Here what happened:

• i changed the tracklist of a vinyl release, having wrong tracks (2 tracks of 19:10 each) to the correct tracklist (6 tracks, 3 per side, total 19:10 per side)
• so 6 new recordings were created, and 2 were left alone
• 5 minutes later i create the digital release, which has 2 tracks of 19:10, matching the 2 recordings previously on the vinyl release
• when i tried to re-use those recordings (found via indexed search), the submit failed
• i created 2 new recordings, wondering why i couldn't re-use previous recordings, with the intent to merge them later
• just after the new release was created, i went to merge old recordings to new ones, search for them, found them (via indexed search)
• finally noticed those 2 recordings didn't exist anymore
• modbot prolly removed them because they were unrelated to anything

It would be better if modbot didn't remove those recordings that fast, 2 mbids lost, and from user point of view this is a bit unexpected.

What about enforcing the 24 hours delay in this case ?
