So, /r/memes did a poll. The exact numbers happen to be multiples of 10%, but ignore that.

  • 10% of users want the blackout to continue
  • 10% of users want the subreddit to open back up as normal
  • 80% of users want the subreddit to only allow Medieval / Landed Gentry themed memes.

Henceforth: “The title of the posts must include either of the words ‘Medieval’, ‘Landed’ or ‘Gentry’, and the meme must include medieval content/images, or include content that features text about Landed Gentry.”

Hear ye, hear ye, the people hath spoken.

    90 percent of Reddit users are casual lurkers with no account. Of the ten percent with accounts, 10 percent actually post content or even leave a comment.

    Driving away lurkers with stupid content is a solid strategy

      Are they lurkers or just people who arrived from Google in search of an answer to a specific question? Because I doubt stupid content has much effect on that kind of traffic.
