There were also 2 more below that.

And this must be a bot, endless posts by this user, every time the same content on multiple communities.

    There is discussion on going at [email protected] currently about new rules. Users posting the same story from the same source will be blocked by an automod. I asked about users posting the same story from different sources, and apparently that’s absolutely fine. So expect this problem to get a lot worse before steps have to be taken to make it better :/

      The issue is that this sort of rule only works against duplicates inside a community; it does nothing against duplicates across communities, that users may or may not be subscribed to. As such I think that the solution should be on the interface level.

      On another, related matter: you replied twice. I think that the server itself should prevent it, as 99% of the time it’s by accident.
