Sorry I know that doesn’t solve the duplicate scenario, which I myself am guilty of but am going to rectify by marking my adaptations unless they have significant changes as private. They will also be taking up resources on the database.

ive accidently tried to post the same post twice here in the forum and a message comes up saying " this post is to similar to my previous post " and it doesnt allow it so @daath is this a possibility to add in the recipes section ???

Maybe adding a category for Finished or Finalized recipes in the public area would be easier. Or maybe Verified as an option when it reaches a certain number of 5 stars and reviews? I know how much a pita building a website is and trying to add in new features. Just thinking of some other sort method that might cut down on duplicate or poor quality mixes being top of a search list.

Sorry, what would you like added? 
The “repeat” thingy above? I have something similar in mind!
At some point I will add a feature that prevents dupes to be shown if there already is a recipe with the exact same flavors and % - they’ll be private (or at least be marked as a duplicate of an older recipe - not exactly sure yet).

I have thought about this a bit and the only solution I see that I feel would actually be effective would be that adapted recipes can never be made public with only one exception and that being the original recipe creator having that ability. I know we all adapt our own recipes for ease of creating another. As far as others if they make changes to a recipe that they feel they would like to share then they would have to enter the recipe manually. I feel this would cut down on the make it public for grins crowd. I believe the people who love to share and have changed a recipe enough to want to post will do so even if manually. Hope so anyway. Perhaps @daath has something better in mind. Only he knows the lengths he’s willing to go should he choose to try to search out dups and the effect on the system…

Simply group them together… 
The notes people leave on their recipes can be very valuable
Since @daath has closed the thread about removing duplicates (Project hide duplicate and single flavor recipes is done) I’ll just post it here. Some people really keep purposefully driving other people insane!
You can still make duplicate recipes by changing a flavor with a bad version of the original.
Original recipe:

Look at what he did with strawberry ripe…

Yeah that’s pretty annoying. And dropping the ‘by’ from the title. There will always be rats!!

Once that improperly listed flavor is merged i assume it will become a duplicate mix tho

but if you are in the habit of watching for examples perhaps you could kindly provide informative links about proper syntax and duplicates in their comments.

I’m not really in the habbit of it… was just looking for the original recipe I made to leave a rating/comment and then I stumbled on it.

It’ll be merged, and presumably lost…

This is a typographical error that erks but… this community is great, this website is great, easily my #1/#2 most visits per month website, besides google or reddit haha 
No longer visible. It was either deleted or marked private.

Like TZ noted, it’s already happened. Either he took it private or he took my advice to fix his flavours to get the most out of ELR and it was forced private.
Makes me wonder how many more of these there are. My guess is quite a few but I’m not actively going to look for them, that’d be an insane job to do manually
