It is true, but I find it kind of impossible to justify bitching about the repetition of something you weren't here to experience, in other words, yes it's repetitive, but you only know that because you went looking for it, not because you were able to actually notice the repetition because you were (under this username at least) an active user of this website at the original time. It's like me complaining about a repost even if I respond to the repost and would never have seen the repost otherwise. What's the point? The repost didn't damage you. In fact it brought new information to you - AND, you're contributing to it besides. If you don't like that the question has been asked before you have more constructive options: 1) Respond to the original thread 2) Don't comment and don't share I think it is more positive to think of reposted AskHubski questions as potential opportunities to update us on your previous answers, assuming of course that you were around at that time. You weren't even. This is a new opportunity for you to provide an answer, which by the way you did. So why are you bitching about it? No one is forcing you to answer this question, clearly you decided that you wanted to. Like, at no point am I debating the truthfulness of your statement. I am debating its validity when brought to the discussion by you.
I knew it! The animated gif gave it away. They're really obnoxious by the way. Also, you're absolutely right it was posted before and moreover it's not even the most interesting re-post, my apologies. I was looking at photography last night and was captured by how much an image can convey and then by how much a single word can convey... And bam, I made a post. -again sorry for the repost.
Im not a gamer so all of that is lost on me but I appreciate the cryptic nature.
Oh, you. Considering the crux of my comment was the fact that the username was only 9 days old and so therefore couldn't possibly have experienced the repost, then yes, it would have mattered. My opinions on reposts are mixed and that is abundantly clear from discussions I've had on the topic. My umbrage was derived from looking at an account that appeared to be jumping on a bandwagon in order to pander to a certain crowd by commenting on the nature of a repost that that account clearly could not have experienced. So yes. Assuming you are ando as well, yes it absolutely would have made a difference. There's behavior that looks like shilling for approval, and there's behavior that looks reasonable based on the context, aka in this scenario, the age of the account. I should've guessed from the damn animated GIFs. Like, if you want to be treated like a stranger, delete your old account and start a new one. But if you don't want to be, then don't. There are consequences for deleting your online personality and one of them is that we're all going to act like we don't know you any more until you blow your cover. You're going to get treated like a newb again.
I had a feeling there was something familiar about you! You didn't seem very newbyish. I can see there being advantages to having a new persona. I was briefly thinking of starting a new account under the name noodledish. (That was fun, first time I used the spoiler alert function.)
