Perhaps /. needs to implement a "DUPE" link that's accessible to subscribers. Have it function like Digg, totaling the number of DUPE clicks each article receives.
Then, allow subscribers to set a DUPE filter limit. Anything over that limit is not displayed on the page.
(Also, I've always wanted to use this in a post.)
