Agreed. Repost Nazis need to take a chill pill (usually). Unlike some people on here, the rest of us don't monitor the forums 24/7. On the other hand, people need to do a reasonable search to make sure they aren't reposting. Also, descriptive thread titles would help.

If it's a repost of the original within about 6-12 hours or is still on page 1, fine. But otherwise, not everyone is on ATOT the entire day and sees every thread.

And saying REPOST once in a thread is enough... and link to it if you can.

As I said in the repost of this thread ;)

erikiksaz: And for those that bitch about searching before posting--yes, that's a good idea, but face it, none of us are around the forums 24/7. We can't catch everything. If a poster neglects searching for a thread before posting, and it's a stupid repost, let it die. If it's worth it's repost value, then the repost will be worth it.

No, finding and bumping the original thread would be worthwhile. (like dahunan just did here)

Reposting without a search is discourteous laziness and an affront to anyone who took the time to respond in the original thread.

I do a simple keyword search before i'll post a thread. it really isn't that difficult. and you don't need to be on here 24/7 to do that.

Agreed. Although I still post reposts about 30% of the time.

That's just because you aren't very smart.

In my opinion people who get pissed about reposts either have way to much time on their hands or are to stupid to realize all they have to do is NOT click on the link.
