I can't find the old thread but thought I would start a new one for this. I noticed Yellow Submarine was recently added to the database for a second time. I went ahead and approved the pending changes on its description but there is really no reason for it to be up twice. There is a slight difference on the file name but this is exactly the same map.
If you find other duplicate maps this might be a good thread to mention them in. I guess all that could be done is to disable the most recent addition of maps that are the same so it is still in the database even though people can't see it. This will prevent at least the same named map from being uploaded again and not confuse people with multiple name variations of the exact same map.
Yea, unfortunately some people make maps and then make another version the next day, and then two the next day. That's the problem with those. At least their organized in a project though.
A good rule of thumb is to search for it before you post it since when the _ and spaces are different we get two versions. Ah well no biggie, just vote on the other one too and put your comment there. Maybe dcramer will get to this eventually.
BWMG, Does the admin know about this? Seems like it can be taken care of if DC does some sort of coding in the future that shows similar maps names to the one the up loader is posting so that he can see if it's been uploaded already. Not cool to make you do all the work lul.
He knows, he is just busy and has a long list of things to work on. I am just compiling it all in a thread so when he gets a chance the situation can be quickly fixed. He has fixed similar issues before.
Found a map that is on the site five times, btw any chance we can start fixing links soon? This list is getting a bit long. I suggest you keep the first link on this list.

Ah, this specific case was my fault. I thought for sure this site wouldn't have Yellow Submarine, as it is quite an obscure, and old map.
There're all those Zombie RPGs that kept appearing in every category. They seem to all be slightly different (versions?). But it is rather annoying.

This map is on Nibbits four times, very unfortunate considering it is pretty shitty. Maybe we can get the 3 lowest ranked version of it off?

This map is on Nibbits two times:

This map is now on nibbits twice, please remove the 2nd entry as the first one is well rated and has a lot of comments.

Is a duplicate of Mephisto's new movie map, he wants it deleted as it's a buggy version and he has uploaded the other one above it.
Someone apparently decided to upload their map twice so it was on multiple pages...
Most recently here:
http://www.nibbits.com/sc/maps/view/130944/
And also here:
http://www.nibbits.com/sc/maps/view/130923/
Delete the least recent one I guess, I checked both maps would appear to be identical.
Some more duplicates....yea....duplicates! *Sarcasm*

I would guess remove the 2nd one and keep the most recently posted one.
Yeah I thought I deleted it in my admin control panel but idk.
delete this one http://www.nibbits.com/sc/maps/view/131254/
nvm delete both they're both bugged
I guess we just pick one of each of these three to re-direct the others too--or remove them.

I suggest keeping the first link in both cases as the only one.
-=Ultimate BGH=-.scm -- suggested you keep the first link and have the others link to it.

Wish I could find them all at once to avoid double posting :-/.
This time it's the same map but with different files names. Keep the correctly named one and delete/redirect the "smurf" one that is identical.
