Editing an existing post when possible is good advice since it cuts down on the clutter.
And editing a post does not 'bump' the thread in the index.
As used at this site, Glorfindel has it correct, we call posting the same post content to more than a single thread "double posting".
Not just 'bumping' a thread.
Give the Internet another generation or two of users, and all of these terms will become standard usage - until then, well, a reader has to remain a bit flexible in the usage of terms from site to site.
