    Yup, so maybe they shouldn't post it the same ad repeatedly. :-)

    Well that's sort of what people do in bbs ad msg subs.

    I can understand that doing it every day is pretty annoying and people shouldn't do THAT, but once a week or once a month is usually tollerated.

    I currently have two that I alternate between each week, plus a seasonal one for both Halloween and Christmas. This way I'm never posting the same thing
    each week, and I should add a couple more in 2025 to keep things fresh.

    I can see the duplication filter being helpful for dealing with daily, repetitive posts which would otherwise be drowning out unique weekly ones. :D

    well it's all the same to me. it's a bbs ad. i think they have a better chance being visited if it shows up each time.

    that being said, i have seen some sysops who do ads every day and would not switch it to weekly or monthly.
