Can you do something to stop duplicate posts (like this example)? It should be easy - if the more than one copy of the same message is received in the space of a few seconds only add one of them. It's embarrassing!

Hi there DrDre! Interesting question. The short answer is yes it is possible but we don't do it. Basically because on a thread that went OP: AIBU in thinking pancakes should be banned? 1st reply: YABU 2nd reply: YABU 3rd reply: YABU, etc etc obviously we would lose the weight of responses and some people's posts wouldn't appear.

That sort of thread tends to occur more frequently than ones where someone accidentally posts twice.

If you do find you've got a duplicate post, though, just hit the report button above the duplicate and tell us and we can nip in and delete it for you.
