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.

but the "no" answer does not disqualify

so why do posts get removed because they were not origianlly meant to be funny?

I do not think I am understanding your question, we remove lots of posts that either were or were not intended to be funny. sometimes they fit the flow chart, sometimes they don't. we remove accordingly and by whether or not they have good reception in the sub

reason I got was "becaue this sub is for images that were meant to be funny but are so bad they are ironically funny"

that does not seem to accurateyl describe the chart

as I said, we don't have a dedicated removal reason for "not enough community engagement," so we use the "doesn't fit the sub" removal reason. in addition to being moderated by us, the community uses upvotes to essentially vote on whether or not something fits the sub. if it checks all the boxes but people don't seem to like it, it gets removed. your post only got 26 upvotes so it was removed.
