Tell HN: The submission dupe detector apparently has been disabled

[minimaxir]

The good news is no more "?hn=1" workaround necessary.

The bad news is the 4x Facebook react links on the front page. :p

[dang]

We've been experimenting with adjusting it, but that was a bug. No one wants identical links on the front page.

[minimaxir → dang]

Why not both? Have the normal dupe behavior for the first 24 hours a link is present, then have resubmissions beyond that.

[dang → minimaxir]

Yes, something like that should work. The intention is to have the software work similarly to the actual policy, which is that reposts are ok if (but only if) a story hasn't had significant attention in the last year or so.
