Although the concept of downvote as a mirror of an upvote makes sense, its actual use is just a tool for the disturbed people who actually use it. You can tell that they enjoy using their power. Your reasons for reposting were completely valid (it was your own content!!!). The apology post is another reason to believe there is a serious psychological problem and power issue, they want you to submit, they probably enjoy those posts too.

It is a massive power trip for them.
I witnessed what was done to @darth-azrael, it was disgusting. They used some arbitrary "rule" against "self-plagiarism" to come after him. I would understand if someone posts literally the same post day after day, but a post from years ago? How do they even figure that out? What kind of boring lives do they have to dig that deep into someone's account?
If the post is your own property, there is no plagiarism. By definition, you cannot plagiarize yourself
They claim it's posting your own photo or text again. Like I said, I can see posting literally the same thing everyday being considered abuse, but "plagiarism"? That is laughable. But using a photo for a series of posts? Or posting the same text for different photos? I can see them stretching it. It's insane.
