Bringing back the Memes section?

I'm not sure why it got removed after the last forum update last year-ish, but wondering if anyone else is interested in that section getting brought back.

EDIT: some extra suggestions to bring back the section:
  • Adding specific rules to avoid troll/clickbait thread could affect other sections like the Marketplace threads.

  • Modifying the posts and bytes per post/thread in that section to avoid bytes farming.



I will update the list with any other suggestion i think of or someone about.

Pretty sure it got removed because some people (me) couldn't handle that kind of power.
I only do deals onsite through PM's/Contracts.
I do not use Discord, or Skype, or talk to members offsite whatsoever.

lmao why? was it because of all the clickbait thread that made people think it's a thread in another section other than the memes? if so, i think some rules could be added like not faking marketplace related threads or stuff like that.

It was removed due to massive amount of lqp/shitposting/spam. Today it'd be used to farm bytes uncontrollably unless post count/bytes count is disabled in that forum.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!

No. People used it to boost their post count (and now it'd be used to boost bytes) too much and it was just shitposts.

to be honest that's not a bad idea! Or maybe at least cut the bytes per post/thread to %50 in that section?

HF memes you say?

if such a section was added, bytes and post count shouldnt count. also there should be rules in place to prevent certain types of troll threads
What if the section got added back, but disabled post count/bytes from posting there?
Also, there could be a setting to auto-purge the threads after a certain amount of time.

This would be good for members to allocate their shitty memes to a section that doesn't matter, rather than spewing them all over the forum.

i just updated the OP with the common suggestion that would make that section better. Hopefully it comes back.

I have so many memes I have wanted to make about you recently - you would have died laughing. I just couldn't post them anywhere.
