What should be in the Go Memes Thread

Crocrobot’s initial restriction.

Crocrobot did not make the restriction, and people have posted more than just memes for several years.

That rule was added by @Eugene, who edited the post on January 1, 2020.

I think that rule (exactly one meme per post) is overly strict and does not reflect the practice, wishes, nor enforcement. Even @Eugene seems to have softened his stance on the matter, and continued to personally flout that rule even after he added it.

@Gia

Just came to state my disappointment that this thread doesn’t have a poll.

@Eugene

We in this thread have deep and extensive experience with polls, and we know you need to talk for a long time before understanding what the poll question should be

I agree that this is a nuanced and complex issue, and there are perhaps many questions to settle. However, we can still poll on incremental issues to gauge public opinion, and then follow up with further questions.

Let’s start with a basic question and then explore further from there.

Should the Go Memes Thread be Strictly Only Memes?

• Yes
• No

YES would mean that these posts break the rules and should be removed (and possibly placed elsewhere).

Go Memes!

Two Trumps in a row before my morning coffee is two much.

Go Memes!

Note: you’re not the only one who spends inordinate time to get the meme right

Sad … IMO they should’ve restricted the ranks for their game offer instead of canceling—or make it a teaching game.

Go Memes!

Ideally someone out there would do some Photoshop-fu and show the same individual aging throughout their life, climbing the same ridge. For it never really ends…

The landscape looks correct, but I think you should replace that youngster with an old man and his walking frame.

There was a study, some 30 years ago or more, that found that visual memory (not IQ) was the only attribute that had a significant correlation with success in chess. I wish I could cite you the reference, but I am operating from memory, and I am not a reference library. Add to that the problem that it is unclear just what IQ is or whether any measure of it can be valid and reliable. See Gould’s The Mismeasure of Man.

I rolled a number between 1 and 1370, post the meme you think was closest to the rolled post number (another joke)

NO would require further discussion to determine where to draw the line on what type of posts should be allowed.
