DIGG filter for GFY
 

We need a filter like the one DIGG uses to check for duplicate content BEFORE you submit the link/article/thread.

What do you think?

and RSS feeds

Including duplicate complaints about duplicate content?

digg is so 90s

yes, a filter would catch those as well.

I'm starting to think you wrote a postbot...

Digg never was 90s

"Digg started out as an experiment in November 2004 by Kevin Rose, Owen Byrne, Ron Gorodetzky, and Jay Adelson. All except Owen Byrne currently play an active role in the management of the site."

I haven't checked DIGG in forever. I would think now that the iphone is out and Obama is elected, they have nothing to talk about over there.

it would piss me off, chances are it would work much like digg's in that everytime i digg something it asks me if completely irrelevant articles are duplicates :)

besides most of the time the gfy threads are intentional duplicates
like "spam me with blowjob sponsors" 5 years ago is useless

Okay, this made me chuckle.

Regardless, I agree with the threadstarter to an extent. Like STB said, put a time filter as well.

or just exercise this amazing power to only click on one of the threads?

amazing that you would mention the word "exercise".

I was trying to help sort through all of the triple post topics. A "digg type" filter sounded like a good way to warn the poster that his/her topic was already posted. What's wrong with that? Having a bad day? Got heartburn?

I just never get why people appear to be so upset by things being posted twice. I do get it when there is a breaking story and people decide they each need to start a thread about it but if it is two or so posts on the same topic in a spread out period I don't see the big deal.

I also don't see the need to get into personal attacks but you know, having lost nearly a 100lbs now I think I am allowed to use the word 'exercise'. Thanks.

where did I get upset?
does this sound like I am upset?

I didn't even post a frowny face.

Which is why I said, having a bad day?

Fine..I also wasn't try to jump on your idea and perhaps interpreted it as one of those 'timeline' type responses which get a bit tired. I wasn't getting personal. So, relax and good night.

go put some "Yaz" on and settle.

Yazoo were better.

might help if they had a "delete thread" button that the thread poster could click within 2 minutes or something

most of the good ideas for gfy won't ever happen because change is not good for gfy. gfy is and has been #1 for awhile , and they dont do much to keep it that way other than not doing anything heh.

They cant get any higher on the adult forum ladder.


What would be cooler though is to allow people to "lock" threads. like lets say every week every gfy member gets 3 "bullets" they can use to kill a thread with. if a thread gets 50 bullets , it dies and gets locked.
