    Whenever I see the same person reposting like that, I downvote all but whatever seems the highest voted or post in the most specific community. Reducing such spam is one of the values of the downvote IMO. Though unfortunately depending on where the community is hosted, the downvoting may or may not actually work.

    I see it as little different from downvoting someone posting the same comment in a thread. They’re simply not contributing to making the site better and in fact are actively making it worse. I don’t mind a single cross post so that they can use both a smaller community and a bigger, more general one, but take issue when they’re posting to a dozen big communities (especially ones that most people are likely subscribed to anyway). To anyone who does this, I wag my finger at you.
