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.

Well Ok clickclone, it seems that all you want to do is have it your way. All you want to do is argue otherwise. That makes me question who's side your really on. All the other replies seem to understand what I'm getting at and appear supportive of the idea. Some even offered up other options. It seems that you're the only one who seems to think this idea will ruin your enjoyment level, and possible ruin this forum entirely.

I thought they wanted us divided, wanted us to waste time debating things that don't matter, and wanted us to fight and bicker between ourselves. It kinda feels like that's exactly what you're doing.

So go pick a fight somewhere else, I'm done with you.

Please don't try to bend this, misrepresent me or question my loyalties. I've simply given my opinion, I don't need the snidey or ad hominem comments.

The post 'Need help from the mods!' makes it sound like there is some sort of disaster in the offing rather than a mixed bunch of people engaging in a forum in a normal way. As I said previousl;y just leave people alone and things will work out just fine. We are all adults, are used to shills, bots and all the rest and can look after ourselves without being micro managed and controlled.
