Never seen a thread removed as dupe for being posted 6 months ago. Old news is reposted on HN daily. It’s hard to see this moderation as being anything other than political.

- dang 8y agoPlease see the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. Reposts are allowed after about a year. Otherwise, if a story has significant attention already, we mark reposts as dupes. This is standard HN moderation. I'm not sure what amazes me more: that we can do something routinely every day, and users still report never having seen it; or that people rush to assume political skulduggery as the explanation for whatever they do see.
