Hey look, another new LittleBigPlanet entry http://vgcollect.com/item/77490

That game sure gets duplicated often. I know there have been discussions about trying to reduce duplicates but maybe also come up with a better way of reporting them? In under two weeks there are already nearly three pages of dupes. Perhaps something like a button on each game page, similar to the edit button or maybe under the edit button you can check a box to label the game as a duplicate allowing a moderator to just pull up a list of all games marked as a duplicate. Or a button that sends an email (probably get a crazy amount of email). I don't know, but you're fortunate a lot of people take the time to report the duplicates on the forums

One thing I suggested a while back was to have the Alt. name included in search. Then we can put alternate spellings in there.

That would solve alot. Im a admin on another site, and we can do that as a admin. Regular users cant do that.

Finding games based on alt-spellings would also help for all the problems some people face when looking for games with punctuation in the titles

If we can't fix the search than that would be a decent work around.

The main issue is the only admin that can code currently is Matt. Until Matt has more free time improving the search and creating a duplicate report system is not possible.

We do greatly appreciate the members that take the time to notify us about duplicates to keep the database clean. Hopefully a better system will be implemented in the near future, but until then the current method will have to suffice.

Sorry if I sidetracked the thread a bit. Here is the latest duplicate:

NHL 15 for Xbox One: http://vgcollect.com/item/77579
The original entry is quite weak though: http://vgcollect.com/item/71066

Neither one has a UPC, I'd submit an edit but I don't know which ID number stays when you combine them, the best or the original. So here is the UPC if you want to drop it in when you combine them: 014633367591. Also, publisher is EA Sports and developer is EA Canada.
