I noticed while going through the posts... There are repeats and peats and repeats and people who are not aware they are posting something that was already posted... So I propose an idea... That is if you see a post... That was already posted... Go search the topic find the very first post of that topic.. Post the post in reply to the responce and say. This is already been posted.. responding here is losing points.. Lets respond to the original post... I think this would not only help the admin so they do not have to wade and cut down on all the repeats.. But it would also help us all to realise when our posts are going to get deleted and do not count. Do you think this is a good or bad idea? :)... I thinks it's good.. As I realised I responded to tons of repeats... and I am kind of tired of losing points... I bet you all are too. :).

I think it would be beneficial if when you are ready to post a topic for their to be a pop-up to notify you that this topic has already been discussed. But, sometimes what you are discussing is worth repeating. Especially those that pertain to health issues.

Yeah I was thinking of all those cat or dog posts... I found while wading through the pets discussions... I post replies to a couple of them but figured what the heck... Maybe the administration can let us just reply with already posted, and put in the tag "marked for deletion" then they can review to see if it is a repeat post and then delete it.. Just there are so many posts. I do not know how the admin keeps up with it lol. :). I guess we could use the report abuse but I really do not want to report abuse on repeat posts.. if a person honestly did not realise it was already posted.. but yeah its different with health topics or things where they can be thousands of good discussing answers..
