Referencing past discussions is useful, though. That’s where I would see the niche for this bot.


The difference between something like DupDetector and someone like MrOhHai on Reddit is that DupDetector was polite and was more like "here's the earlier discussion" as opposed to "you should not have posted this".


It’s still an understandably sensitive topic, hence my recommendation to make DupDetector much more polite and friendly so that there can be no misunderstanding about the intent of the bot.


That's an excellent idea.
