Unique URL in messages

mikeg2k

I have a channel that's used for news about a topic.
Lots of users post URLs based on that topic.

However sometimes two or more users post the same URL.
I want a way to setup the channel so that every URL in the channel must be unique.

No two posts can contain the same URL.

Please add this feature as a filter that mods can apply to a channel.

    The API functionality could work like this.

    User Posts a Channel.
    The Post contains a URL.
    That URL string is copied, then using the UNIQUE keyword in SQL, the string is compared with all stored URL strings for that channel.

    If it's unique, the user's post is allowed.
    Otherwise the user receives a message that a duplicate post already exists.
