I think I mentally crossed wires with Reddit. Is it OK to regularly submit twice in two days? I see that pattern with OP.

  I think we invited eatonphil to repost a couple of stories. Reposts aren't necessarily a problem if the story hasn't had attention yet. On HN we want to optimize for curiosity, which means getting the best candidate stories in front of the community. Since /newest by itself does a poor job of that, we've been experimenting with other approaches.

    Wouldn't easier to give yourself a super-vote of some kind? It'd reduce thinly-veiled grumbling from jealous folks like yours truly.

      Devices like that and/or rolling back the time decay on a post only work while the post is relatively new. Once it's past a few hours old, it looks weird to have it on the front page with only a few points.
