I don't see why this has been posted "three" times before

Posts that are over a year old can be reposted. It's a way to get a fresh perspective on ideas.

Maybe an URL checker would implicitly discourage reposts by warning about them.

If the URL checker were to present itself as a helpful aid for reposts ("You might want to use this title like the other 3 posters have used: X") it might avoid that result.
