> Are reposts ok?
> If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.
> Please don't delete and repost the same story. Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been submitted in the first place.
- Jashwanth01 9mo agoThanks for pointing that out.. I appreciate it. I’m still learning how HN submissions work and didn’t realize how reposts are handled here. I’ll be more careful going forward. Thanks for the clarification.
- verdverm 9mo agoI may have been a little overzealous with this one. There is a significant bot spam problem on HN right now, re: openclaw and friends It's good to review all the guidelines and rules from time to time. Submitting the same post a few times over a week is generally going to be ok, despite what the rules say about 1 year. I recall there being other timing guidelines written somewhere else (perhaps a @dang comment, dang is the OG mod for HN, recently a second has joined, forget handle) By and large, HN is community moderated via interactions like this (ideally), but in reality it is mainly through downvotes and flagging. This is generally an interesting topic, a little polish on presentation and positioning will help. Once you do that, submit again
- Jashwanth01 9mo agoThanks for clarifying... I appreciate you taking the time to explain. I understand the sensitivity around spam lately. I’m new here and still learning the culture, so the context helps a lot. I’ll take the feedback on presentation and positioning, polish it properly, and resubmit in a better form. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
