When that rule was made this sub was basically spammed with the Keaneu what if meme rehashed over and over. I'm pretty sure that's what the mods mean when they said no meme's. if you want to overgeneralize every image as a meme it's silly. A meme is simply an idea, EVERYTHING is literally a meme.
I think the rule should just be clarified that original works, political cartoon/statements and infographics should be allowed. Which they basically are as you can see they are not being deleted, but you need someone to write rules for you to figure this out.
what does that have to do with anything? iv had this account for a long time. all you have to do is see my history.
nice argument btw. is that how you win all your arguments? changing the subject? must be a woman.
Just the fact that this needs reiterating, even though it's in the sidebar, really says something. And memes have their own place, with link provided. Carry on.
I appreciate all of you trying to direct people to /r/ConspiracyMemes. I recently started moderating it. I would like to make it a place where everyone can laugh in a relaxed, non-serious environment. Thank you all very much.
so memes are a conspiracy now? nah, we dont need news stories or anything like that, lets nudge them out with a dumbass pic of keanu reeves. great way to lower the bar for intelligent discourse.

i understand exactly what you are saying, but the occasional meme, if it is of the highest caliber, can facilitate excellent discussion.

As a response and as a comment i agree.
As a post submission it is sliding and circlejerking.

Me too. It only takes a second or two to look at one. There are some very good ones people have posted.

go to r/adviceanimals then. lets reserve this sub for news related stories, shall we?

Sometimes memes provoke interesting and informative conservations in the comments.
1 amazingGOB 2013-05-12
conservations huh? from my perspective, they just dumb down the sub by nudging out actual news. thanks for proving my point.

Is your account viral marketing for the new Arrested Development season?

Indeed, sir.

That's more of a political statement not a meme.
