the repetition rule: if there's a recent thread on it, we don't need another one.

you are not expected to know the details of every post that occurs in oot, but at least take the time to scan the front page for threads that might be on the same topic. if it's a big news event like a celebrity dying, a spreading-link-wildfire funny video link, or that sort of thing odds are high that it's been covered already. this also applies to the known repetition of existing threads. related but less interesting copycat threads are seldom welcome, and ones that obviously didn't deserve breaking off from their parent to form a new thread never are.
