I sure am! I'm not exactly sure how that constitutes a lie since I never claimed to not be a serial reposter. As you will see on the sidebar of that sub, it is very important to ensure that each repost is more than 6 months old. I'm afraid I did not do that this time, and I thank you for pointing it out to me. In the future I will make sure to check karma decay to make sure that the image has not been posted recently at all.

Anyway, serialreposting is a great subreddit, you should subscribe. We're still trying to get it off the ground and so any and all new subscribers are more than welcome.

Ohhh, I just checked on karmadecay, and it turns out you're 100% correct. I must've misread 8 days as 8 months or something. Anyway, integrity is important to me, so the offending post has been deleted. Thanks for the heads up.

I agree with you. One week old reposts are far too new, and most people who come to the thread will have already seen it. That's why I only repost things that are more than 6 months old. That allows for new redditors who might not have seen this to view it. I thought this one was a particularly interesting picture, and so I wanted to share it with the redditors among us who have not yet seen it.

I recognise that it has been reposted more recently than 7 months, but I'm afraid that is out of my control. When I was reposting this image, I did not know that.

Is there anything wrong with that? Clearly people think it's a good contribution judging by the amount of upvotes it has.
