# User prespective- From the perspective of a user, my minimum requirement would be that every version of the question should include links to all other versions of the same post. In particular also the existing post should be edited/commented on to include links to new versions.
- this will ensure that future users with the same problem don't get stuck in dead end. If they don't find a solution here, they can at least move on to check the other versions of the post- it avoids users to spend time and effort on developing a solution to a problem which might already have been solved. A user can of course make the deliberate decision to answer an already solved problem, e.g. with a different approach, but they need to know about about existing answers to make this deliberate descension.- # Site perspective
Verbatim cross-posts don't seem to be advantageous of the search engine optimisation of a small site like Codidact - in particular if they are the majority of posts.- On this basis, I would ban verbatim (or near verbatim) cross-posts for now. If the activity of the site grows, one could revisit this policy.
