I am a "noob" I guess, and I didn't know all the rules when I started posting. I think that for the most part people are too lazy to look up old posts, sometimes it takes a minute or two to find it....

Yeah that's the part I don't get.
People complain thread starter is too lazy to do a search, but they themselves are too lazy to search and provide the link. Which I think is bunch of hypocrite.

Obviously there will be reposts during this new phase as people dig through to post all the offers that we have merged in the past. Give it some time? It's only been 5 days.

Freebiz uses multiple links at the same time, so it's not that one offer dies and a new one opens.

If it happens over 2-3 days, the threads will be merged since I still consider them the same offer. Often times companies will promote the same offer using different links for tracking purposes.

I understand the time limit.
1. What do you mean by offer? Does it mean same product/same company/link or what?

Then let someone else say repost and provide the link. Just saying repost by itself doesn't do anything.
Repost with a link allow people interested in the deal to read up on previous thread.

If the thread is older than 6 months, generally just repost it. If it has had frequent replies I would probably just bump it, though.

I really don't get those types - whose only contribution is to call others out on repetitive posts. Thinking about it, it's kind of pathetic.
