Isn't there a way to resteem something old with a command line interface at least? If not, what is the exact cutoff for when something is "too old to resteem" and how was that decided and enforced?
Seems like a really bad decision. What does the age of a post have to do with whether or not we should be able to repost it? This sucks.
I can't help you with the command line. As soon as the post gets its payout you cannot resteem it, so 7 days.
This is the type of choices that emphasizes the money over the content and the community.
