If you get a correct duplicate notice, that’s good news: you’re getting an answer. If you get an incorrect one, that’s a problem, but it’s unrelated to voting. In Rating and moderating questions and askers we discussed rating “usefulness” and “skillfulness” separately. I think that usefulness should be shown (it’s a tool for readers to find the most useful questions) and should be unbounded, but skilfullness should not be shown at all and should be sublinear and bounded (so if you receive 10 negative feedback “points” on the same question, it only has a little more impact than if you receive a single one).
