I've thought about this a while and dont think we can automatically filter out dupes. These are the ways I could do it and reasons why not to do it:
  • Keep 2 names from being the same on each map
    • if there are 'darkpaw gnolls' on opposite sides of the map, they couldnt both be submitted without a name change to one of them.
  • Dont let the same /loc be entered for two on one map.
    • Very unlikely 2 people will get the same loc in the first place, I could do a proximity check but that might lead to problems with like a group of NPCs huddled together.
All in all. Theres no feasible way to do it that I can find. We'll just have to keep encouraging people to mark them as bad. One automatic way of doing this is as soon as they mark them as bad, they arent in their game anymore, nor anyone elses.
