Are we allowed to post memes?

[Koko Ricky]

I've noticed an inconsistency with how memes are handled here; It can result in a shitpost warning, or it can go completely unnoticed. In order to discourage unwanted behavior, I think it would be nice if we could clarify this since it's not really outlined in the rules. So it's probably not a bad idea to establish exactly what kind of memes are/are not appropriate to post. Purely textual memes seem to be harmless, but I haven't been able to gauge image macros. Is it as matter of excess, size or content, or ought it be avoided all together?

There's a random image thread that would be a catch all. I think there was some sort of Doom meme thread a year or so ago.

Right, and one could assume that's a safe spot for meme dumping, but I've noticed a lot of examples of image macros being used elsewhere, and for the life of me cannot figure out whether that's kosher.

Probably the only place image macros are appropriate is when a thread has already gone to shit and is about to be locked.

please don´t

 

EDIT: The internet is overflowing with memes and assorted nonsense content. Let's keep DW free from that.

You can only post hella dank DOOM related may mays.

I think posting memes requires a good sense for the "meta meme climate" as to know what memes will fly and which ones will illicit the ire of the mods.

Guessing is fun, though.

On a serious note, it's safe to assume that most of 4chan, reddit and twitter wouldn't fly on here.
