BTW, this is the ninth time I have submitted this story. But I just knew it fits this audience, so I tried again.
So, if you feel your submissions never make it to the front page, realize that much of it is pure chance.

How do you resubmit the same link though? You tack on &attempt=55 to the end?
So for the link above, it'd be
http://www.independent.co.uk./news/world/americas/i-fell-in-...
Notice the period after ".co.uk" and before the "/"
E.g. "Example.com./"
Having a period after TLD is a valid URL. But rarely seen.
Having a period after the domain tells DNS not to search any search domains setup on the system. If your system was setup with the search domain example.com, www.independent.co.uk could also be evaluated as www.independent.co.uk.example.com (if it had a DNS entry) by your system whereas www.independent.co.uk. can't.
Maybe read at least the FAQ and the guidelines before trying to police others?
