Yesterday, I posted content that was deleted for being a "repost.". In fact, it was a repost. It was a repost of a really hot video, probably the lady's best work so far.
However, I would like to offer an explanation and a suggestion.
I looked over each page before posting my content. When I found that it was already posted with one active link to an allowed host, I uploaded the content to 2 other available hosts as "mirrors" (I used gofile & zippyshare.) I also wanted to provide a smaller file size, better quality and a kick-ass gif of the scene. Also, since posting mirrors is not specifically addressed in the rules, could we address it now, please?
By allowing mirror posts, we encourage a redundant file system. In today's world of DMCA hunters, this is a wise move. Since the number of hosts allowed is small, it shouldn't lead to excessive "like farming." If our moderating team can find a case of reposting, then they can also find whether it is merely a mirror post. Also, as a 10 year veteran with moderating experience of some of the long-tenured, popular porn sharing sites which allow for mirror posting using other acceptable file hosts, I understand the value of this being allowed. Therefore, I suggest we start allowing the reposting of files if a "mirror" host is used and add an addendum to the rules declaring such. Please and thank you.
Additionally, perhaps I could have quoted the still active post declaring my post was, for all intents and purposes, a thread bump via "mirror" posting & a shout out to the original poster's contribution. Any thoughts?
