Why so many duplicate discussions remaining?

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 12 Sep 11

I was going to start a discussion tonight so I did the usual search and saw that there were already five duplicates of them, none with more recent responses than four or five years ago. Whichever one I might reply to would be a...

Have you ever thought of a discussion, searched for similar, found none

Wizzywig @Wizzywig (7847) 29 Apr 10

... and then, when you posted it, had one of your own appear in the list of similar discussions. I've just done that! It was a genuine mistake and I had forgotten that I'd already posted it here some 8months ago. I have reported...

dorannmwin @dorannmwin (36392) • United States 29 Dec 09

No, I'm not talking about a female issue at all, I'm talking about near the end of the month when you see all of the duplicate discussions from people that are hurrying to try to reach their payout. Seriously people, there can...

Posting controversial discussions- a race?

boogerman @boogerman (1544) • Philippines 21 Aug 09

Expect that when something new or unusual happens, several discussions about a particular topic will rise up. I call it as a race because the first one who posted the topic without violating the rules will make his/her discussion...

Frustrated with fellow MyLotters....

crimsonladybug @crimsonladybug (3112) • United States 18 Feb 09

I have made roughly 20 posts in the last week, cumulative total, because people are frustrating me. Maybe it's just me but it seems like lately there has been an influx of duplicate discussions. I mean really, you can only answer...

Sorry--after I posted my discussion, I noticed others just like it!

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 30 Apr 08

This place is so big and sprawling, like a huge metropolis, that I get lost! After I posted my discussion of guilty pleasures, I noticed many others listed below it on the same subject! I imagine myLotters get tired of all the...

catjane @catjane (1036) • United States 4 Apr 08

You are supposed to see what others have written before you make a new post, but honestly, who has the time to go through pages and pages of posts to see what is on there. So what if you post something someone else has discussed?...

Should myLot "SCREEN & ALERT" for REPEAT DISCUSSIONS?

w1z111 @w1z111 (985) • United States 9 Apr 07

I've only been at myLot for a short while, but I've seen many many 'repeat' discussions already! Seems like overkill or over-saturation, no? With all the tags, keywords, etc. that myLot contributors use, I'M sure software could...

Do you search first?

trinihd @trinihd (996) • United States 29 Mar 07

im really not sure as to the proper rules on mylot- but i know that you cant repeat a discussion previously opened. But sometimes we really dont know if that discussion has been talked about in the past unless we search for that...

Do you always run a word search before starting a discussion?

Patswords @Patswords (189) • United States 11 Mar 07

I always try so that I won't be duplicating another discussion. But most of the time nothing shows up even with a full text search. Then after I have posted my discussion a list at the bottom will show similar discussions using...

Two hours ago I started a discussion asking for help with my Palm Wireless Keyboard. I didn't get any responses. Since then I have got it to work but it is not working right. If I start another discussion asking for help will it...
