The title speaks for itself. There should be a warning similar to the one in #tech-general regarding memes

Wait, you can't?

Yeah this is weird

old epoch

Yeah, it should atleast be mentioned, as i presumed the rule was "no memes in #tech-general "

#

Gifs are said to be allowed in every channel if ontopic. Memes are not allowed in #tech-general

#

Also the copypasta thing is weirder

#

Why allow copypasta?

#

That is a meme

Spam is allowed in #urandom for no good reason too

Not all gifs are memes. Gifs are just another video format

#

Emojis are more analogous to gifs in use

#

Emojis are allowed

#

But the vast, vast majority of the time, and even then, if gifs are completely banned, it dosent matter if they are ontopic or not

I see people use that all the time

#

This whole meme rule is weird

Well it wouldn't do any code right?

Still, my original statement stands, i think either a. the general rules should be more clear or b. there should be a warning about banned content in every channel description that it applies to or c. both

rule 1b outright says no off-topic gifs or memes, and the automod message also clarifies that. I don't see why I need to put something as minor as gifs not being allowed in every single channel description.

"Off-topic gifs"

The or is separating gifs from memes
