Redundant questions

Can anyone come up with an idea how to solve the problem with redundant questions? There is for instance a question "How will Yedda make money?" and a question "How yedda make money?" and someone might ask tomorrow "What is Yedda's revenue model". Maybe something like "merging redundant questions"?

My Suggestion: redirect links from the redundant questions to the main question, like they do in Wikipedia, for instance. Possibly one has to have special privileges in order to block a thread and create a redirect.

This is already available: a question tagged with "money" and "yedda" would show all other questions with the same tags. I am asking about a more straightforward approach which would eliminate redundancy rather than make it less problematic (as redirecting does). Thanks for your feedback anyway.

We're working on a change that will allow askers to find similar questions which were already answered earlier in the process, before they actually post their question. Is this what you meant?

Yes, this is what I mean :) There is only one thing I am afraid of - what if some users ignore the systems' suggestions and still post their redundant questions?

I think Digg.com has a pretty straightforward way to deal with this. If you try to post a new entry, digg seems to check from

a) the content of the landing page

b) other similar descriptions on the digg site

c) the title of your posting

to determine, whether there is a similar posting already on the site. A similar approach could work for Yedda, too, I think.


Best, Bjoern

It is not very easy to solve questions like this, I mean , you need regular rules to limit the posters' actions. But how to scientificly perform this well? No body knows, maybe you can ask Digg to have some iedas, Who knows! Posts are just like raindrops so I think you have to find a good rainwear!

Yedda can do a search on all previous questions and then ask the user if they meant that question and point them to the answers.
