Maybe you spent alot of time writing an article and it isn't getting picked up on like you think it should. I get it, I have been there, but there are some rules about putting it back on the Oppo front page maybe some people are not aware of. So, please read through before top posting your content again. I have seen it often and alot this past week

Please do not share any post more than once after its original publication, with the following exceptions:

If you shared your post, and due to Kinja issues, it was not seen as it was meant to be presented, in these cases, preface your reshare with an explanation. We understand that kinja works in mysterious ways (and Nibbles is still with us, somewhere).

If there is a theme day and after a time less than four hours your post is more than 6 pages back.

For posts which are recurring and benefit the community as a whole (such as posts from moderators discussing the community, like this one) or benefiting a subgroup of the community in organizing an event (meetups, for instance) then slightly more periodic resharing may be appropriate. However when in doubt about this, please ask before sharing.

If more than one week has passed from the date of the original share, and the topic is still highly relevant and would, in your eyes, benefit the community, you may re-share a topic once again.

PSA: do not load the bogwater trolley above the cab while it still contains any remnants of "product" - to whit: poo. If a trolley is used for fresh water and not evil, disregard this notice.

I just looked at it and had visions of "contaminants" leaking down on the cab, which would be horrific. To say nothing of getting shit-sloshed while loading it.

See, if I have the nightmares *first* I can plan accordingly. Unless I have kids that get old enough to *also* plan accordingly. Little schemers, kids are.

I've asked this question before, and got the response from a different mod that this line:

"please do not share any post more than once after its original publication"

actually means that ZERO shares after the initial post are acceptable, unless they fall into the categories below. By my reading of the rule, it sounds like one share (but not more than one) after the initial post is acceptable, but in his mind, he was viewing the initial post as a "share" to OPPO.

If the rule really is that your post should hit OPPO once, and only once, except in special circumstances, I think the rule needs to be reworded.

FWIW - I'm completely down with zero shares, or one at most. It was getting out of hand (for the morning/afternoon/evening/night crowd)...

Hopefully OppoBlog can catch anything of merit that doesn't get enough eyeballs otherwise.

I must admit I did this when I was trying to figure out how to schedule a post I thought may be of interest in the U.K. and then later (or early next day) for the U.S. crowd on the new Superb.
