| Jun 8, 2021 at 13:57 | comment | added | zcoop98 | This answer starts out really promising: "The SE Network was not designed for duplicate questions across sites" sounds like the key; but then it never explains what that statement is actually supposed to mean! Does Stack have a software limitation that prevents exact dupes? Is the "knowledge repository" of all Stacks supposed to be combined? If that's the case, why do we have overlapping site scopes? This answer does little more than state what is, just like the answers it faults in its opening line. Disappointed, adds little to the conversation. | |

Then it comes an argument - almost litany - with little orientation towards being useful. This looks to me, in short, as "The essence of two questions posted in different SE sites can be exactly the same, but they have to be differently worded to be admissible". That, for me, is like encouraging make-up on the wording so they do not look awkward... appearances above meaning. For me, this should be frowned upon. | |

| Feb 20, 2016 at 5:27 | comment | added | DocSalvager | FINALLY! An answer that makes sense. (Okay, I'm a bit slow to find this.) SE should be thought of as a "team" of distributed sites where a submission to one is really, eventually, a submission to all. As a former DBA, I get it now. Wish this answer got more love. I think it would greatly reduce the amount of cross-posting by folks (like me) that don't understand why it is both unnecessary and disruptive to maintaining a high quality database of information. Thank You @CuriousProgrammer ! | |
