> "I tried submitting an article, and the site posted the article on my behalf from some bot account and it never saw the light of day." I haven't observed behavior like this. HN does have dedupe behavior that prevents the same piece being submitted multiple times within some time frame. How this looks to the duplicate submitter is that upon clicking "submit", rather than creating a new submission, it redirects you to original. This could appear that it's getting submitted by some other account, but isn't what actually happened.
