I ask again: why didn't HN's software flag my submission so I didn't submit yet another dupe?

I agree it could be better, but I can't answer for it. Best to search before submitting, especially if it's a news article that's more than a day old (although that doesn't always work with title-edits).

Why didn't you search for it so you didn't submit yet another dupe?

The account spams HN with dozens of (usually political or against HN guidelines) posts every single day of every single month of every single year, do you really think they care enough about what they're submitting to search?

		>The account spams HN with dozens... NEVER >10/day. I have limits. >spams — at least once a month one of my submissions sits atop the HN homepage; weekly or more often there's one on the homepage. I ask you: if people didn't submit things, what would you have to criticize? It's so much easier and more fun to tear down than build. It's been over 5 years and we're STILL waiting for your first submission. >(usually political or against HN guidelines) This imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/6Mqj5M1 shows all my submissions for the past 3 days. 1. Which are "political" (if any)? 2. Which are "against HN guidelines"? About once every couple months one of my submissions is flagged: "usually"?

		Touché, I guess.
