Focused my feature request on using the existing heuristics for low-quality questions

Duplicate titles don't necessarily have to match character-for-character
|
| Sep 2, 2011 at 19:51 | comment | added | Frédéric Hamidi | @Won't, I did read that comment and you're right, but I was under the impression Chris's feature request was about improving question titles, not deconsiderating users (they already are in the current system, I mean, we all know them for what they are when we see them). Also, the heuristics having to take extra spaces into account is the start of the arms race I was referring to ;) | |
| Sep 2, 2011 at 19:44 | comment | added | user1228 | @gnat: Where is that question? I need to close it as "not constructive." | |
| Sep 2, 2011 at 19:43 | comment | added | user1228 | @FrédéricHamidi: As I said before, "Users who do circumvent by this method are, therefore, less deserving of consideration when their titles stink. They have been notified of their failure, and yet they seek ways to continue to fail." Also, if something as simple as a space could defeat the heuristic used to determine duplicate titles, I'd suggest JA rethink his development hires (not that they'd be so naiive, of course). | |
| Sep 2, 2011 at 19:16 | comment | added | gnat | I would be careful about title-dupe detection that doesn't take into account tags. "Where to learn about WMA features?" tagged with format would not mean the same as tagged with java-me | |

Clarified that this request is for unique titles to be enforced, but I'm not stating precisely how
|
| Sep 2, 2011 at 19:01 | comment | added | Frédéric Hamidi | @Won't, well, I might be a little jaded lately because I use the 10k moderation tools more, but I do think the first reaction of most of the users who post that kind of question will be: Duplicate title? Sure, let me add a space there. Also, to them, further error popups (because someone else had the same idea) might be more frustrating than teaching. All in all, my pessimistic estimate would be nearer to a 25% decrease rather than your 75% :) | |
| Sep 2, 2011 at 18:52 | comment | added | user1228 | Better 2,456 duplicates than 10k. | |

Responded to a comment about how this could result in an arms race

| Sep 2, 2011 at 18:38 | comment | added | Frédéric Hamidi | I have a hunch that if we do that, people will find ways to circumvent it (changing case or punctuation, adding random spam), and we'll end up stuck in an arms race. | |
