The second I post this it seems to be fixed (for now).

What the hell just happened? Did it fix itself because I complained?

I am confused.

“Why is every article now being repeated over and over?”

Mods will lock an article if reposted on the same day AND reported.

OK to repost on a later day.

“repeat “

How about you try posting some new stuff.
And see the kind of grief you get.
A lot of poison on FR these days.

You should thank the people who do post.

I understand your point but repetition is one of the original learning tools.

Did you get your abc’s and math tables in just one session?

Have you read your Bible more than once? Lot’s of interesting things show up on the follow up reads. For some reason, God repeats himself a lot....................

Articles on the same topic can be posted by multiple different need sources. Maybe some topics are popular.

BTW, did you hear about the illegal alien in Florida who killed three people in a minivan after making an illegal u-turn in a semi-tractor trailer?

Most of us do not monitor this site 24/7 for the news. An article will age out in a day.

You need to contact the Department of Redundancy Department.

*******

Tell the moderators and they may well block or remove it.

I may be wrong but I always believed it was posters who pointed out repeat articles to the moderators who then locked them. I suspect some of the old guard are no longer around to do this.

Even so, I don't see how repeated articles makes FR unreadable. I scroll post lots of articles I have no interest in. I don't see it as a big deal.
