I have a question regarding FFD rules, is it considered to be abusing/spamming FFD's if someone repeatedly uploads already uploaded and approved material that has been on the site for some time and flags the existing post despite their own NEW post being the exact same size/quality/LITTERALLY THE IDENTICAL FILE and in the process ends up giving site staff more work both with having to approve the same content multiple times as well as go through the FFD's generated by this behavior?

If you're confident they're identical and not actually slightly better version then yes, you can report the user and we'll take a closer look.
But depending on the images it's entirely possible that the files are better, and that it's simply hard to tell at a glance.
