Hello Moderator,

I already discussed about this kind of repetition of same article more than once. I have given the link of that thread below.

http://www.boddunan.com/forums/11-general-discussions/13064-dear-boddunan-editors-and-moderators-please-have-a-look-at-this-.html

Now i come across one more in that category.

The content of both the articles are same and both are credited cash and points.

I think it is high time that we should find out some way of detecting this kind of errors automatically. The editors can maintain a database of title of articles and find out if the article already exists.

Yes you are right Meean... hope moderators look into this....
Hope this article writer is not active now!!!!!
You have raised a very valid issue. Editors must be very careful regarding the duplicaty of articles.

But the question is how to trace those articles which have the same content but different titles?
Wow buddy really cool you have really raised a very good issue and soon moderator will reply or consider about that however Maverick is out of station for 2 days so let us wait and see what he does when he returns?
I agree Meean. Duplicate or similar articles should not exist and not carry cash or points. This is a serious matter. There should be no difficulty in weeding out such articles.
Yes.This is a very serious issue.You are right,The content of both article is same.
I think maybe the editors are checking this, but under rare case they miss out some.I don't know.Only moderator can answer it.
Anyways..once again..good caught :)
Why it happen what is the boddunan editors doing they are not working properly this type of activity is avoided
Unless members are conscientious and maintain mimnimum standards of probity in their dealings with the site, it may be virtually impossible for the boddunan team to detect it.Thanks Meean for bringing it to the knowledge of all.
Even if the articles have different titles, same content will be checked as violations of copying from other sites is done. But if there is difference in language and style also, any action will be difficult.

hi friends,

I have started posting articles and polls recently. I havent seen whether articles are repeated or not but polls are almost repeated. I did not understand some polls too due to uncompleted question and options. :( I know that it normal problem in many sites but as there is rewards for polls and posting article i think this problems should not be ignored. Answering the same poll number of times is boring and we dont know which poll will be deleted. SO before starting only there should be some system which can verify the duplicates.
Hi Rajani,
You are absolutely right.There are many duplicate and uncompleted polls.But this problem is rectified to an extent.At present every poll we submit are reviewed like articles.In earlier times, that is almost a week ago, this system was not there.Almost all the polls submitted was published.
So from here onwards no polls will be deleted by moderator, instead bad polls wont get published.
And you can use all boring old polls for getting points. :)
Article duplication is a very rare case.
Mean,
A good reader can see such fake practices.I appreciate your deeds.Keep it up
Yes.This is a very serious issue.You are right,The content of both article is same.
