I honestly don't think it'll stay like this for 'a bit.' Once new rules are in the OP, they're here to stay.
We've been through this already, like, come the **** on (this isn't meant to be at you). 2 users were banned; I (we, for the better word) can't talk about them. Yes, they did help make this place more active, but in the end, ****posts were deemed inappropiate enough to infract people. Whether it was or wasn't fun to people doesn't really matter when the rules are there.
I don't mean to hate how this thread was handled in the past but I can't be the only one who didn't like this cycle:
****post → Random new topic → ****post → Random new topic → Go back to ****posting.
Generalization, I know, but it is what it is. When I say ****posting, memes are included too. The mods simply wanted this to be a normal social thread, not a circus. "Circus" was what this thread was since the very beginning. Are we clowns now?
This kind of whining is getting old.
