It is better to implement 5 - 10 minutes delay between multiple data entries than deleting the duplicate entries. The duplicate entries are creating "holes" in the database.

That would be rather tricky. It would require both a
session number and a timestamp.

That's not really a concern. There's going to continue
to be plenty of dups from people not checking ahead of
time. The concern is unnecessary work by the editors to
remove entries from people who didn't meant to do it.
