***ts are still running the world...
but if you think reposting is cuntywhy did you do it here:
www.b3ta.com/board/9315413
and again here, even:
www.b3ta.com/board/9320692
Serious question, not (solely) trying to be a cunt.

reposting as a **NEW THREAD** is cuntyLook, this probably sounds impatient of me, sorry, but it's right there in plain in English in the famous FAQ, okay? Look:
"I am really proud of my picture, is it OK if I post it again?
Please don't repost your picture as a new message.
It goes on to say:
"If you really want to show people your hard work again, you could try these:
* Post your image as a relevant reply to another picture."
Which is exactly what Pasa did: 9315384#post9315413, 9320684#post9320692.
Here, look, I know 8 pages of FAQ is a bit hard to remember. I got fed up of trawling through to find rules I couldn't quite remember. So i made this -- a summary (bigger here):
Welcome. Essence of the rules for /board, culled from the FAQ, spiced with experience:
Golden rules (especially for n00bs):
1. Read the FAQ (it's the official 'rules'). Or you'll get shouted at.
2. If you make a mistake, be ready to say "oops, sorry!": it really helps. Don't be cocky: it makes you look like a cock.
3. Please read people's replies to your posts, and join in the conversations: they help make B3ta a community.
New threads are precious:
4. Only start a new thread if you're posting a new image that's worth it.
- The rule seems to be: don't use a new thread if you didn't put a reasonable creative effort into making your image.
- If it isn't, use "Reply" in an existing thread (or make your image better!).
- Why? Because /board only holds 15 threads: each click of "Post a new message" pushes other people's work off the bottom.
5. If you're re-posting the same (or altered) image: do NOT start a new thread!
- Especially not for compo reposts: Reply lets you choose "challenge entry" too.
6. If you want to post again, use Reply in your existing thread (if it's still on the board). Don't start multiple new threads: it's greedy.
Images:
7. Only post stuff that you made.
8. Only post stuff that you uploaded (don't leach).
9. Don't post unmodified photos (unless of a thing you made).
10. Don't post NSFW.
11. Not bigger than 100k bytes (50k preferred). Anims: not more than 400k.
12. Not more than 700px wide.
- If it's too big, compress it until it's small enough.
- If it's still too big, post a small thumbnail with a link instead (using: <a href="blahBIGGAR.jpg"> <img src="blahThumb.jpg" /> </a>).
If you cock up:
13. Never use Delete (it also removes everyone's replies!): use the Edit button instead.
14. If you started a new thread by accident, say sorry. (And don't delete it!).
NSFW:
Whatever you put in a message will be downloaded and seen by all b3ta readers, often on their work computer. You could get someone sacked on the spot, or put through a disciplinary investigation that's not much better, because their manager thought it looked a bit like porn from 10 feet away. Do not do it. (For the record all these are no defence: "it isn't actually porn", "you can't see his/her whatever", "you're such a prude", "but no-one complained about this one *points at some-other-image*"). You can link a NSFW image (using: <a href="blah.jpg">), but warn people that it's a NSFW link.
This is just a summary, hopefully useful as a quick checklist when posting. I welcome suggestions for improving it (gaz me).
