I really love the concept of this place, according to the specific vision laid out in the sidebar. It’s a damn fertile premise, with loads of fun to be had, methinks. :D

Now, sometime back, I noted that it had been falling in to obscurity, and figured that I’d make an effort to help get it going again, according to FlyingSquid’s et al original vision. Cool. So in the past two months I’ve been working to build up my ‘out of context’ folder of panels and figure out what the hell to title them as… something which can be surprisingly tricky to pull off! Cool. Across that time I’ve also posted just under two-dozen funnies here. All good?

Unfortunately, and I really don’t know WTF is going on with all that… people are now posting shizzle here that directly breaks multiple rules of the community, and others are upvoting such shizzle to the max, and TBH-- I guess that’s cool and all, but I’m just not interested in such low-effort crap. Me, I’m here for the original spirit of the community, but I guess many are not? Fine.

Now, if you REALLY must know upon an egregious example?

“Hofmaimaier@feddit.org,” fake name used by @nichehervielleicht@feddit.org:
https://piefed.social/c/outofcontextcomics/p/1953797/bill-is-right

Obviously breaks RULE #1, and to a lesser extent, RULES #2 and #3.

And YET people here upvote that low-effort crap? Okay, got it. Fine. Big part of why I’m going to need a long vacation from this project.

Now do I sound bitchy and uncool upon all that? Absolutely, fluffing-yes. But damn it, I thought I’d tried.

    I like most of what you posted. I also don’t like some of the pictures posted by some other contributors and I agree with you: they are not in the spirit of the community. But like I was saying, they can honestly be mistaken and hopefully they can learn.

    Oi mate, you seem like someone on the surface who seeks understanding at some level, perhaps diplomatically or for other interesting reasons, and I can certainly respect that, but HAIL NO- that was some needlessly-repetitive, low-effort shizzle that I highlighted right there. I.e. directly careless of the founding points of this community, as painstakingly laid out by the Dude, highlighted more than once by me matey.

    And really, that doesn’t even tell the tale. Meaning, that it’s all very well (and I certainly don’t consider myself some posting genius) that I tried to carry on the spirit of the community for awhile, and that none of this wannabe drama really matters in the slightest. XD

    Eh, bonne chance pour tout ça, ami, et tu sais où… hehe, me trouver, n’est-ce pas ?
