DrPizza, you're absolutely right. On the other hand, if something was done to discourage the bumps, the thread most likely would fall off the first page quickly, at least in P&N and OT. The other boards seem to move more slowly.

The OP would have to take some responsibility as well. It would be good, though probably unlikely, if the OP, once shown there is already an existing thread, would wipe the original post.

(Holy commas, Batman!)

I still think some published and enforced rules around calling repost would overall improve things. And the idea of vacations, even short ones, for calling repost without a link is absolutely hilarious. 🙂

Although your I agree with your points, I think that there are other things that the mods need to worry about more than reposts. Reposts are so common especially in OT and other forums around the time of Hardware/software releases it'd get exhausting to try to moderate them all. I think locking/deleting troll, flame bait/war, blatant spam posts and the general immaturity around here take priority over moderating reposts. I think the regulars do a good enough job indicating whether a thread is a repost.

Ill take trolls over repost screamers and grammer nazi's anyday. At least the trolls are occassionally funny. The latter two are just plain irritating.
