One of the things that bothers me about /wsg/ (and to a lesser extent /gif/) is that the same video clip gets posted multiple times. One video clip can be found in one of the many YLYL theads and Dance threads (not to mention multiple times in the archive).
I understand that /wsg/ is a slow board. But I would love it if there was a restriction on posting webm/gifs: You can't post a webm if it already exists in a current thread OR in the archive. Of course people would get around the restriction by re-encoding the vid. But most wouldn't do that in my opinion.
Is that too draconian? Am I being an autist? It doesn't bother me when it happens on other boards. But it is so annoying to me when it happens on /wsg/ and /gif/.
Is anyone else bothered by the frequency of reposted content on /wsg/ or any of the boards in general?

Forced memes are obvious when they happen if that's what you mean.

>Forced memes are obvious when they happen
You're right.
But I don't feel like people are forcing a meme when they repost a webm or gif on /wsg/ or /gif/.
I was going to post some examples but maybe I am just getting triggered by video memes.
it's also a problem on /s/. someone will post the 1 picture they've saved in 8 different threads and then come back the next day and do it again. some will even save a few pics from one thread and use them to start an identical thread when the original isn't anywhere near image limit.

Maybe just in all current active threads.
Anyway, /wsg/ isn't slow.

My impression is that /wsg/ is a slow compared to other boards. I don't have any means to verify what I believe. But it feels slow.
The website in the attached image seems to suggest that /wsg/ is one of the slower boards. But there is no way to verify if the data is valid.

That sounds reasonable to me.

Yeah that bothers me as well. It happens on almost all the boards I frequent. But reposting the same image/video doesn't bother me as much on boards where the image/video isn't the main point of the board.
I understand 4chan is an imageboard and images are a big part of the content. But baneposting on /tv/ or latest memeposting on /sp/ doesn't really annoy me. I'm not on those boards for the images. Conversely, on boards like /s/ or /hr/, I'm really only there for the images. And the same thing is true on /wsg/ and /gif/.
