- flippant 11y agoI am not aware of HN etiquette. Is pointing out a duplicate submission frowned upon?
- thristian 11y agoSee the question "Are reposts ok?" in the FAQ linked at the bottom of the page.
- tinco 11y agoAs a guideline you can expect anything that's off-topic (like a meta remark about it being a repost) to get at least a few downvotes. This is because when you post a new comment it'll (often) show up as the top comment, and someone will deem it not top-comment worthy and downvote it. i.e.: sometimes a title is really wrong and a comment about it will get a bunch of upvotes, and then when the title is corrected the comment will actually get voted to the bottom because its no longer relevant or useful to the discussion.
- vegedor 11y ago> someone will deem it not top-comment worthy and downvote it That's unnecessary, because points degrade quickly if not up-voted. New posts receive points specifically to achieve exposure.
- maxerickson 11y agoPointing out recent previous discussions (with more than a couple of comments) is usually appreciated. A complaint that someone reposted "your" link usually is not.
