Avoid duplicate ideas
Updated on 09.07.2026
So the same idea doesn't come up multiple times, the platform points out similar, already-existing ideas as you type the title. That way you can pool your votes — and moderators can merge real duplicates.
Watch the suggestions when submitting#
As soon as you enter the title on the „Submit idea“ page, the platform automatically searches for similar ideas and shows them to you. Take a look before you submit.
Vote instead of duplicating#
If your idea already exists, open it and vote for it or add a comment. That gives the existing idea more weight instead of splitting the votes across several proposals.
Merge duplicates (as a moderator)#
If the same idea does end up in the system multiple times, you can mark a proposal as „Duplicate of …“. The proposal then points to the original, so discussion and attention stay pooled there.
FAQ#
Why do I see other ideas as I type?
That's the duplicate detection: it searches for similar, already-existing ideas so you can review them before creating a new one.
Is my idea marked as a duplicate automatically?
No. The suggestions are just a hint — you decide whether to submit your idea anyway. Only moderation can mark it as a duplicate, by hand.
What happens to an idea marked as a duplicate?
It's kept but points to the original. That way votes and discussion stay pooled in one place.
