I like the fact that we have the option to link to other topics in an article.
I believe this should not be regulated.
Reposts are bound to happen no matter what. One of them will inevitably receive more votes than the others, and the others, if relevant, will then be added as related links.
This is all manageable.
The only issue I can think of (and it is indeed a bit problematic) is when people are going to downvote something because it is a repost, and then the poster will lose his reputation score.
Why not just have a "repost" button that's like an alert? That would be especially great if there where also an option to merge snaps. I'm really into that idea now! :)
I guess it's essentially the same thing, but I like the idea that I'm just informing someone of similar content they might not be aware of, not disapproving of their content.

Like using the related sites link to point two snaps back at each other? ;)
Downvotes also have a chilling effect on the snap or comment, especially since this site automatically lists items by popularity rather than chronologically by default.
I also like that we have the option to link to other snaps. Reposts are going to happen. I just wish there was a better way to point out to someone that they have a repost other than downvoting them. I have thought about this issue a lot and really don't have a solution. it is not a problem for me to remove a snap,it does not take a lot to do that.
I routinely remove snaps and add them as related links, and it is a bit annoying, but not that big a deal if the snap hasn't gotten any attention yet anyway. This whole issue came up because I was going to remove a snap and re-add it as a link, but the snap had been linked to the snap I was going to add the link to!
I also don't like downvoting to report a repost. Unless it is the exact same content, and it was just posted recently, that doesn't make much sense to me.
Reposting can be a frustrating issue, and it really is unavoidable no matter how hard you try! I love being able to link to other content, I was just wondering if linking to other snaps was necessary or not. Do you like having snaps be linked together through the "related links" feature? Do you think a merging or grouping feature would make more sense?
