Title: Duplicates
Post by: chrisbradshaw on April 30, 2012, 16:54
Has anyone else noticed a large number of duplicate images at MostPhotos?  It seems like an awful lot of contributors upload images twice by mistake. There are also a lot of photographers that upload the same image but with a minor change (a cloud in the sky, etc).  I found one image that had over a dozen variations to it. I emailed the admin to ask about these but haven't heard back.

sure it make sense that you report it but in the end I believe you are just wasting time, better to work on pictures :)

their upload system sometimes hiccups and it appears it failed and then images show up later, after filezilla has already re-uploaded them.  plus, there's no way to sort images, so it's hard to see if there are duplicates
