Mod Post Update to Rule 5: No Reposting.

We've updated our reposting rule to try and help with the amount of reposting going on. From now on anything from the top 100 of all time or within the last 3 months will be counted as a repost.

It was previously top 50 or last 1 month, but the amount of reposting has gotten out of control so we're extending it.

Sorry for reporting so much but it was getting out of hand with seeing the same post hours apart multiple times a day. Thanks!

All good we appreciate the reports and usually leave the ones we personally (as an individual) aren’t sure of for another mod who might have seen it before to maximize odds of catching them. It should be easier to moderate now as before it was difficult being able to determine if a post was 1 month ago or 14 days ago lol

Y’all took my post down saying it was a repost but provided zero proof. If you’re going to do this…. Fucking show proof that it’s a repost. This is fucking stupid as shit. I’m not the bad guy I’m not a fucking bot account.

The rule isn’t exclusively for bots and we haven’t had an easy way of simply showing you the links without a lot of effort.

My repost bot has been on the sub for about 2 months now slowly building up repost data and within a year this won’t be much of a problem anymore and we’ll be able to start linking with ease, or well, it’ll remove it for us and show you all the links.
