Duplicate Subject Titles

Is it possible to control the occurrence of duplicate Subject titles in an automated way?

  • Perhaps PP shall reject exact match of delicate Forum Topics titles.
  • Perhaps a warning that duplicates are being issued should be issued every time a user tries to post a duplicate title.
  • Perhaps the number of new topics created per day by each member shall be limited to some maximum, say 3 per day per member.

    Hi RafaelAs the only

    Hi Rafael

    As the only moderator currently working on PP i have to delete the duplications.

    It takes about 3 minutes to do each one.

    Better if PP allow me to tick a box and just delete a poste rather than the 7 or 8 stages that I have to go through at present.

    Last week some joker put 18 posts on th same topic.

    Best regards

    Hello.We employ 3 young

    Hello.

    We employ 3 young engineers to remove the spam (60 to 70 per day, every day) and most of the duplicate posts (sometimes none, sometimes 20).  One is based in the US, one in Europe and one in the Far East so we can cover most time zones.

    It would be good to implement a fix to prevent the duplicate posts but for now our moderators (incl you Mike... and thanks) have to keep on top of things.  We have some plans but as all of our advertiser monies goes towards the server upkeep there is not much we can do at present.

    PP Team.
