Heyuri's /b/ is Heyuri's /b/ - it's not "supposed" to be anything besides what it is, nor is it trying to be!

Contrary to what some n00bs may think, staff-san can in fact baleet whatever they feel like at any time for any reason (though this rarely happens anymore unless it's automated spam or Rule 8 material. RIP W.T. Kuz ;_;7). This is outlined very clearly on teh rules page:
>REMEMBER: Heyuri is not about "free speech", and rules may be enforced with a small amount of discretion from the Moderators. You are in no way entitled to anything on this site, and your ability to use it can be taken away without notice, or reason.

The above line is an important part of how Heyuri operates, and is how it has been able to retain its lighthearted and creative nature without permanently devolving into constant shitflinging, low-effort trolling, spam-like garbage, and talentless assholes actively driving away all the talented & creative users (who make Heyuri the OC powerhouse that it is) "for the lulz"

You're right in that 8.d. could probably do with Yet Another rewording, cuz it's clear that it's easily misinterpreted. Originally 8.d. simply said "shitposting and 'nu-irony'", but it was reworded back in January (see: https://img.heyuri.net/q/koko.php?res=61025#p61037 ) as it was decided that a lot of people these days interpret shitposting to mean "having fun/being playful on the internet" rather than the original meaning of "posts that are shit", and that the term itself is potentially Rule 8 breaking. The way 8.d. currently reads was just something I came up with on the fly, and kaguya deemed it good enough to add verbatim

It was never meant to be about judging whether a post is funny or not - it's about posts intended to make other Heyuri users laugh (providing LOLs) VS posts intended to make the poster laugh at the expense of other Heyuri users (not providing LOLs). In other words: if you attempt to make shitty unfunny/nu-web style humor posts on purpose, or attempt to troll Heyuri/Heyuri users, you = fail and you will meet b&hammer with ur face

Make no mistake however - LOLs made at the expense of anyone outside of Heyuri (including the likes of faganon and Parker) is not only allowed, but recommended
