a protected/protector smut meme was already posted last week. don't think we need both.

We are a little bit more lenient when it comes to similar memes if they work with a different categories - Ie. shipping vs gen vs smut. There were some that used to alternate weeks, as a week is our usual timefrace of spacing them out.

Thanks for bringing it up though

Sa sorry, that sounded bad lol. not to criticize the mods hard work or anything like that, we appreciate you guys. ♥️ I've just been feeling very frustrated with the sameyness of the memes posted to the community lately and I'm curious what the general temperature is for everyone else

I'm certainly open to setting one up at a later date.

(Probably not this weekend given Jul 1 through 4 have several national holidays)

please don't. bakerstreet isn't a game and doesn't need the kind of modding that people seem to feel entitled to. banning problematic players and moderating the repeat memes is one thing. the complaints on anon comms lately is all about memes that people don't like being too repetitive and too samey, but the only answer to that is 'delete them', which isn't going to put better memes in place of it. they seem to feel like if it's not on the first page, it doesn't exist, and that's showing the entitlement, imo.

it's an open comm that should continue to remain open to as many people as possible. that means that people aren't going to like certain percentages of things, because it's not moderated for them. as long as no rules are being broken, which most of the time, they aren't, the problem really lays with people demanding things that they are capable of finding/posting themselves. someone complaining that there's not enough (b) memes when they hate (a) memes, if they delete or limit all the (a) memes and don't bother to do anything to post (b) memes, there's not going to be the memes they specifically want to play with and they're just going to complain about how stale it is.

the point of this comm is public and limited moderation. there's nothing wrong with scrolling or (gasp) going to the second page to find more memes. moderation isn't going to 'fix' the comm. it wouldn't hurt if meme posters themselves stopped just throwing things up out of spite or without seeing what's up already (that includes going back a page or two to see if they're breaking the rules), but considering how easy it is to subvert being banned as a meme poster (make a new journal, post the same memes).

sorry. i guess i'm just tired of seeing complaints about things that are more preferential (whining about not liking the popular memes as if they're taking up space/play for them) as opposed to actual rules being broken or them doing anything to fix it themselves and just lumping it all on 'the mods' as a fault instead of just realizing that one comm isn't the place to depend on for all their rp needs and if they're relying on it for that, that's a them problem.

I am thinking specifically along the lines of previous discussion posts: https://bakerstreetmods.dreamwidth.org/952.html

Where there are places for people to point out things they aren't enjoying, as well as talk about memes they want to play, or ideas they have which may have for memes. It may help meme posters see what people would like to play, and then post/create them.

Which I don't think is a bad thing.

actual rules are being broken when people post identical memes with different titles. it's worth discussion. if you don't want to discuss it, don't.
