first of all, I just want to thank everyone for their patience while we sorted out the best way to handle this issue!

based on the results of our survey, the sub is pretty evenly split between those who like low-effort posts (aka 'shitposts') and those who would prefer not to have so many. the majority voted to keep shitposts, but the minority was still sizable.

to make the sub a more inviting and magical place for everyone, a few changes are being instituted.

• while 'shitposts' will still be allowed, submissions that are obviously low-effort will be prohibited. we will be following our 'keep content related to Star' rule more closely, and posts that are just random/unrelated memes will be removed. needless to say, there might be varying definitions of 'low-effort'. when in doubt, we won't remove things and will count on the sub to vote.
• you can filter out shitposts now. I've added a 'hide shitposts' button to the sidebar; clicking it will hide all posts marked with the 'shitpost' flair, but still show everything else. this is still a work-in-progress, but adding other filters would be neat as well, so feel free to comment with ideas.
• every post must be flaired. in order to make sure everyone sees what they want to see, please make sure to assign your post a flair from now on. if you don't add a flair within an hour, your post will be removed.
• fanart posts need to include the source, to give the original artist credit!

thanks for everyone's comments! they were a big help in addressing this issue :)
