19/2018 9:58:04 PM EDT

Shit gets old and not everyone lives on this site nite and day. Most of the threads I personally encounter are ones Ive never seen before, but majority of replies are the dupe police.

I thought this was the jobs of MODS ?

The dupe police have no real power.

Not as many opportunities for dupe police if you are posting things other than news articles.

Obviously not, but gets old clicking on a "new to me" link or thread and its full of the usual bullshit of IBTL, DUPE, etc etc...

Get rid of post count and I bet that bullshit would stop...

This, however duplicate threads often do get locked once they're brought to the attention of mods or staff.

The main reason behind it is to consolidate information. Many threads on a single subject dilute the information and make it harder to follow.

Keeping dupe threads in check helps everyone.

I completely understand minimize the dupe threads, but leave to the mods, not the fucking dupe police. Like i said, majority of threads I enter they are new to me and im sure plenty of other ppl feel the same.
