The Enter Introduction: FAQs, Guidelines (PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST) UPDATE 2 -

Why are we even discussing this? Any post featuring only a reaction image or video should be removed on the grounds of being a shitpost.

Well, to be fair they do have a purpose: to incite a laugh, and a lot of time it succeeds in that goal.

Mostly they're just useless and contribute nothing to the conversation, the definition of a shitpost.

Image reaction spamming is part of why this subforum has a bad reputation and some users consider it "the kiddy section".

I think I've seen image/videos on other forums as well. Although I doubt though about there being that many. Anyway every single post being a reaction image wouldn't be good, but if placed correctly people can laugh.

If a post is nothing but a reaction image/video though, it's completely worthless. The forum's rating system does a pretty good job of letting you react to other users. If you're reacting to content brought up in a post, but you can only come up with a reaction image instead of something to discuss then you're probably not saying something that needs to be said.

Can't argue with that. The reason I think people do that is for extra lulz, but yeah, it doesn't really contribute much to discussion.

I think reaction images are okay for as long as you also have something else to say beyond that, but yeah just posting reaction images can be pointless.

People, save your reaction vids and pics for imageboards. We are a forum meant for discussion, not a forum for "i got a day off from elementary and i'm gonna shitpost jontron gifs."

 

[chimpburgers]

Basically if it contributes nothing of value to the discussion, then it shouldn't be there. I'm a firm believer of everything in moderation.

Many of the reaction images/gifs aren't even funny so I see no reason to have them here.

 

[Simplicity111]

Also how long would a post have to last before a double post be considered justifiable @Alan Pardew ? You didn't specify.

I say probably at least 24 hours, since at that point the thread you're probably bumping with the second post is probably close to be swept to the 2nd page of this subforum.

Good idea. Thank you for answering.

Honestly, if we're going to talk about this, I think this should be a rule for the fourms as a whole. Not just Enter's turf.

 

[José Mourinho]

I think we can all agree with what @The Jumping Dwarf said: Posts that feature just only reaction images/videos and without any decent elaboration should be removed as they are shitposts.

I'll update this OP very soon.

Also @Alan Pardew , if I have suggestions/ideas for this subforum is it ok if I PM you with those?

Go ahead, but you can suggest them to @Null too since I suggested some ideas to him as well.

I'd rather people talk to you first so you can tell me what's actually needed.
