So, I was uploading three images that were in sequence at the same time. I managed to accidentally select the same file for two of them. Once I had uploaded all of them, I noticed I uploaded two of the same image. I immediately filed an Uploader Request report with a link to the image I had intended to be there, asking for it to be replaced. Instead the image got deleted as a duplicate.
 
So, did my report not go through in time, or did nobody notice it, or..? And can I have the old image number restored, as they were in sequence and had consecutive image numbers, or is that spot lost forever?

I checked the moderation logs, and the person who merged the images doesn’t have access to the reports queue. The site uses fairly granular permissions for staff, so we can control which individual mod tools a staff member can access, and there’s a lot more people on staff who can merge duplicates than see the reports queue.
 
I restored the duplicate and replaced the file. Normally we can’t do that because of some consistency issues and such, but since this one was merged so quickly, I don’t think there’s any risk of any of that happening.

Alright, cool. Thanks for clarifying. As of this reply though, the image is still the duplicate and not the image from the replacement link. Should I file another link to the intended image?
