If so, maybe auto-add a prefix, "REPOST: Article Title", for any link that's re-submitted. That way people who've seen it before can ignore clicking on it, while those who haven't seen it will now have the opportunity to read it. EDIT: BvS already posted a link to a Reddit post with the same idea.

I would prefer if anyone posting a link would append the year of the original article, regardless of whether it's a repost or not.

Apart from the current year (which is implied).
