There is an image which I had noted it is a repost while it was undergoing moderator approval, and got approved despite it. ( #54281 being a repost of #39833 )

I was wondering if the moderator approval was automatic, or something went wrong.

Additionally, I was wondering if we can put a repost tag on images which are reposts.

a repost tag would get too confusing, because if there is a repost, there would be two repost tags, and after the reposted-post is deleted, the original will still have the "repost" tag. it might accidentally deleted.

i would suggest, that if you see a repost, make a comment about it that says something like

repost
(link to original post)

then flag it for deletion, reason "repost"

I notice, however, that posts can't actually get flagged for deletion until after they're approved.

wait until it's approved then, it's not like reposts are destroying the site. sorry if that sounded condescending.

What? There'd only be a repost tag on the original if someone intentionally put it there.

I guess you could make a pool for reposts to avoid using tags. Link it here if you do that, and make it a public one!

Setting the parent field means that child tags get copied to the parent when the moddy deletes a child. So set a parent-child relationship too before you flag, and make the parent is the higher-res copy (e621 resizes for display, so hi_res is fine).

I was assuming that (1) only the reposted image would have the reposted tag (like how we only post the "repost" comment on reposted images), and (2) they would get cleaned up during the process of deleting said image.

If you're going to the trouble of finding reposts for us, it really helps to speed up the process if you parent the repost to the original or to the higher-resolution version. Otherwise, I tend to gloss over those until I feel like resolving it properly.
