For the avoidance of doubt, duplicate topic posting is forbidden on Bestnaija. But in situation where everyone has the right to post a topic, even referenced (copied) topics from other websites like news, how do we guard against duplication (reposting what has been posted before)?
The first poster has authority on the subject. Subsequent posters have the role to ensure they are not committing the duplication crime which can lead to serious warnings and spam allegations.
HOW TO AVOID TOPIC DUPLICATION
STEP 1: Check home page topics first.
STEP 2: If not there, Check recent topics page too
STEP 3: Perform a search
STEP 4: You may however decide to skip steps 2 and 3 above and just... Post it and check the 2 similar topics under your new topic.
If it's there, then it exists. You may then edit the topic to something else. Or get it deleted. Note that the earned coins will be reversed upon deletion but will be unchanged if topic is edited to another useful stuff.
Good luck!
