Comment (by fel64):

 This should almost always be caught by the post time throttle (30 seconds
 between posts is enforced).

 To additionally prevent this, some onclick javascript can disable the
 submitting button.

 If there is a larger interval than thirty seconds, the double posting is
 most likely intentional and a simple literal string comparison between the
 old and the new posts is probably ineffective (and preventing intentional
 double-posting may not be desired at all).

 In light of the throttle not necessarily being applied to every user, I
 don't want to mark this as invalid - but while the throttle is defaulted
 onto every user, it doesn't seem like a high priority.
