Appears to be that if you put a "#" at the end of the URL it doesn't get flagged as a repeat.

Actually, there's some number of items that are new enough that they're dupes, but after a certain period, they can be resubmitted.

Do you know the thinking behind that? (Or what the time length is?)

PG commented on it forever ago.

The thinking (if I can speculate) probably is that if an item was submitted that didn't make it to the homepage, but it gets resubmitted a year later and does make it, it's worth everyone seeing it again.

Or, it could just be too annoying for the less-than-part-time maintainers of HN to keep the blacklist past 10,000 items or something.

Speculate on. :)
