When you go to flag a post as a duplicate it should show the "Related Questions" list that a poster gets after he has entered a title. What I'm thinking is there is something on top of that list that is an exact duplicate, but the OP didn't see it.

1I agree with the sentiment, but I'm not convinced that the actual duplicate shows up in the "related questions" list often enough to make this worthwhile. I generally find duplicate questions by using Google, not the Related Questions dialog.– user102937Commented Apr 17, 2011 at 18:29

@Robert Harvey♦ There should be something better than just a blank textbox.– RookCommented Apr 17, 2011 at 19:08

Flag for dupe? Flag? You shouldn't be mod-flagging dupes. You should stop worrying and love dupes. Unless it is a 100% exact dupe, of course; they usually need special attention. I'm sure you meant "Closing as duplicates, with suggestions." Right?– user1228Commented Apr 18, 2011 at 11:57

@Will♦ yeah but posts are still going to be flagged as dupes, you should make the system more clean and easier to use.– RookCommented Apr 18, 2011 at 17:16
