Gregory's Server@Gargron I think this is a generally good move, but I hope this rule doesn't accidentally ban memes.

@Gargron I was hoping that was the case and it was targeted at artwork and the like. Thanks for the clarification!

@Gargron @bigzaphod I hope the actual rule is phrased differently from your recap of it here, then. Because saying all content crested by others must be attributed does ban memes, and lots of other things, no matter the intention behind it.

@forteller @bigzaphod It's not a magic spell that will automatically prevent you from posting memes. It just gives us wiggle room to moderate reported content.

@Gargron Rules needs to say what they are actually meant to say. If not that is when they are like a "magic spell" that anyone with power (mods) can interpret to go after the ones they want to go after and not go after those they don't want to. If you know what you want to ban then just write exactly that, if you don't know talk with people and work it out. Please. @bigzaphod    |
@bigzaphod Memes are not the target of this rule. There's quite an obvious difference between a meme and someone reposting someone else's artwork without credit.
