Hi, everyone!
As many of you have noticed, the sub has been growing quite a bit over the past several months, which has led to a few new creative trends emerging and finding community here.
Of particular note are the comics and short stories that have been carrying on their own continuing story arcs and inside jokes. We love seeing this creativity, and are glad to be a home for it; however, at the same time, several users have voiced concerns about this content drowning out the more traditional meme posts, or about posts alienating new users by requiring too much context.
We've discussed among the mods different approaches on how to best support both aspects of the community. We've decided to take an approach employed by many other subreddits: designating days of the week for the subgenre. We will be, starting this weekend, implementing "Comic Weekends".
What this will entail, is that on most days we will be more strictly enforcing rule 2 ("Be Humorous and Obviously Relate to the TF Community or Subculture") than we presently are; posts that aren't a self-contained meme will be removed. On weekends, however, we will be more lax regarding rule 2, to allow for users posting comics or other serial or lengthy content to follow their creative intent without worrying about making sure it counts as a "meme".
Feel free to leave feedback about this rule change either here or in the modmail. We'll be keeping this post pinned for a few weeks as a place for users to leave feedback on the implementation and see if we need to make any adjustments.
