This is not a feature request!
... more a meditation. :) If we'd supply a unique id for each comment session, could this be used to reject or warn about accidental reposts? I.e. after clicking "comment" a hidden field would contain something composed from parent-node-id + user-id + timestamp + random number and passed thru the "preview" and "create" stages. After first posting this ID could be "disabled". Either by storing in the DB-table holding the final post or by caching it for x hours. A considerable part of NTCs deals with such accidental duplicates and even experienced monks regularly fall into the trap (especially when using mobile clients) Am I missing something? If this was already discussed before please point me to the discussion.
