Repeat messages

[schr8er2000]

is there ANY way to stop people from posting repeat messages ??

I have seen some of the same old messages repeated time and time again.....

this not occurs in the regular forums but also in the posting for guns for sale....

ONCE should be enough......

Can you give an example?

I don't know what you mean by "repeat messages".

[Pa. Patriot]

I'm a little unsure what you mean too...

If your talking about duplicate topics, then no. But when you see a duplicate, just push the button and a mod will close/deal with it.

does that mean i can report every post where a mod says "do a search this has been gone over before".???


just asking

Sure, let me know when you've written a program that can efficiently parse human language, understand the context of the text, and related it to the context of all other language in the database let me know.

Until then, use the report post button if it's that big of a deal

all I was trying to say is that it seems like some people just keep repeating the same old things...and NO its not that big of a deal....

Is there any way we can get rid of repeat messages?

We usually do, report them.

With the amount of posting on the forum these days, it's hard for us to read every post.

What kind of repeat messages are we talking about here? For example, I bump two threads with the same title on Sundays if I'm going to the range, one is in the "Shoots and Range Trip" forum and one in the local "Philadelphia" forum, two threads same title, same message, but in two different places.

Not everyone goes to the "new posts" link, instead they peruse specific forums, that's why I do it that way. IS this the kind of repeat message you guys are talking about?
