  Not quite; the moderators have created a new copy to put in the second chance pool (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). Sorry for confusion!

    My bad, sorry. I was under the impression that the way that the second chance pool worked was that the original was boosted instead of a copy being created so it seemed like a duplicate.

      (other mod here) - not your bad! our complexity :) - usually it works exactly as you described, but when the post is older than a few days we have to do it the other way, by spawning a new post. The reasons for this are mostly technical and boring.
