As far as I understand it, the recommended way to get an improperly flagged submission back onto the front page is to email the moderators and ask them to manually override the flagging, not trying to brute force it by re-submitting. The HN moderators can be reached at the email on the contact page linked at the bottom.

You're definitely right, I should have done that instead. I reached out after seeing your post last night and it appears that the mods have removed the flag from the original post.
