- dang 2y agoOn HN a post only counts as a dupe if it got significant attention, which that one didn't (only 3 points and 2 comments - but we'll merge the comments hither) When an article hasn't had significant attention yet, we let reposts through (after 8 hours) - this is on purpose, to give good articles multiple chances at getting attention. Of course that leaves the submitters in a bit of a lottery situation, but it at least evens out in the long run if you keep submitting good articles!
- impish9208 2y agoUnderstood, thanks dang! I think sometimes I just get annoyed because I see something I posted earlier getting reposted. I’ll try not to let it get to me going forward lol.
