I'm sick of lazy meme posts that don't provide sources for their position.

How would you feel about a longer list of cultural norms and guidelines for SaidIt (like what Wikipedia has), so we could add things like this as they come up. "Avoid lazy meme posts that don't source their information"

The longer the list of rules gets, the harder it gets to explain and enforce, and the more arbitrary it all becomes. I am against creating a huge patchwork of random rules, that's part of what caused reddit to fail, imo. I think there are better ways to address this issue that don't result in tons of moderation work for me to do every day, such as a 2-sentence "submission statement" from the poster about why they think it matters, for example.

It works for Wikipedia.

A huge list of rules fails for, say, the United States of America, because the ruleset is 250,000 pages long. But a message board should be governable by, say, 2 pages of guidelines without running into those rules.

Sounds good to me.
