You submitted this an hour ago, but I see it's been deleted. I believe, but cannot find confirmation, that the moderators frown on this, and may in the past have banned people who submit, delete, re-submit items. Such a ban might depend on just how flagrant the behavior is, and the occasional cycle may be tolerated.

I do not speak for the moderators, and this is my understanding only.

Edited for clarification of the lack of documented source.

Do you have a link to that, per chance? It seems like reasonable behavior on their part, but I've never seen it in the site guidelines, nor mentioned in a comment.

I'll check - it may have been mentioned to me separately when I was talking with the moderators about other things ... stand by.

Back again. I've gone searching and I can't find a comment here on HN via the search function, so I suspect it was a comment made to me by one of the moderators.

I have edited my initial comment to make that clearer.

Nope, was unaware. Sorry...
