I was under the impression HN prevented you from submitting the same URL. How has this happened? Edit: Looks like each URL is slightly different.

- ColinWright 13y agoIndeed. Also, sometimes repeats slip through, most likely if the earlier submission is no longer in cache/memory.
- DanBC 13y agoSometimes people deliberately add stuff to the end of the URL to get past the dupe-check. Perhaps this needs to be penalized somehow? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5679080 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5679080) And it's not helpful that people link to various places on the SE page (the question, or one of the answers), rather than a canonical link to the page.
