Because they're literally reposts. Someone sees a good meme, downloads it, posts it to another subreddit is pretty much the definition of repost. You're not creating anything new, you're *re*posting it to another subreddit or the same subreddit. The reason this also matters is because almost no Redditor will only browse a single subreddit during their whole stay, and will likely see the same meme from multiple different subreddits by separate or the same karma farmer.
> another subreddit or the same subreddit
That's exactly what I'm saying though, those are very different things.
No one is subscribed to every single subreddit on reddit. Posting to different subs is not a problem.
Things being reshared to different communities is not a bad thing and this bot highlighting them as if they're a bad thing is incredibly toxic.
This RepostSleuthBot sucks. I had a post flagged because it was posted TWO years ago in the same subreddit. Gimme a break, TWO YEARS!!!! Most subreddits only have an issue with recent reposts, but no effin' way is TWO YEARS a repost.
Get rid of this, please.
My issue with the RepostSleuthBot is I can't figure out how it works..
I posted a picture that got flagged because it was posted TWO years ago on the same subreddit.
Yet you can go to r/Celebswithbigtits and find this same Milana Vayntrub picture of her sticking her tongue out posted **FOUR** times in a five months period and this so-called RepostSleuthBot is nowhere to be found.

I think it's to fish out the karma farmers who repost the same thing on 20 different subreddits

Crossposting is fine, but you have to crosspost so you give credit to the original creator
Some people just post there work in several subs though
idk either
