What do You Think of Repeated Questions?

I always found it rather frustrating when I would see similar threads weekly on /r/askreddit. So I was wondering, how do the people of Snapzu feel about this?

    I think that for any link site, repeated questions are not a problem. Unlike forums, topics typically die within a certain amount of time because they get buried and no one sees them again, where when a topic is posted on in a forum, it gets brought back to the top, so concepts can be discussed for years and bring in new people all the time. On Reddit, a thread would get buried in a day or two, less if it doesn't hit the front page, so weekly topics have the chance to reach different people and get varying opinions and spark new discussion. On Snapzu, I'm a bit worried repeating questions would indeed be more annoying than anything else. We have less users to contribute different opinions, so it becomes less of reaching different people and more of becoming a complete repeat with the same question spawning the same answers from the same people.

      Yeah, but with questions repeated weekly, a large portion of the time the answers were either recycled, or the same thing form a different person.

    I'm not sure. I would get annoyed by repeated threads when they happened on a weekly basis, but every once in a while I would see a question that I had seen maybe 6 months- a year ago and it was interesting see new answers.
