On: Ask HN: We screwed up our HN post. What next?

[twanschik]

We posted merely 2 weeks ago. So, many HN users could down-vote it because of that. What do you think?

I don't know, how long were you on the front page before you got taken off? People won't complain about double posting unless they actually saw it the first time!

You can't downvote links on HN. You only have to worry about not receiving upvotes.

Sorry, I meant getting flagged.

[6thSigma → twanschik]

People flag things with no rhyme or reason I've found. I wouldn't worry about that.

I'd be more worried about getting the domain banned from HN in regards to reposting it. But that probably won't happen unless you do it a lot.
