What rules did it break ? <| sep |> i understood <| sep |> Oh you ' re 12 now I see . <| sep |> This isn ' t a joke . This is a Secretary of State Position . <| sep |> your fuck retarded eating steak <| sep |> What kind of loser steals a cart . <| sep |> Honestly , I ' m totally opposed to making a rule like this , for a bunch of reasons . My top two are the same as uSummerie mentioned , but there are a couple of others . First , As Summerie says , enforcement . If we made a rule like this , who would enforce it ? Our mods aren ' t active , and yet we ' re still pretty civilized . While a well modded community is nice , there ' s something very positive about muacj right now the animals are in charge of the zoo , but we ' re pretty good at making sure that the feces we fling doesn ' t splash too hard on other subs . Comments that include negativity like bodyshaming or racism get downvoted . If we put a rule like this in place , without active mods , we ' d end up policing each other ' s posts in a totally different way and I don ' t see anything good coming of that . Second , content quality . Like Summerie says , I ' d be concerned that we ' d be encouraging meangirlism . As much as other subs like to call us mean girls or just say that we ' re dumb jealous bitches , I do think that , while our humor is admittedly pretty lowbrow , there isn ' t a lot of actual mean girl stuff happening , and when it DOES happen , it tends to get downvoted . The best jerk isn ' t directly related to a single post . Sometimes we riff on a theme . Sometimes we ' re just totally inspired by an idea like the What mascara girl . Sure , sometimes we ' re jerking a single postsingle concept , but we ' re not just jerking things we don ' t like , we ' re jerking things we see humor in . I think if we had a rule that said always link posts we ' d end up with an influx of links to posts which may or may not be worth jerking . I think there ' s a good chance that muacj would become a linksub , where the only content is links to posts on MUA that people don ' t like . I understand that there are people who browse this sub without also participating or subscribing to MUA . That ' s fine , but honestly , it kind of defeats the purpose of muacj . In a way , what you ' re doing is cherry picking the worst parts of MUA , which just reinforces your idea that it ' s a garbage sub . I think the mod team over there is doing a really poor job of moderating the community . I think the sub could be vastly improved with a few stickies and mandatory tags . That said , I like MUA . I don ' t think it ' s garbage . Am I annoyed at angled selfies ? Yes ! Am I annoyed at skin blur ? Yes ! Am I amused at Rouge Entitlement Syndrome ? Yes ! Am I exasperated at seeing Pale Girl Seeks Foundation posts ? Yes ! But I also really enjoy swatch posts , haul posts , EOTD posts . I like reviews . I like discussion of trends . There ' s a lot to LIKE about MUA . If you ' re only coming to muacj so you can see all the worst parts of MUA , I think that ' s okay . Totally fine ! I ' m proyou ! Someday I will tire of MUA or get banned and then I ' ll still be coming here to see the sweet sweet jerk , because the community in here is really fun . But I won ' t REQUIRE posters to include link so that I don ' t have to do any work to go looking for sauce myself . For those of you would LIKE to look up their own source posts , but aren ' t sure how go to MUA and sort by new and scroll down to the hour or two before the jerk post is timestamped . So if it says a post on muacj was posted 16 hours ago , go to MUA , sort by new , then scroll down to about 17 or 18 hours ago , and the source post will probably stick out like a sore thumb !
