Hey guys, Rule 8 of this community calls out that it is okay to repost from Reddit (this rule preexisted my tenure here), but it seems to be pissing a lot of you off (and I get it too). Since it’s in the rules right now I can’t remove the posts so I am going to leave this post up for a few days to find out if you guys want to change rule 8 to prohibit reposting from Reddit. Personally I hate Reddit, but at the end of the day this community belongs to all of us. Let me know what you want to do and we’ll go with the community consensus.
Unless that repost is from the original poster on Reddit than I think it’s annoying. Why should I comment on a post when the OP isn’t even here to participate?
That’s an excellent point. If the purpose of this community is discussion then reposts are harmful to that since for this community especially it’s going to be a lot of clarifying questions about a given picture, etc.
