I see that many links were posted to like 5 times, 8 times, 11 times. What are the rules around reposts? On one hand I see these classics being reposted again

I see that many links were posted to like 5 times, 8 times, 11 times. What are the rules around reposts?
On one hand I see these classics being reposted again and again. But on the other hand we also see some posts marked [dupe]. What are the rules? What is allowed to stay and what is marked as [dupe]?

Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates. > >Please don't delete and repost the same story. Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been submitted in the first place.
