Has anyone had their submission automatically re-posted?
My most upvoted submission was posted on a weekday night - the timestamp changed in the morning then it got several hundred upvotes.
- minimaxir 11y agoThat is the second chance pool.
- jsnell 11y agoYes, that is the moderators manually resurfacing good content that got no attention the first time. See for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8313525 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8313525
- dang 11y agoYes. For more info, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10705926 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10705926 and the other links there.
- jsnell 11y agoThanks, that's a better source than any I'd seen before. Have you thought about mentioning this in the FAQ? It seems to come up pretty often, and can be kind of confusing due to the timestamp manipulation.
- dang 11y agoWe will eventually, but the experiments haven't stabilized yet. There are still one or two major ideas we have yet to try.
- tromp 11y agoThat happened to my post on the number of Go positions https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10950875 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10950875 Same pattern; I posted late at night and late in the morning the submission time was reset.
