The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

But why are reposts even an issue? If it makes it back to the front page obviously enough people missed it the first time around, right?

They are not an issue if sufficient enough time has passed from the initial posting. A repost tag would simply inform people that they are not trying to karma whore as badly, or at least that they are being honest about it. It's kind of sad to see someone find a cool picture or article on the internet, then get robbed of their karma because someone immediately reposts it to a bigger subreddit. It was just an idea.
