It does spot duplicates. I have submitted something and been immediately directed to an existing submission of the same story.

Presumably an exact URL match, and maybe within a timescale?



Yeah, that's the issue, the autospotter is not perfect. Maybe someone from HN could enlighten us.


There's novelsworth of moderator commentary on dupes, the HN search thing will dig them up for you.
