There was never any consensus on what constituted a"low-effort meme". Everyone had different opinions on what that was. I remember for a while the mods needed a hands-off approach to any type of low-effort posts and were bombarded with requests to"deal with all the spam". While that is a great point, the principle has been enforced. Failing to think of consistant guidance is not preventing that from happening. All it's doing is making it tougher for players to comprehend how to adhere to the rules.
When someone has their post removed and does not really comprehend whythey feel they have been singled out because similar articles are left alone, they are less likely to invest some time into premium quality articles later on. This really works directly against the goal!Mods usually need guidance as far as customers do. It actually makes their job easier because they could quickly look at a post and instantly ascertain whether it warrants action, and a user can understand what warranted action. That brings up a excellent point of discussion.
Where do you guys think the line should be drawn for memes?Allow all memes?Remove all of memes?Remove low-effort memes. . . and should you choose this option what is an objective way to ascertain if a meme is low-effort? Personally I'd vote for option 3 at which low-effort memes are defined as anything with no runescape vision and less than two runescape-related sentences. With those guidelines this"Let me in!!!" Meme would be regarded as low work. But the 2 articles that were removed by mods would nevertheless be allowed.
If this were a rule you could wind up using formats that are most meme with a bit of added effort. This scroll of truth meme about ruby bolts would be allowed whereas that scroll of truth meme would be considered non effort, rather than allowed. But there's never been consistent guidance from anybody, including the mods themselves. In cases like this, I'd definitely simply scrap the principle entirely because people need some kind of moderation within this area, but that doesn't work. But how much? This is where things get muddy.
