Does anyone observes that some topics here are the same? Its really a fact that we cannot stop this, but I hope I can share you a little tips when making some topics espcially to the new members here so listen up. before you start a discussion, try to search first if your discussion has the same topic. use the search bar, example you want to make a discussion about, "What do you want, coffe or tea?" if you think that this topic is already discussed, try to make another one that has a different concept, I am not against with topics that are always being repeated, what I am tired of is some of the members that are already complaining, so I am also concerned with them, thanks and that it! ;p

ohh thanks for that. i get what you mean :)
though its really tough to search if a topic is made or not, just opt thinking if that topic you wanna start is common or not. from there atleast we can figure out if its a brand new topic or just a repetition. and avoid such.
but for others, they really intend to repeat, spceially if the topic starter didnt gave zest to the topic. for that reason, i dont mind them repeating.

Yes topic repeats is almost unavoidable any more, we are running out of unique ideas that will be interesting, yet not get you rated poorly for starting it. I do think it is a wonderful idea to search your topic first to see if it has been posted already and if so, try to put a different spin on it.

Yes, I have seen that the same topic is repeated most of the times. to search and look up for previous discussions should be done to avoid the topic repetition, whenever I try to start a topic i search for it and if it is there already, what i do is, I just respond to that topic and forget about starting new one. You have figured out good tips, so that same topics should not be repeated.

Nice try bro, but you know these people what in their mind is to add up their points, it only come after that our concern is in the topic, but as for me, and for the time being my excitement is how my points will add up, though im just three days old member of mylot. But your right, as i observed there are alot of repetitive discussion, but thats how thread is goin, we cannot control that, Maybe we can avoid it our ends.

As on now there is provision to check up the duplication. I think MyLot should provide a search section for checking duplication before posting a discussion. Since they have changed the appearance of their site nicely later we can expect the provision of search also.
