This is a big problem here as people presume that we are posting to a stagnant and captured community. This stagnant and captured community voted on the post 3 or 4 years ago and if it is reposted now, it will mean double dipping.
Now please come and reason with me.
Are we posting to the exact same community that existed 3 or 4 years ago?
How many members of the community saw and voted on the post 3 or 4 years ago?
Can a person's post be seen by 100% of the community?
Here is an example about viewership: Last week a post was sent out to state that the auto-votes had been reset and that members can now only auto-vote 2 times per week.
If they didn't like the new setting, they were welcome to manually restore to their old setting!
Many have not seen that post and did not know that their auto-votes were changed.
The result was a bit catastrophic for worthy entities like charities, as we lost many votes and communications.
I have not yet resurrected an old post, as I thought #Showcase-Sunday was meant for new stuff.
All that I am saying here is that it should not be a crime to redo an old post.
This is @midlet's argument too, the audience changes significantly over time.
Yes, most people who use the service don't follow the account, a good example.
Another example is that I used the hive tag on my posts.
Like I used to use the steem tag.
All of a sudden I get two red "scammer" warnings.
Me? A scammer?
My thought was that if I place the post link on twitter, outsiders that click on the link will see the hive tag on my post.
