A year is the expiration date on reposts of items that _have_ had significant discussion. Items which did not have significant discussion, and also did not have a large quantity of reposts already are exempt. In some cases the mods have reached out to submitters and suggested they repost items which the mods felt were interesting but did not catch on.

Unfortunately this is not clarifying my concerns about duplications in this particular case. I understand about the year of expiration and moderators can reach out submitters but for me is not clear what `significant discussion` means as well as `moderators could suggest submitters repost items which the mods felt were interesting but did not catch on`.

Essentially I still don't understand why some get label as duplicated and some others not.

Anyway, Unfortunately https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html is not clear at all for me and I think HN needs to make it more obvious to help members to understand without doubts or contradictions, which was the case for me.

So I will contact HN soon in order to request an account deletion.

Thanks for try to explain me about it.

PD. Sorry for the deviation of these comments from the main topic here. But I think my concern is already expressed on previous comments.
