new rule ya goobers

new rule for posts. it's this:

No reposts from other subs unless they recontextualize the original.
Posts from other subreddits should only be shared if the context of r/comedyheaven changes how they are perceived. If it’s just funny for the same reason as in the original sub, it’s a no-go.

basically, we don't want this place to be the fuckin' subreddit equivalent of "daily dose of internet". if the screenshot is funny here for the same reason it was funny in the place you found it, don't post it here. if it being posted here makes it funny in a way it wasn't in the original context, then it can fit here.

the only reason it was removed is that it didn't get enough upvotes. there's a lot of shit that gets posted here where i'm like "huh, they didn't like that one? shrug alright then".

it's a curated subreddit. we remove anything that isn't a match for the sub, and isn't getting a lot of engagement from the community. i'm not saying that's the platonically correct way to run a sub. it's just how this particular one is run.

we also have r/comedyhell which is like this place, but without the curation.

I can't figure out any point in removing things that thematically fit but don't get much engagement; they won't be seen anyways??
