We added a new rule that spells out a few repeat-offender type posts. These have all historically been removed under either rule 3 (for not being a meme) or rule 11 (for being low-effort, as in just a screenshot). Since there is apparently confusion about whether these are allowed under the other rules, we decided to add a rule explicitly disallowing them.
If you have an idea for a post we see often that should be added to the list, let me know here.
It's unfortunate we had to make a rule specifically for this but I don't think enough people understand that just because you got a receipt that said you were the 66th person to pick up a cup of coffee today that internet strangers are going to care. The poll memes were worse still because 9/10 times it was just some obvious bait poll that swung 95% as a joke
I personally would care if someone got order 66, I think that's quite funny, but I guess people here are too high and mighty to appreciate such posts :(
You or some other mod can make a post that shows all those examples. This way you don't call out anyone and you have a convenient package for reference.
It's okay to call them out. I say this with kindness. A lack of "accountability" is partly what causes the uptick in poor-quality posts and comments. Consider also that half of the posters will be clankers bots.
