There needs to be a better way for users who have questions marked as duplicate to contest the designation.

As of right now, there is no formal mechanism in the system for a user to be able to provide evidence that there question is not duplicated. The only option is to post a complaint on a per incident basis within meta super user. This is not efficient, and certainly not effective.

Here is a link to a clear example of the issue.

Question incorrectly marked as duplicate.

Only one piece of evidence is necessary. The duplicate refers to Win 7, the question refers to Win 8.1.

Do we not need a facility to formalize the process of an OP proving a question is not a duplicate?

As someone who fancies themselves being knowledgeable enough to declare a question as duplicate, if I need to explain to you why that is not a duplicate..... well your not worth my time.

The funny thing is how many people jumped onto the duplicate bandwagon...
