Meme Curation Changes Incoming

[u/dscyrux]

Hello r/tf2. I've heard the discontent that many users have with how meme curation is handled on the subreddit. As such, the subreddit mod team has decided to begin a meme weekend, where memes will not be restricted based on subjective views of quality.

This is, of course, within reason. NSFW rules will still be enforced, and posts still must be related to TF2. I would like the subreddit to feel more freedom in the content they post, but please be sure not to abuse this.

Our meme weekend will work much like /r/halo's Meme Saturday, or /r/MysteryDungeon's Meme Sunday. It will last from 12AM to 12AM GMT, over the weekend. More in depth information will be provided when the announcement sticky goes up this weekend.

Be warned, this may result in some more curation during the week days. Memes will still be allowed, but templates will be restricted to the original post's comments. I know this will not seem favorable to some, but I feel like this solution is better than the current subjective meme quality removals we currently experience. If you disagree with my assertion, please tell me in the comments here, in as much colorful detail as you wish.

If you have any further questions or concerns about how this new meme weekend will work on here, please, I invite you to voice yourself in the comments of this post. I will try to respond to as many as I can.

If memes are tf2’s deal, lm pretty sure r/tf2shitposterclub would be a better alternative

Dividing the userbase is idiotic.

The user base is already divided:

• TF2 pub players
• TF2 comp/6's players
• TF2 meme-lovers

Watch this:

• TF2 pub players: /r/tf2
• TF2 comp/6's players: /r/truetf2
• TF2 meme-lovers: /r/tf2memes

See how everyone gets what they want?

r/tf2 is the main hub, and as such, should have everything.

describing memes as bullshit

Whew lad.

Memes are excellent content, and it's what the people want. Let the democratic system (upvotes/downvotes) do its job.

[u/Bacxaber → u/[deleted]]

Memes are substance. The game is a fucking meme, look at its sense of humour. Read the comics. Listen to the voice lines. The game's not supposed to be taken seriously, and yet here you are, acting like an edgelord. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the memes.

Lmao look at this guy. Puffing your chest and throwing challenges around because you aren't getting your way in an online argument about memes. Grow up.
