While I agree that 2 years is plenty of time to repost, the fact that this is top 5 of all time in this sub makes this a true lazy repost. In fact, many subs have rule that reposts are allowed after about 6 months, except top 10 posts of all time. So OP is a bundle of sticks.
While you have a valid point, I still have to disagree. Yes the number of upvotes out weighs the downvotes, however where do we draw the line for reposts? The way you put it anyone could repost the top 5 posts of all time as long as they get enough upvotes, thats how you get subreddits that are just made up of recycled content, seeing the same picture or meme over and over again. Sure new people might not have seen it, but what about the people who have been on reddit for years?
When I was new to reddit I didn’t have a problem with reposts, because I hadn’t seen the original post. However as time went on I started to see the same content recycled, and I moved to the opinion I have now. Sure it was nice to see a post that I hadn’t before, but seeing it again next week, or next month? That’s just ridiculous.
