Duplicates

posted by Stingray 1 decade 3 years 7 months ago • 644 views
As mentioned in a recent sift talk post (http://videosift.com/talk/Tags-Titles-and-Dupes-the-System-Don-t-Work), there seems to be a plethora of dupes being posted and the system not adequately screening out these dupes.

Now I'm all for inflating my Super Duper award status (currently level 16), but seeing as how I'm duping videos that are not only named and tagged similarly, but they are literally the same embed, there appears to be an issue with the general stop checks originally put in place.

There also appears to be an issue when someone submits a video and it gets posted twice. I've seen at least three of these in the past two weeks, but never seen them previously.

Thanks for listening...

Hmm, that's not good - nor supposed to happen, we should be blocking embeds that are truly identical. What happens though is that YouTube changes their parameters and it messes up the regular expressions that determine uniqueness. Time for the @lucky760 signal.
