Yes, I just saw three unpublished reviews of the same club by the same person -- two were identical and one was only slightly edited. I rejected two and considered rejecting the third (out of annoyance), but I didn't. Obviously, duplicates are getting through and being published. Kind of sucks if someone is getting double VIP credit for no additional work and no value added to the site...
What do you mean? Duplicate reviews as in one after the other because the author hit submit too many times? This has been happening for a while and across the site double posting has gone up. There is some lag now since founder has been making changes.
Or do you mean the review was rejected, and the author re-submitted the same garbage again later?
I see what you mean. We need to make our own guidelines for this kind of stuff. Founder even has a "duplicate" box to reject the double posts. But we need everyone on the same page. Either people are publishing different versions of the review, and they all get through anyway. Or people are publishing one and not rejecting the duplicates(leaving the duplicates to get published by others).
What i do is(if the review is up to standard) approve the first review(top to bottom) and reject the duplicates.
I thought I noticed a duplicate review being posted. I read through it and thought to myself that I've read that review before but a long time ago. I didn't bother doing any research though.
I think its just going to be something we have to deal with. Sure they dont get the extra vip but it is a minor annoyance and i ocd about this kinda shit. Lol. But we dont have enough communication on what to do with them.

Keep in mind you can only get one month VIP per club once a month. So even though they have duplicate subsubmission approved, they only get one month.
