- ColinWright 11y agoSo many submissions, so little discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10807836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10807836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10806201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10806201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10806154 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10806154 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10804856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10804856 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10801597 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10801597
- ck2 11y agoOh wow it is a dupe, sorry. Apparently HN is now allowing dupes within the same few days. I thought they relaxed dupes but not that much. Oh I see now, if there are no comments on a submission, they allow re-submission.
- ColinWright 11y agoIndeed. It seems that dupes are allowed after a few hours, provided the earlier submission didn't get any traction. If something is re-submitted then clearly people think it's relevant, so it's allowed a second chance. Or third. Or more. The question is this: What should be done other than just allowing re-submissions?
- ck2 11y agoYeah within 48 hours I feel like allowing dupes is silly, just allow them to become votes so the original gets some attention.
- dang 11y agoThe time window for that to work is far less than 48 hours—it's more like 1 hour. We're working on this; it's harder than it sounds, there isn't a trivial solution, and there are tradeoffs.
