Copying answers from duplicated threads is sadly a common practice in this web site. Perhaps these flags should be rewarded? Perhaps there might be a way of speeding up the closure process? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 6:05 | comment | added | Tom Brossman | This bothers me, too. I suspect the root cause is that there is no reward (in the form of reputation gain) for flagging dupes, but there is a gain in rep for posting upvoted/accepted answers, even for very obvious dupes. Duplicates are a real problem here, and there is little incentive for weeding them out. Time for a new 'deduplication' badge? | |

| Jul 6, 2012 at 7:26 | comment | added | RobotHumans | I have done this personally, in an attempt to solve(get single upvote to remove it from unanswered percentage and prevent others from answering), because I know -- if it is duped, then I will delete my answer. Others may not do the same. | |
