I have seen the same or similar articles posted by multiple people on this site. And I have never seen the comments on these same articles halted.

I understand and you're right. Some duplicate postings are caught by the moderators and some are not. The time span between the first posting and the duplicate 'might' play into moderating decisions. This is just a guess on my part - I am not now, nor have I ever been a moderator.

Many times I think the first poster notices the duplicate and subsequently informs the moderator. It's beneficial to only have one posting of an article, so that all comments are preserved on one thread.
