| Feb 17, 2014 at 13:07 | comment | added | user98085 | Well, MSO is different. For one, they can use bounties to bump questions, which is a really big help. That said, I can't say I've noticed them actually closing PSA/call-to-action style questions as duplicates of much older questions - which might just be because they usually don't get such questions. SO doesn't have too many recurring problems (the huge close queue on SO is pretty much the only thing I can think of) that aren't addressed with [feature-request]s or [faq]s. | |

We use them for [support] and [feature-request] questions (because time usually isn't a factor for them), but [discussion] questions usually serve more as a PSA/call to action kind of thing, so bringing that up frequently and with fresh eyes isn't a bad idea. Instead of duplicating, we just leave a "Related:" link instead. :) | |
