Same story submitted three times. Isn't there a mechanism to prevent something like that from happening?

Some of us haven't seen the story yet. I'm guessing those who upvote the story are part of that group. Maybe a better mechanism would be a feature that doesn't show you stories (grouped by URL) that you've already interacted with?
