I frequently have been a dupe nazi.
I don’t know why there is always a drive to be the first person to post a link and yell dupe. Perhaps because it gives the typical member the power rush of almost having Mod like powers to lock a thread.
But due to recent discussions, I decided to approach it differently. I know first hand with even as much time as I spend on here it is possible to miss things. Also, if the last time something was posted was a year ago, there is a good chance that a lot of new people have not seen it.
So what do I do now, and have been doing recently? I post a link. Simple as that. I see a dupe and I post a link to the largest thread that that particular thread is a dupe of.
I do not yell dupe. I do not post dupe pictures. I simply post a link. If the mods then deem it has been repetitive enough, or recent enough to lock it, then that is their business. Otherwise, I have now provided a link to more information about the current topic.
So if you post a topic, and I post a link to another thread of the same subject, don’t get pissy with me and call me a dupe nazi. I am providing you a link to more information about your topic. If the mods lock it, talk to them.
Thank You.
