The only one I kind of am odds with is Dont Dupe... I dupe, but dont MEAN to dupe. Often the sotry with a diffrent URL is already in Netscape, but the tag system is not used properly and finding it is fairly hard. I do like how Netscape does put similiar article on the bottom of the submit page, it seems to search the article rather then tags, but I am still guilty.

Another good thig would be to report Dupes, or better, link your URL to that Story. When a Story first breaks, its often small and short on Facts, instead of adding another story, add it to the original.

@Webreader, sorry for the confusion. In this context, 'dupe' is short for 'duplicate'. It is commonly used jargon on sites like Netscape.

@rrrtx: I would suggest not questioning it in a comment thread where it may be off-topic. However, I have found it informative from time to time to write to the site's support staff to inquire about it. They wont give away the steak, but sometimes they give you a taste of the sizzle :)

That's a fair point, rrrtx. You should ask support@ about that.

Sorry rrrtx, I don't know how the promotion algorithm works here. As far as I know, stories get pushed to the front page when they get enough votes.

There, I went and broke one of the "don'ts" :)
