Her first ad was posted at 9:50am and the second at 10:43am... Has anyone seen the system do that before? Because I haven't.

In those cases, there is a lag between the two posting submissions. It doesnt matter to me because I don’t post ads. When it happens, I usually just edit the duplicate, so I couldn’t locate any good examples.
The real question here is about common sense. It’s classic Occam’s Razor, what is most likely? In order to believe SAR deserved points, the following assumptions must be made:
1. SAR, knowing she’d get pointed, chose to post identical ad within an hour of each other.
2. SAR did this instead of posting days apart and getting the same points but in a way that makes business sense and maximizes her visibility - for the same points.
3. SAR knowing what she’d done, came here to complain about a couple of points that ultimately don’t make much difference besides being annoying.
On the other hand, if it was a technical glitch, we must make the following assumption:
1. A known glitch occurred that caused the double post and a mod or mods incorrectly posted both, then someone chose to point her.
You be the judge. What is more likely? Which requires fewer assumptions?
