@emidln U probably forgot that U had submitted the same article on HN ~6months ago... https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nordicfoodlab.org https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nordicfoodlab.org Thanks for sharing though, i had missed it the last time around. :) :)

I wouldn't say that I forgot, more that I was reminded by an email: Hi there, [snip] looks good, but didn't get much attention. Would you care to repost it? You can do so here: [snip]. Please use the same account (emidln), title, and URL. When these match, the software will give the repost an upvote from the mods, plus we'll help make sure it doesn't get flagged. This is part of an experiment in giving good HN submissions multiple chances at the front page. If you have any questions, let us know. And if you don't want these emails, sorry! Tell us and we won't do it again. Thanks for posting good things to Hacker News, Daniel

  Are there multiple mods or is just the one?

  Cool! Good initiative Daniel :)

  Wait, so upvotes from readers are secondary to mod upvotes in some cases? Not that I immediately disagree, but it's an interesting feature.

    I guess it's easier to verify. Otherwise, you'd get an instant bump on all reposts with all the votes the original accumulated.

    I've posted extensively about how and why we do this. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 and follow the links back from there. The purpose is to ensure that the HN front page sees more of the many high-quality stories that get posted here. In that respect the experiment has definitely been a success.

  A very restrained response, and very effective. I just wanted to add that I really enjoyed this article, and this is the first I've seen it.

  Good idea.

In addition to the bit about repost invites, it's important to know that if a good article hasn't had significant attention in the last year or so, reposts are ok. That's in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. So even if we hadn't sent an email, the repost would have been just fine.
