yeah, the problem is not so much the reposting of old pics, but the title of the thread that contains the word
"new" in it.
A few days back, I posted four pics here that i think were genuinely new to OCC as this seemed like an appropriately named thread for that. Within a day or so, Osreb reposted two of them. That is how fast new material becomes reposted material these days.
If one desires to keep a thread genuinely free of reposts, it is almost an impossible task without "administrator" privileges. I get spoiled over at Flickr because I can remove pics from my groups any time i want. If threads here could be set up like that so that the original poster had special powers to manage input, that would be pretty awesome. Some niche forums can get pretty nasty with members crying "REPOST! REPOST!" all the time, etc, with the mods sometimes culling them as well as off topic pics. But here, it is different as we are a more generalized forum with a huge and growing membership.
