r/Piracy on Reddit is more of a meme subreddit. I've never seen any actual discussion or valuable information as I do on this community. Why is that?

If it's not currently a problem then I don't think we need to ban them. Having to remember a bunch of rules and worry about occasionally tripping one is annoying; and having an occasional stupid meme post isn't really the end of the world as long as they're not drowning out useful discussion. If it ever reaches the point where they are then of course things would be different, but that's not the case right now.

Sometimes it's better to ban things before they get out of hand than after, tends to be a lot less dramatic at least.
