Respectfully, this post exists to speak to the mods. It is up to them if "what did you eat" and "what snacks are you eating" are different enough to violate the 2 week rule.

I think having one person post it allows for consistency and reliability. It's not about ownership but responsibility for completion of a task without confusion around who is doing it. Apologies that writing in a rush made that unclear.

respectfully, having one person posting anything engages in possessive and territorial behavior over public memes, and that's a really bad mind set to have on a public comm and open site like dw. i don't know if you've been here for long, but 'claiming' a meme isn't the mood of how this place runs. people repost thing, or post similar but not quite things. getting upset about it is going to wind up causing you stress and it's going to sit poorly with a lot of other people because memes are open property once you post them.

you should also notice that your claimed memes aren't getting a lot of play, so throwing them up every two weeks and being territorial over it are likely going to just put you in that group where people ignore/scroll past because it's going to be considered a nuisance meme. let people miss your memes and not see them for a month or two so when they crop up, they maybe feel more inclined to tag them as opposed to slapping it up like clockwork and being ignored. food memes just aren't that popular, so there's no need for it to be something claimed or to be petty over.

it's not about being territorial dipshit, it's about the fact that the memes were practically the same and got posted one right after the other. you're missing the actual point

you're in the wrong thread, genius. this is about the food memes.
torine posted (tell me everything you ate yesterday in explicit detail) on the 14th of may.
someone else (no, not me) posted a 'what's your favorite snack/what ic foods do you have in canon to share) on the 20th.

yes, it's before 2 weeks, but it's also a) not the same meme or premise, and shouldn't be barred from being posted just because it has food in it. there are plenty of texting memes that get passes because they're frequent and popular and 'just different enough'. plenty of memes get complaints here because they're a little too similar. the ones that actually are get deleted, and rightfully so. but someone opting to post a meme that also has to do with food isn't stepping on someone's toes, and the tone of torine was that only one person should get to post a food thing every 2 weeks and it should be the same person because ~reasons.

that's some dousing logic there over the covered in blood meme or any other meme that someone tries to lay claim to. at least dousing only demanded they be the only one to post the covered in blood meme, not also saying that h/c or sick day memes were 'too similar so they should be removed'.

i get it, anon. we're getting flooded with morons coming in and seemingly trying to kill things off with oversaturation. but if you actually read the meme premises of both of them, you'd see the only similarity is 'food'. that's just not a good enough coverage to say that only one meme is allowed. we're not doing the highlandering shit.

Hey now, if y'all can't speak to one another politely I will freeze this thread. Just because you're anonymous doesn't mean you can resort to namecalling when someone disagrees with you.
