It's easy to inadvertantly submit duplicate POST requests in quick succession #29

A user can accidentally click the "submit" button in some forms more than once in rapid succession, leading to duplicate enteries.

The system should have a means of de-dupulicating these. Or preventing this from happening in the first place.

in PHP there are functions for removing duplicate entries in an array. This seems to be an equivalent in Python: [(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479897/how-to-remove-duplicates-from-python-list-and-keep-order)]

Yeah, a regex search of the database might be a better answer than trying to "debounce" user input. Users might be unaware a game exists in the database, so a "did you mean" screen if a similar title exists in the database might be worthwhile.
