So you can bring a discarded video back to life with a promote according to the FAQ ("float a post at the top of the corresponding listing; renew queue time for queued/discarded videos")

But what happens in terms of the submission time of that video? I'm thinking about the following situation:

1. You post a video. It's hot. It goes Top 15. You are a happy bunny.
2. When you posted this video, it came up with no duplicate suggestions and you also searched for the video and the results came back empty.
3. But somebody had posted it before, and discarded it for whatever reason (maybe it got no votes at the time etc).
4. That person then sees your great video in the Top 15 and them promotes their own discarded video back to life and gets somebody to call dupe on it.

Seems a little unfair on the person who stuck with the video if that makes sense? The original submitter discarded it, essentially removing it from the site but not quite killing it.

Should you be allowed to bring back discarded videos with a promote essentially?

P.S. It could just be the case that you can't promote a discarded video and that the FAQ is out of date.
