| Apr 14, 2013 at 2:30 | comment | added | Joanne C Mod | Well, to be fair, we're not likely to give _any_ room to duplication, so we may swing to the extreme on the other direction. At any rate, this has been one of the more valuable discussions on Meta that I've seen, so I'm quite happy. | |
| Apr 14, 2013 at 2:22 | comment | added | mattdm | Also, I think that the quotes on one side of what Jeff Atwood is saying in your post above totally remove what he's saying from the context. He also says "Let me be clear — too much question duplication is bad. Absolutely. You’ll get no argument whatsoever from me on that." | |

| Apr 12, 2013 at 8:50 | comment | added | MikeW | To be fair, that question is really two questions. The second part is how to make your own grey card (in PS) and the linked question is on that exact topic. Chills is a mod, so he maybe didn't want to close as duplicate, but just point out that it's partially covered. I don't know if he's literally typed that comment in, or flagged it, still not entirely sure how that all works. | |
| Apr 12, 2013 at 6:58 | comment | added | Esa Paulasto | Just an example (which you wanted to avoid) of someone's hurry to make the first comment starting with words "possible duplicate". Question about 18% grey and I think the "possible duplicate" is not even near the other one. (Ok, the 18% grey is mentioned..) Why is it so important to get first comment out with words "possible duplicate"? No reputation granted for those comments, so why the rush? | |

| Apr 10, 2013 at 11:46 | comment | added | MikeW | Aha. That may explain a lot then. It seems a lot come up for close votes that don't seem necessary. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 11:32 | comment | added | mattdm | One thing I've noticed: the close votes review system seems to include questions where there isn't an actual vote to mark as duplicate, just another question mentioned in a comment. This can have the effect of escalating comments like "This other question has some related info..." into close votes. Presumably this is by design. | |

| Apr 9, 2013 at 23:44 | comment | added | Esa Paulasto | I found PhotoSE less than six weeks ago, so a very new user. Even so, I've noticed it too. The first comment to a new question is so very often starting with words "possible duplicate.." and of course the link that follows is often helpful, but the closing of the said question as duplicate often is not so helpful. | |
| Apr 9, 2013 at 22:55 | comment | added | Joanne C Mod | We do have a tendency to shut down on "similar" here, but I think you're making a good case that we should ease up on that a bit. | |
