So are those the rules now? If we consider some thing to be worthy we can post it again and again and again?

  Down votes? Anyone care to elaborate? Seriously, I don't understand. If I find an article that I find interesting I can just post it multiple times under different URL's? Is that now acceptable on HN?

    The official stance seems to be: [0] > Are reposts ok? > If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok. It was posted 3 months ago with 31 comments though so looks like that doesn't apply. It's possible that mods didn't see the post (due to the different URL) or that the rules have been relaxed. As for the downvotes, people in general don't like remarks about reposts because they're off topic and always come off as complaining. It's more likely that most users are seeing something for the first time or if they have already seen it, might not make mind because they like the content.
