repost prevention - not my idea!

Recommended Posts

I got this from idea-a-day.com and wondered what people thought of this:
Quote


Add a search function to the 'post new thread' function on internet forums, using the subject as key words. If the search function finds a very similar post, it warns the user, helping them not repost the same old debates.


I'm guessing it's quite server intensive so would get a thumbs down from HH, it would also put the repost police out of business so may not be popular with the general public either!

Well, going by that idea, I think people would get annoyed by the warnings for trying to post a thread with a word or two that has been used many times, but the story is original.

Like say... "Asshole!" in the thread title, for example. ;)
