Can RP place a filter so that people can't keep posting the same information?

This is more of an admin question for RP. Can we make it so that different people can't post the same articles? I feel like this site is really more about who can be on top of the score board, and thus people post just for the sake of posting. I've seen the same photo or post at least 5 times back to back. It's a bit irritating, and makes me not want to be a member of this community.

SN Alex Tufail - RP does it best to try and ensure that repeated information is merged into on post and posts that don't conform to our standards are removed. As one of the senior level user admins, I personally work hard at doing this but as I'm sure you can picture it isn't always the easiest. One thing I would recommend is that if you see a repeating topic, feel free to tag one of the user admins (we have little stars by our pictures). You can tag me by typing "@benkeen" and a drop down should appear where you can select me. I'll then receive the notification and take the necessary actions.
There are some updates in the works that will make this a lot easier but until those updates are in place, this is the best advice I can give you.

We're trying to stay on top of that, but keep in mind that you're really addressing two issues. One issue involves people posting a specific article; a separate issue involves people posing the same question for discussion. If the same article is used to pose unique questions to the board, we'll leave them on the boards. If not, we'll merge them into one discussion (the first one posted). So, the big issue is whether or not the additional posts add something unique. If you see it happening, let one of the member administrators know and we'll assess it.

I'll add to what SGT Ben Keen and LTC Kevin B. stated. Please let an admin know what articles you feel are being replicated by supplying the links to both if you can. It just makes the job a little easier for everyone.
