Or how about the submission process checks and reports whether links have been previously submitted.
- laumars 11y agoHN does perform duplicate URI checks, where duplicated submissions count as an upvote towards the original submission rather than a new thread. However HN also allows re-submissions after a certain time period has passed, which I think is what happened here since the next newest instance I can find is ~4 months old.
- detaro 11y agoI think the time limit is longer, but the exact same URL has been posted last a year ago, the submissions inbetween weren't recognized as dupes because they have different URLs.
