Forums / Maintenance / Suggest Ideas

Here are some tips that will help you be better accepted as a member of Know Your Meme.

1. We do not create memes on this site. Period. So do not try this.

2. +1 confirm is annoying. (especially when the article is already confirmed)

3. Trolling and spamming are grounds for a BAN!

4. Do not upload pornographic examples of a meme.

5. Not every funny thing that you find on the internet is a meme.

6. Seeing it on /b/ (even if it is a GET) does not necessarily make it a meme.

7. If you are unsure if something is a meme or not, ask in the forums BEFORE making the entry.

8. If you need help, ask.

9. Do not try to intentionally offend people.

10. Carefully search for an entry BEFORE you make it.

11. Making an account on Know Your Meme just to tell us you do not think something is a meme is annoying.

12. +1 deadpool is annoying (especially on a confirmed entry).

13. We are not /b/. Do not treat us as such.

14. If you made it, chances are it will never be a meme.

15. DO not assume that we at Know Your Meme are stupid.

16. If you do not approve of a meme, do not flames us about it. We document memes, not promote them.

If any other established KYM members have other things to add, just tell me.

And newbies, post your comments.

dont mind this post people

Dont let watcher or any other higher up users discourage you.
Please dont troll
lurk moar please before posting a meme entry.

Another tip. Don't be a douche.

We have a faq already, Watcher.
I'd post the lionk, but lurkers may vandalize it.
If you want the lionk, PM me.

Yes, but the newbies can see this one.

Also, please send me that li0nk in PM.

Just trying to help the new people.

This is great, thx Watcher. I'm going to incorporate guidelines not dissimilar from this (and the FAQ) into the meme submission process ASAP

Okay, I just had this one here so the newbies could see it.

Another one:

Use tags and submemes when needed.
Don't just go and thumb up or down everything, people would think your are spamming or trolling.

Seriously, do you actually know anything about KYM's site structure?

XD Agreed.
I don't think +1 and -1 is annoying…………………..it's only annoying when it's already confirmed, like you said.

Here's another tip, if you want to change "New Member", well you need to do something, I think? (give me the link too and you can't rename the "New Member" and some other on your account is few percent can change it [very few I guess]) Oh and @watcher you forget to said no posting gore stuff too.

This isn't really a guide, this is a list of guidelines. I came here for comment formatting help as well as linking images and YouTube videos : \

Here's some Textile help
That should suit most of your needs. As for Jew YouTube Videos, just go into the description, click share, click embed, then copypaste.
Don't worry, I just figured out links.

Thanks, Watcher. You're a great person! From now on, I will stop spamming some memes that I hate. ;)

You really shouldn't have been posting spam even before reading this.

"Thanks for giving us the guidelines at least we now know the limitations of this site.

It could really help us (the newbies)"

Spam, yep they are trolling us now.

This is so useful.

how do you get a 'title' such as RandomMan's Bitch, lurker, conversationalist, Database Moderator & Alpha as F**k, etc??? Just curious.

Most of the titles are obtainable through contributions, in which more is explained here. Mod titles are obtained through modship, in which the admins pick who is eligible for those. And the Alpha and RM titles are part of the KYM CBC a month ago.

Guys how about the flash animations in the comments?

I don't know how to embed them or if it's even possible. I've never wanted to try it, because having too much media in a forum post/comment strikes me as being distracting.

But this guide may have some information that will help you answer the question. Some HTML is supported in the comments along with forum posts, so you may want to try HTML tags and stuff on your profile before taking it to a Comments section.

Well this helped.
Thanks!

People STILL write +1 Confirm and +1 deadpool…

but what is the gold member things and what ranks are there? i signed up for not very long and im already gold…

I think this is a pretty good point too. I'm fairly new to the site myself, and I haven't found much that explains the subtler details of the site outside of how to behave…

I figured out how to embed stuff to posts, but how do I become a commentator, and then improve to a higher rank? What's the minimum?

For those wondering about titles, we previously had a thread where the requirements for each title and the specifics behind them were discussed:

Thank you, RPP!!!

Please mind this post.

I would very much like to know how to make my avatar a .gif. (i know, i suck at computers and shit)

Upload a .gif as your avatar.

How would one quote a small part of a single forum post

This would require HTML.

Whoever wrote:
<blockquote>Quote</blockquote>

Becomes

Whoever wrote:

Quote

This is so awesome. Thanks, Watcher. :D

What I'd like to know is why the Quote button doesn't automatically do that.

"6. Seeing it on /b/ (even if it is a GET) does not necessarily make it a meme."

6.5 Seeing it on Reddit does not necessarily make it a meme.

Oh wait, is usually does around here. :P

Thank you for telling me the rules around here, very helpful post. Now can some please explain how the title system for profiles work here?

See this thread for explanations about user titles.

Ok, thanks for the info, opspe.
