Some of you probably notice the meme thread is closed.
It will remain closed.
The thread was started as lighthearted fun and became a cesspool of politics, violence, misogyny, and delusional pictures that aren’t even memes.
So from now on, if a meme is funny or relevant to a topic, that’s fine and allowed- as long as it is within rules.
But there will not be a new dedicated meme thread for a while. We (the team) will revisit that topic later on.

Boo! Hiss…
I understand your position, but I just want to express my opposition formally and politely…
Your site, your rules. If I don’t like it I can go elsewhere. (I know)

@labratmat , I get it. It’s just…do we babysit and delete over and over? Or just shut it down.
@Ooorgle started it in good fun. It’s nothing like it was.

Then those posting shouldn’t act like children.
This is a support forum, not a meme dump. There’s plenty of those on the net.
N/m. I see you deleted.
Was once a beautiful place, triggers were respected, nothing past pg-13, jovial light hearted humor.
At the most I had 8.9k likes on a single thread.
It was a different time. Different crew. But it’s dead now, ruined and corrupted. A fallen empire.
I’m not sad to see it go, it became the opposite of the original vision.

Interesting - never knew what went on in that thread.
It’s really sad that we’ve had to close such a long standing thread because of a few members.
It was not fun to see it go off the rails.

People will probably pollute the affirmations topic with them, especially since the distinction between the two appears to be lost on many.
Harumph.

Sorry, but that one has to close as well. No meme threads at all. It’s sad, but we have to do them all.
At some point can you consider a policy of just banning the handful of idiots?

You know that we can’t permaban unless it’s bad bad.
No no no, just the forum equivalent of an arseful of Haldol and several days in the Quiet Room.

Ha! Well, that’s probably what will happen.

@shutterbug the combination of relief and frustration when you no longer have access to the deleted posts that caused a thread to be locked.

I’m okay without seeing them - I get enough dumb in my life at work so I don’t need more.

Yeahhh the meme threads kinda devolved to a deranged dystopia.
I don’t blame yall for not wanting to deal with them anymore.
I will miss the good parts of it though.

I suppose everyone can get back to moaning and complaining 24/7 now with no distractions…

When people can use it without breaking the rules, it’ll be back.
