Duplicate topics have become real prominent lately. Most of us know they're caused by clicking the Save button multiple times when submitting a topic... is there some way to change the functionality of the Save button or something else in the site's code to mitigate that?
Is there a way to prevent accidental duplicate topics?

Is it possible to make the Save button non-selectable (grey it out) once you've clicked it?

I just posted a topic and it gave me a CAPTCHA at the end. That's fine. I entered the CAPTCHA and tried to submit the topic. It came back with a different CAPTCHA. I must've entered it wrong. I entered the new CAPTCHA and that took. And then I find out that my topic was duplicated.
Is there any way that one could delete the duplicate topics themselves (like within 15 minutes of posting, after which, it becomes "permanent")?

i just created a topic by entering wrong first CAPTCHA and then right second CAPTCHA - the topic appeared once
Not that I'm aware of. It's an issue that I've always had with Drupal that I hope they've fixed in later versions. The best thing I can think of is to add a message to the post submission screen that says something like "Only press the Save button once!!!" I'm open to other suggestions.
