Duplicated Posts

There seems to be an epidemic of duplicated posts around at the moment, in a number of sections. One has four threads running at once! Can't HQ sort this ongoing problem out, or at least try and merge the threads, or close duplicates down with an explanation? Even if the cause is beyond curing, it at least needs managing so that duplicates are not left to go on and on. Come on HQ, give FB a rest for a while, and show some dedication to this forum! A twice daily check would help!

It's the only way I know of that can prevent all the mix up of posts and how they appear. If I can get to a duplicate before anyone answers I can help but once replies are made it's a bit messy. Obviously I can't be on here all the time.

I only generally look at reviews when either I want to go to that site or something is raised on here that might arouse my interest. I don't have any jurisdiction over the review section and I think the problems there takes up a lot of Rowena's time.

I'm sure we all appreciate you're fighting a losing battle and banging your head against a brick wall, David.

Where are all the super staff mods? Has anybody spotted them being active in clearing the place up? Other than the odd sugary comment, I've not seen one actually do anything since the day they were introduced. Indeed, I've seen more than one staff mod post in a thread in the wrong section but not move that thread. What is the point of them?

The website is slow slow when posting, I'am sure a lot of the duplicate threads are down to clicking more than once. When posting the site doesn't respond and so you click reply again, and get 2 posts.😠

Likewise, I too appreciate your efforts DK, but sometimes it isn't until you have posted in a thread, that you realise that it is a duplicate, or a triplicate, and are left wondering what is going on.

Hence my suggestion of HQ monitoring the forum maybe a couple of times a day at present, as they seem to be the only ones with the magic buttons to oversee such problems. Surely someone from across on FB section could help out a bit more than usual on here until it is resolved. I also suspect that it relates mainly to folks using Apple devices, IPad, IPhone etc.... as there have been problems right from change over back in January. When I contacted Livechat about some help a while ago the best response was "don't you have a none Apple device?"undecided

I mentioned the quadruple Freshwater East post yesterday in the Snagging List thread.  But does HQ/HO ever look at that thread?  From the sound of it, CT is a poor relation and staff appear busier on FB.  (I don't "do" FB myself, but going off comments on CT, it seems staff are very active on FB).  There is a limit on what the mods can do in relation to multiple posts, as per the reply from David Klyne, both on here and in the Snagging List thread.  Must be quite frustrating for them too I'd imagine.  It's one thing moderating a forum, but it must be like banging your head against a brick wall when having to deal with a forum like this.

Apart from DK I haven't seen any other mod doing anything on CT for a very long time.

I think we're regarded as self moderating, all grown up now.....left to our own devices, repeating ourselves......wink

I'm glad that wasn't a duplicate post B2, the web site would soon be scuppered. laughing  At present I look in someone's profile if they have duplicated posts to find their original post and stick  to the first one.

Posted on 23/08/2017 22:44

I have a post, which from my profile goes to a thread where my post does not appear. My post is in a duplicate not even in the same grouping. Waste of time  and not fit for purpose springs to mind.
