Why are articles being repeated over and over.

Why is every article now being repeated over and over?

Used to be moderators would "lock" threads that were repeats. "Search still works". Now NOTHING except repeat after repeat'

It is making FR unreadable.

“”Wouldn’t that be unproductive? That is counterintuitive for the place even being here isn’t it?””

Unproductive.... it wouldn’t be reality....lol. Truth is... this forum is much nicer and has much nicer posters than any leftist-run/ruined forum in the history of the internet. I was speaking in jest there.

I noticed there SOME repeats, but didn’t think it was that many. Now, I would say something about repeats, but it doesn’t really apply to FR. How about all the repeats & steady stream of idiotic commercials on TV? That’s really something to complain about, I think.

You are seeing replies to threads. I was too, until I signed out and signed back in and selected “forum”. Won’t hurt to try.

I guess as long as it’s posted 38+ minutes after the last one it’s okay?

I figured you were being sarcastic. But we wouldn’t want any mods to get any ideas would we? lol

I think there is a double tap issue sometimes...

Funny, sites like X don’t seem to have a need for moderators that want to censor anything they don’t like.

Because you’re living in an endless loop, you just don’t know it yet.

Normally a link is posted for each thread.

When a new thread is to be created by someone, the posting link history could be checked.

I have my setting at Everything(*) and I see A LOT of repeats between News/Activism, Bloggers and Chat - sometimes 3 or 4 of the same story from different sources. I have not found a way to filter results by more than 1 group unless I select Everything.

I think we’ve all been the victim of the Moderator’s semi-snarky “search still works” when, in fact, it doesn’t — at least not very well.

Maybe ask Jim to start a Department of Stopping, Ending, and Eliminating Redundancy Department and offer to be the Chief Overseer Manager.

Since the site is unreadable, I couldn’t read this.

Roger that. I’ve even been suspended for “search still works!”. Not lately though.
