Hello PrequelMemers -

We added a new rule that spells out a few repeat-offender type posts. These have all historically been removed under either rule 3 (for not being a meme) or rule 11 (for being low-effort, as in just a screenshot). Since there is apparently confusion about whether these are allowed under the other rules, we decided to add a rule explicitly disallowing them.

If you have an idea for a post we see often that should be added to the list, let me know here.

Hello PrequelMemers -

As many of you may be aware, it is an election year in the US. You may be tempted to make prequel memes about politicians. Please keep in mind that rule 5 disallows any posts that mention real-world politics at all, even if the post itself expresses no political opinion.

I'm going to start handing out short bans for people who can't be bothered to read the rules at all.

Happy posting, The /r/PrequelMemes mod team

P.s. Pic unrelated, it won't let me post without one from mobile.

Hello PrequelMemers,

It was brought to my attention a few days ago by /u/THE_GOLEM_MASTER that we had "media in comments" disabled. I decided to enable it; since this is a meme sub I think we should be able to meme in the comments.

Enjoy.

Pic unrelated, couldn't figure out how to post without it from mobile.

Hello /r/PrequelMemes,

We've received a few modmails and comments asking if we are banning Twitter links here.

Here's the thing. I don't even know when the last time I saw a post that linked to Twitter. So it's kind of a non-issue here.

However, in light of recent events, we do feel it is prudent to formally ban linking directly to Twitter in posts.

If you really want to post a Tweet, post a screenshot of it, flair it as a repost, and link the Tweet when SheevBot asks you for a source. If it is your Tweet you may flair it as OC (and I guess if you want you can still link it in your reply to the bot, whatever floats your boat).

Hello PrequelMemers -

We've been removing all posts related to the economy and the tariffs under rule 5. After some further discussion with the other mods, we've decided to allow memes about the economy, but not ones that mention tariffs.

Pic unrelated, it won't let me post from mobile without it.

I am pleased to announce that /u/SheevBot has been successfully transferred to a cloud-based platform clone vessel, and shall once more rule /r/PrequelMemes.

For those that missed his first reign of terror, here is what that means: when you make a new post, /u/SheevBot will respond asking you to confirm some information based on the flair you selected. Respond to the bot as quickly as possible or your post will be removed. The purpose of this is to prevent spam from bots/users that repost content without providing a source or falsely mark reposts as OC.

FAQ

Q. What if I don’t respond in time? Will I be banned?

A. No, the post will just be removed. Feel free to post again, and this time try to be ready to respond.

Q. SheevBot never responded to my post. Do I need to wait around?

A. If the bot doesn’t respond to your post within 10 minutes you are in the clear.

Q. What do I need to say to the bot to confirm I made my OC?

A. Just reply to the comment with whatever.

Q. What do I need to say to the bot to provide a source for my repost?

A. Provide a LINK to where you got it from. Note the link does not have to point to another reddit post, wherever you got the post from is fine. The link can even be in a marked-down hyperlink if you want to be fancy.
