Umm, this is a different person and a different lawsuit... Please revert!!

  Ah sorry - I missed that they are different lawsuits. From an HN moderation point of view this is a bit of a distinction without a difference, because "Proctorio lawsuit against student" is really one topic, not two. But I can see how it has made several comments confusing to mess up the contexts like that. Perhaps the best thing will be to post the different links with an explanation at the top of the thread.

    FWIW, one is a teacher and the other is a student. I'm a little confused though - this post says it's from 10 hours ago, the other says it's from 8 hours ago. Why was the other one chosen? edit - Thanks for all you do for HN.

      When we re-up a post we adjust the timestamps relative to the re-up time. If you look at the item IDs in the URLs you can clearly see which post was earlier. Sorry, I know it's confusing! It's just that the other strategies we've tried have been even more confusing.
