Don't be there, aloha.
One of the biggest issues I had with /. was the dupes. When there's new info available, resubmission is fine. But sometimes you'd get dupes weeks (or even days) later. The metamod process should have a #dupe tag (it did on /.) but that tag, when applied, should send a message to the editors, who should have the power to pull the story if it really is a recent dupe. You could even farm the job out to moderators.
Just my two cents.
