Rule 8 is to stop people posting every random dipshit with a bad opinion
Right. Why is it desirable to stop that? That's what the dunk tank is for. And limiting it to posting only random dipshits with bad opinions who happen to have high follower count is supposed to improve the quality how?
and it's rarely enforced either
IDK what to tell you comrade thats just not an accurate description of reality
Your contention is that the rule has never been explained, but in actuality its purpose is quite clear.
I don't know, to me explaining a rule includes explaining why it is desirable to have the rule in place. It is very clear what the rule does, it disallows any content a mod arbitrarily decides was posted by someone who isn't famous enough. The question I want explained is why that content should be disallowed. And that is the question no one has answered.
Personally I really don't understand all of the hostility and smug satisfaction with which you guys are regarding simple confusion regarding a rule that no one has ever explained. Is it not normal to be dissatisfied with arbitrary rules that have no apparent benefit to anyone and make one's experience worse? If you're so smugly superior to caring about this rule, why are you posting about it in this thread and trying to make me feel like I'm being unreasonable?
It feels very mean-spirited and I really don't understand it. It really does feel like straight up trolling, like if the mods enforced the "main" rule outside of the main comm and anyone who asks why gets treated like we're the ones being silly. Of course your posts should have "main" in them, why should we allow low-quality posts that don't contain the word "main"
Frankly if you're getting your posts removed for violating the main rule that's just a skill issue I don't have that problem
The mods have explained why the main rule exists it's so that you don't post stuff that doesn't contain "main" what do you mean that isn't a good enough explanation
Why do people keep posting stuff that doesn't contain "main" it's getting really annoying
Why are you being such an obstinate ass, just get over the main rule stop bringing it up
What, will these hands ne'er be clean? No more o' that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with
this starting. Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand. Oh, oh, oh!
I mean I've pointed out the part that I feel is unexplained and I still feel that way. I'm sorry that you're apparently freaking the fuck out over someone on the internet having a different opinion than you. Have you considered that I have like 10 twitter followers and therefore my comments are low quality and you shouldn't be paying attention to them at all?

I post in the dunk tank all the time and I've literally never had a post removed for Rule 8
I'm going to say this may be a skill issue

I don't know what else to say but to wish you luck with your protracted people's war against the moderators of the_dunk_tank
