Where do we post political memes?

Can we get a concise definition of what a banned meme is? I do not find the TOS to be all that helpful here.

After discussion among the BARF Admins, we're going to use this as a guideline:
A meme is a piece of digital media—typically an image, short video clip, GIF, or altered piece of text—that uses humor, satire, ironies, or pop culture references to communicate an opinion, mock someone, or comment on public policy, or current events. NOTE: This definition may shift over time.

We do not want to be drawn into a discussion on when meme is political or isn't, so the PSink policy is being clarified & refined to "No memes are allowed in the PSink."

Outside of the PSink is not able to be black and white. I was hoping that the warnings that were handed out would help people see how they were being interpreted by the moderators. Maybe some saw it that way, some did not. I can list hundreds of things that would make a meme political, someone would find something that wasn't on the list and cry 'foul' for being suspended (or even warned).

Further clarification: A meme with an explanation, is still a meme. A meme including additional images, is still a meme. A linked meme, is a meme. Posts including memes will be removed from public view and the poster will be suspended on an as yet to be determined sliding scale.

l think many will agree that the perfect definition of 'Meme', a definition that everyone will agree on, is not possible. There may be a time when an individual will feel that they did not post a meme, and the Admins will disagree. In these cases, the Admin's decision will stand. To avoid this we encourage members to avoid the appearance of a meme. If there is the slightest doubt, don't post the image.

That's not why the policy was created (and existed). You know this Chris. A meme about a cute baby squirrel invokes a very different reaction from a political one. Almost all the TOS ruleset is aimed at governing a fair, equal, and productive (WRT communications) forum. Squabbling about politics is the worst a forum has to offer.

That's baloney but I'm not going to argue about it here.

I've never understand the "I don't like that, so nobody else can do it either" mentality. It seems the "adult" thing would be to call out a post you don't like, state the reason why, and then move on.

Or ignore the post entirely, or the thread for that matter.
