Comment on A peek into Reddit's anti-spam internalsparent

Comments

I guarantee you've thought more about this than I have, but the first impression I had of the "second chance" pool was that it would essentially be a repost of the top-level post and not the comment threads. I think part of the reason people bring it up is because they see the same post PLUS the same comments with new timestamps and feel disoriented.

Oh, that isn't how I thought the pool worked at all. Invisibly rewriting dates feels very dishonest/disorienting!
