@Aditya that won't help anybody, really. It creates a moderating overhead on 10kers and the close queue. More than 80% of the questions in the close queue are supposedly "exact duplicates" which I really doubt it. "Having dozens and dozens of variations of the same question is clearly bad." (source) Too much duplication even if you think is helpful at the end will be harmful. Try searching: halp me pls site:askubuntu.com so you know what I'm talking about. (the result should be 0)

| May 26, 2014 at 19:45 | comment | added | Aditya | @Braiam I hope you remember the discussion once you had with EliahKagan (probably in chat) - where Eliah said that he prefers to close as duplicate if there are even slight indications that it is a duplicate (rather than closing it as unclear/other reasons).. I kind-of agree with his views and follow a similar approach while closing. Deleting the questions is another topic, I don't think mixing things would help the cause. | |
| May 26, 2014 at 12:59 | comment | added | Braiam | @Aditya remember that the duplicated are to help future visitors to find the question. Loosy duplicates are unuseful at best and harmful at worse. If you cannot give a reasonable answer and say "this is the answer" please, vote as unclear. I'm tired of voting to delete these duplicates. | |

| May 13, 2014 at 20:45 | comment | added | Aditya | Most of the times they are either duplicates and I flag/vote as such. Or, if it is really unclear where one cannot reasonably expect an answer without further information I flag/vote as "unclear". When I vote as "unclear" I always try to leave a comment as to what is unclear about the question and what he/she should do when the OP shows atleast some amount of research effort. If I believe OP hasn't even googled for his problems I often close without even leaving a comment. We can expect some amount of research effort on OP's part even though we are Ask Ubuntu. | |
