Is it common HN practice to report the same thing until it finally gets attention?
- greg7gkb 8y agoI don't believe this claim is correct... all 5 submissions were made by different users.
- flixic 8y agoThe fact that on the fifth time it rose to #1 spot, while not getting more than 2 points the first 4 times it was posted shows just how much luck is involved in getting past the "New" page.
- wellpast 8y agoHow is that HN didn't de-duplicate the URL?
- grzm 8y agoFrom what I've seen, if a story hasn't gotten significant votes or comments (and I think there's a time interval involved as well), it isn't considered a dupe.
