There is only one way to find out: since we are free to do what we want, we can at least try and then see how the swarms react to it.
That, then, is "law" (for the time being).
Personally, I would find no issue with a post that clarifies it is a repost for one reason or another and links back to the original so I can decide whether to uptuck this time (because you were treated unfairly back then) or no (because you got 50,000 for that one the last time) or at least comment (because it was a timeless topic deserving what we called a "bump" on the Bulletin Boards of old).
i agree. clear clarification and the link to old post and people can decide based on what the post made in the past and it's "value" if it's worth another upvote.
HArd to say if it's ok to take the same upvotes twice....?
