We have to do something about duplications.

I spent an hour just on slaughtering 1000 themes. And by the end of it, I got so burnt out, that I started to don't care.

I just clicked by instinct, instead of thinking about them for a few seconds. Because even if something sounds bad, it could be a really productive theme....

By the end, If it sounded bad, I downvoted, if it didn't, I upvoted. There should be more thought behind voting.

My 3 suggestions:

  • Automatic filtering for duplications. If a suggestion is already in, delete it, or don't even let the user suggest it in the first place. (not case sensitive)

    • zero cost
  • Manual filtering for duplications. If a suggestion is 80% the same as one another, it should be flagged, and will be needed to be approved by some authority.

    • one hour for an authority member per jam
  • People should think before typing. If you think that someone may have already entered this suggestion, then DON'T SUGGEST IT. (I'm pointing at you, "Quarantine", "Virus", "Isolation" and "Covid" guys.)

    • 10 seconds for one user

Until something is changed, I won't participate in the theme slaughter, because my vote most likely won't make a difference.

1 vote in 2000+ doesn't really worth 6 hours of my life.

(The theme would suck anyway, as the old saying goes :smile: )

Cheers!
