We alert people that there are similar story titles already when they’re creating items. It’s only a gentle nudge but I just wanted to mention that. We could be more aggressive about it in a variety of ways.

I think @Undisciplined has the right idea. Global rate limiting/fee escalation would probably go some distance

Hey K00b can you do something about the repetitive news posts?

Nice idea.

Would require more substantial verification of post content than presently exists though. I believe currently the validation is done only on the url itself.

Continuing in that direction doesn’t prevent different types of links: e.g. Twitter, vs landing page, vs press release va GitHub. Or more importantly the same news from different sources from appearing multiple times.

But I agree with the sentiment in general. Rather than needing to mute serial offenders.
