What's with "rule" being in titles?
What's with "rule" being in titles?
I've noticed a lot of posts that have the word "rule" added to it even when it doesn't seem to make sense. Sometimes I've even seen titles with only the word "rule". Anyone know what it's about?
Posts from communities such as 195 or 196 have one rule - you must post before you leave. As a result, they have a lot of low-quality shitposts with just ‘rule’ as the title - as in, ‘I’m only posting this to follow the rule’.
Click through to the community the post comes from and have a read of its sidebar if the content is confusing you; this might help illuminate why you’re seeing what you’re seeing.
There was a community on the old site called 196, where the only “rule” was that you had to post something before leaving. It leaked over here because of a few splinter communities here popping up on the All feed, but if you look closer most of those posts will be to various 196 communities.
In other words, it’s not actually an enforceable rule, just one of those social things that pop up.
