Are there any checks to posting duplicate threads here?
Maybe I should be asking the moderators but it seemed like duplicate threads used to be combined here.

An example is the "Military Expected to Report Marines Killed Iraqi Citizens" posted twice here tonight within a very short time period.

1. that rule usually only applies in LBN
In the other forums, it's our responsibility to check first and make sure it's not already posted.

3. No. Generally, dupes in the General Discussion forum are OK,
unless they are spam posts or we have a "hot topic" that floods the forum with new threads about the same thing. Spam is deleted and we deal with the rest on a case by case basis.
