34 sats \ 3 replies \ @DarthCoin 10 Mar 2023 \ on: SN Feature Proposal: Enforce Link Post Uniqueness (timeboxed) meta
Yes, dupes are very annoying and many posters here just drop them, ignoring if there are already posted, just for the sake of stealing others sats.
Also many ignore that can FW the sats to OP when they post somebody else content and they have an account on SN. That is totally NOT fair.
Also posting links with sharing / tracking codes is really annoying. Guys, NEVER post a link that contain any code after /? or =. That is tracking code. I know that some will really want to have some SEO results, but, I personally, prefer to remove all the codes after /? and browse the clean link.
Perhaps SN could do some basic auto cleaning on the url. The most obvious ex: Utm_source etc. @k00b

Happy to merge such a PR. We strip them on twitter links already but some websites use GET parameters for more than just tracking ... so stripping them all doesn't make sense.
