#2 Bobby, I think Dupe Entry means several people submitted the same article. Whether it's timing that determines which one goes up, or best comments, only the moderators know. But anyway, that's your name there, so...

#3 "Whether it's timing that determines which one goes up, or best comments, only the moderators know."

Ha! NOBODY knows what actually causes that "Dupe Entry" thingie. My best guess is it's something Fred's code does at random...

Anyway, it's fixed.

#4 NOBODY knows what actually causes that "Dupe Entry" thingie.

I think it's because the Rantburg blog is slowly turning into an AI.

#6 Not to be technical, but when you submit a post the Burg Borg compares the source URL to the URLs of all previous posts. If we get a match we get the 'Dupe' warning so mods can see if we've duplicated a post.

This isn't perfect: when we get a Scrappleface entry we always get a Dupe warning because the source URL is always the root for Scrappleface. So the mods edit those.

But otherwise it's a good way for us to avoid dupes so that Seafarious won't have as many excuses to laugh at me (as the mod who is the worst offender on dupes).

#7 Yep, dupe from yesterday. But good enough for a re-run.
