True, but you are playing stupid. We can infer largely based on the rules that the forums exist for the support and enjoyment of the users and to perpetuate the main website. Anti spam rules exist to limit distracting threads. The SH forum ,however, has such low traffic it literally needs threads like this to survive. This isn't any ordinary low effort shit post we are talking about here. If the thread is getting great engagement and bringing smiles to everyone there is no logical reason to report it. Rather you report out of either a dogmatic obsession with the rules or your own massive ego.
I reported a thread hijacking and noted that the thread itself might fall under spam rules... That's it.
I don't particularly care if you consider your thread as high-effort or not, nor do I care about how much engagement it brings from people... Stuff like politics also bring a lot of engagement, and those threads are against the rules too and get locked once reported.
If you think there shouldn't be rules against hijacking, then you can try explaining your case to Tony and see if he changes the rules to accomodate that. Until then I'm not gonna stop reporting hijacks.
Seriously, I don't dislike shitposting. I actually think it's fun and it can give me some giggles depending on how it is made... Just make sure you don't break any rules and make it on the appropriate subforums and you're good. The mods don't have anything against shitposting either, yanno? As long as it doesn't break the rules, it's fine.
I had the idea in mind for a while after seeing so many threads moved whenever Alice popped up.
*giggles* I don't think I'm that rough about it though! xD
... I mean, I don't even comment when I report stuff usually. I just so happened to comment because people were wondering what had happened... >.>
