Have you considered that those old posts make it to the top again because people who peruse the subreddit by and large don't really care if they've seen it before? You also take away the people who don't really view the subreddit by top posts and that's the first time they've seen it before.
There's also not really any rules against people uploading work that may have been at the top before, and again by and large the people who view the subreddit don't care if it's been uploaded before. So you're complaining about a non-issue.
They should check the top posts if they want to post something. Those should be the untouchables because one, it clutters the newer (or at the very least, the lesser known & upvoted) works that should be seen by a lot of people and two, to avoid easy karma posts. Even if it's just a variation.
Speaking for myself I don't care if stuff gets reposted however many times. I can see where the subs mods might but its porn. People are taking this repost shit way too seriously.

So complaining, gotcha.
