Community Governance Poll - Only allow media posts on the weekends
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>As many of you know the rules around posting media (including memes) were recently changed. </p> <p>The old rule allowed for two COMEDY flaired posts during the week and five COMEDY flaired posts on the weekends. The issue with this is that people started realizing that if they just flaired their post anything except COMEDY they could bypass the bot, and it started to create a lot of work for mods to go reflair many posts per day. Not only did it create extra work, it started to introduce a lot of judgment calls the mods had to make in determining exactly what was COMEDY for image macro posts.</p> <p>The current rule allows only four media posts (imgur, <a href="https://redd.it">redd.it</a>, gyfcat, etc.) to be in the top 25 posts at all times. This eliminates the issue of people misflairing their posts and also eliminates mod judgment calls, however, it has resulted in people trying to game this new system by just spamming images until they get one to stick.</p> <p>This proposal would eliminate the current rule and just allow for free for all meme/image/gif posting on the weekends, and zero media posts during the week.</p> <p>If this proposal fails, we will likely start to enforce the one post per domain per 24 hour rule on <a href="https://redd.it">redd.it</a> and other media outlets, which is currently really only enforced on news domains. This would mean that even if the cryptomods bot removes your image post, you can't post from same domain for 24 h or you will get at least a 7 day ban.</p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/poll/jig33s">View Poll</a></p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> Kind Regards R
