Why did you post the same article twice, from two different sources?

[-] FiremanEdsRevenge@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Because OP is a troll and a spammy one at that. Yet mods refuse to do anything about this chucklefuck. From what I heard this an alt account from an already banned user and this stupid fuck likes to call himself the SOCIALIST BESERKER.

They probably are going to tell you that if you have any issues with the article to take it up with the publishers. They have limited responses does not engage in good faith and is posting almost 24 hours a day.

I’ve started reporting their posts for spamming/trolling. Not sure if it’ll do any good, but at least the mods might see our frustration. If the account engaged in good faith conversations it’d be a different story, I’ve really tried, but they’re clearly a troll.

You don't know who OP is? Prepare your downvoting finger.

If I have read both correctly, they are actually different articles - this one is about warning that the Economist polling model (has moved to favour a GOP presidency) and the other one is warning about the different polling model from The Hill (which has also moved to favour a GOP presidency).

I can see the benefit of posting all of them together at once though (hey ma, look at this! all the polling models I can find are starting to agree on the outcome!)

Posting the same story from 3 different sources shows a lack of judgement. The story is good, we don't need it 3 times.

Removing the duplicates, adding a temp ban for indiscriminately flooding the channel.

Doesn't even link anything but the title?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
