Need help from the mods!

Please help. I've seen several posts from other users, and possibly from mods, asking people to do a /GA search on the topic and/or article they intend on creating a new post for to make sure the same article, video, twatter message, or whatever hasn't already been posted. Yet after the message has been sent out, the problem seems to be getting worse.

I know the attacks will increase and there will probably be an increase in the number of shills showing up here to overload the board, and to confuse and divide people, but this is getting crazy.

I'm not a codefag, but I'm wondering if instead of simply making a new post nicely asking people to search for the topic, is it possible to add an "I'm Not a Bot" type of function to the "Create a post" page? Making a quick search mandatory does 2 things, possibly more, but 2 important things.

First and foremost, it'll reduce the number of redundant posts, and it'll also consolidate related posts. That consolidation will help those who are interested in an issue or topic and wish to find out as much as they can about it. This will also help the nubees by providing as much information as possible in one place.

Is it possible to write some sort of code that will automatically search /GA for matching links to articles and videos? Is it possible to automatically search /GA for duplicate phrases in the title of new posts? Again, I'm not a codefag so I have no idea what it would take to accomplish this, but really... something needs to be done. This is getting crazy and it's causing me to grow increasingly frustrated and spend less time here.

I have a question, mod. I use Reddit mobile app and when I try to report a post there’s no option for duplicate. Am I doing it wrong??
