Ask: Why not implement a "url database" with all the news?

I started checking periodically the news site since last week and noticed the avalanche of news; sadly, most of them are "repeated" news that sometimes displace the "old" ones and thus, making the current thread "useless".

Wouldn't it be better to have some URL database and whenever someone is "double posting" the same link just append that to the "old" thread?

Just an idea to keep this place a little bit more organized.

What do you think?
