Mods, I submitted this exact url 23 hours ago. Why didn’t future submissions go to mine?

minimaxir • Dec 9, 2015 • View on HN

You submitted this yesterday. Don't delete and resubmit HN submissions.

deegles • Nov 10, 2015 • View on HN

I actually submitted this yesterday but it got resubmitted automatically? Is this a new HN feature?

ChrisGranger • Jul 11, 2020 • View on HN

While this is an interesting submission, please don't submit it so often. Wait a few days before submitting it again. Thank you!

Was your previous submissionhttp://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=67013getting killed by the admins not enough of a hint not to spam us with this junk?

mrfusion • May 2, 2016 • View on HN

It's weird I was allowed to submit this if it was already submitted. Maybe a bug?

listic • Dec 25, 2014 • View on HN

Looks like your submission went didn't meet with readers' attention, while the later one did. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8791056 Happened to me, too :/

apologies, but that submission had rapidly gained comments while these two hadn't, so i decided to help people out

minimaxir • Jan 20, 2015 • View on HN

You've submitted this twice today. Note that deleting then resubmitting is against HN rules.

odd, I submitted this a few days ago and it didn't get picked up, not sure why now says "5 hours ago"
