I didn't think you were impolite! I was just curious what you had in mind. What would "automated dupe linking" be?



A few years back, there was a user that used a script to find duplicate submissions and put them in a comment on every story. I can’t seem to find it now; I thought they had “giraffes” in their username? Anyway, it was mildly controversial, and they stopped.

I always kinda liked it, to be honest.
