I really love the concept of this place, according to the specific vision laid out in the sidebar. It’s a damn fertile premise, with loads of fun to be had, methinks. :D

Now, sometime back, I noted that it had been falling in to obscurity, and figured that I’d make an effort to help get it going again, according to FlyingSquid’s et al original vision. Cool. So in the past two months I’ve been working to build up my ‘out of context’ folder of panels and figure out what the hell to title them as… something which can be surprisingly tricky to pull off! Cool. Across that time I’ve also posted just under two-dozen funnies here. All good?

Unfortunately, and I really don’t know WTF is going on with all that… people are now posting shizzle here that directly breaks multiple rules of the community, and others are upvoting such shizzle to the max, and TBH-- I guess that’s cool and all, but I’m just not interested in such low-effort crap. Me, I’m here for the original spirit of the community, but I guess many are not? Fine.

Now, if you REALLY must know upon an egregious example?

“Hofmaimaier@feddit.org,” fake name used by @nichehervielleicht@feddit.org:
https://piefed.social/c/outofcontextcomics/p/1953797/bill-is-right

Obviously breaks RULE #1, and to a lesser extent, RULES #2 and #3.

And YET people here upvote that low-effort crap? Okay, got it. Fine. Big part of why I’m going to need a long vacation from this project.

Now do I sound bitchy and uncool upon all that? Absolutely, fluffing-yes. But damn it, I thought I’d tried.

    Hi! There was a comic in the beginning of this comm that was about jesus like this, and everyone figured it was fake. But no, it was a real comic. A little hesitant to pull the zombie jesus post because of that reason.

    Use the report option on anything you feel is outside of this comms scope. sometimes things slip or RL gets in the way and mods don’t see everything.

      Appreciate that, TT; I really do.

      But the example cited is NOT of that ilk.

      Reporting is good, I get it, but the painful reality is that all listed mod accts here are largely defunct, other than yours, occasionally. The point (as I see it) is still to figure out the mission of this place, state it clearly, then use community modding tools to encourage the stated rules.

      I.e.-- that weirdo post should never have needed the report button in the 1st place.

      I hate bitching upon this stuff, but… sometimes that’s how this shizzle goes? Unfortunately, I’m simply not available at this time to mod another community, but maybe someone here wants to step up to make the sidebar rules relevant again…?

        Like i said, there will be times I’m not here. Just use the report option even if you think it’s obvious. I appreciate it.

        Keep submitting too

          Absolutely not.

          I did my best, and you can do whatever you want to upon my efforts. Maybe in half a year I’d be willing to revisit this shitshow of a failing premise. That’s up to you, though.
