We have a comm for effort posting. The point of the_dunk_tank is to present a post and say to everyone "hey look how silly this is, let's ridicule it." If someone is going to break down why a post is wrong it should go to c/effort. If someone is just screen-shotting an Elon tweet, that's not really effort, it's just ridiculing someone with influence. In that case, if we keep everything the same, rule 8 should be better worded as "Don't ridicule people who have no influence in broader society." This avoids making it all about upvotes/views and, I think, touches on the main concern of those who want rule 8.

So

  • Elon tweet with explanation of history/sociology/economics = c/effort
  • Elon tweet with chiding mockery = c/the_dunk_tank
  • pepehittler69 says something ridiculous = who cares?

or

  • Elon tweet with explanation or mockery = c/the_dunk_tank
  • pepehitler69 says something ridiculous = c/okaybuddydunk

Unless i don't see most of them, there's like 10-15 posts per day in dunk tank. Rule 8 would have sense if there was flood there, but there isn't, i would say it's opposite, 10 posts per day is shameful for terminally online nerds like we are considering the fucking stupid onion world out there.
