New ads are checked a minimum of once each business day (the weekend's ads are checked on Mondays). Ads are allowed to be duplicate as long as they are in different applicable categories or counties. Such ads only _appear_ to be duplicates on the "newest ads" page. Excessive duplicates (more than three or four even if all counties and categories are applicable, at the webmaster and site administrators' discretion) are removed once a business day, as are all true duplicates (for instance where the person placing the ad hit the submit button twice). We simply do not have the resources to monitor the classifieds twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
