    Dude, it’s the same fucking story. And because it’s different URLs, they don’t even collapse into a single feed entry on piefed.

    For the sake of everyone who isn’t already blocking you for spam, be more considerate. Literally no-one wants to read the same story on CNN, ibtimes and businessinsider. You yourself know that you’re not posting it 6 times because it’s important to get those different versions of the same thing; you’re doing it because you want to maximise the chance of someone seeing something you want them to see, without playing by the normal rules of voting.

    When I see this, I downvote them all, and then block the spammer.

      Sounds like a piefed problem to me

      Have you considered the possibility that the fact that all of these news sources are reporting the same thing is important in itself?

      without playing by the normal rules of voting.

      You’ll be missed, I’m sure
