Many times I have seen answers that are exact copies of other answers to the same question, with minor changes like different variable names. This does not add any value to anything; just extra load on the servers. Could we have a way to identify them as such so they can be dealt with?

    Downvote (and preferably, leave a comment explaining why). Answers like this are noise, you're right. The downvote tooltip says "it is unclear or not useful" - such answers are not useful.
