[And people that host their fics on a non feeding site, normally mirror on another site.

[True.

[So if someone wants to have a "New Stories" thread. They're free to make it.
[Nope, no effect there

If strat hadn't suggested it I would have. However may I suggest that if the update has multiple chapters of the same story then the author shouldn't put a link for each individual chapter but should just, instead, post one link for the story as a whole?
I also have no problem with an author posting a link to one of his fics in a search thread if it fits the criteria for a search (in fact it seems kind of silly, to me, if they didn't).
Linking to the story as a whole makes more sense, but I don't think it needs to be formalized into a rule.
The following has been updated to chapter XX.
SERIES/CROSSOVER 'TITLE' by AUTHOR - [Status=STATUS] - [Last Dld=DATE] - [Size=SIZE]
- [LINK TYPE] LINK
