Sep 12, 2016 at 22:59 | comment | added | Thomas Yun | all right all right. I wasn't sure what you meant by "5 3k users"? | |
Sep 12, 2016 at 19:33 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | The thing you seem to be missing here is that they are "possible" duplicates. That word is important, you are under no obligation to accept a duplicate as fact, however you are obliged to explain why it is not a duplicate or it may still get closed. It does not matter if your post gets flagged as a dupe, 5 3k users must agree and they are simple to contest or overturn. IMO we should most defiantly be quick to flag a dupe but also willing to revise that vote if new evidence comes to light. | |
