Temporary Reddit Rules For DadJokes
Reddit is kind of the Amazon.com of user-generated content. There’s a category for almost everything. Including (drum roll) dad jokes.
In the words of Dana Carvey doing Johnny Carson, I did not know that.
Anyway, at the moment there are some rules in place for posting dad jokes.
Starting on the 1st of December and running until the 10th, /r/dadjokes will be self-post only. This 10 day trial is being conducted to measure the overall effect on post quality. We hope to see a reduction in posts that exist purely for karma-gaming, and an increase in posts that represent our favourite dad jokes and stories.
Got that? I think it means the powers that be at Reddit (/r/bosses perhaps?) want people to submit actual jokes/stories about dads rather than links to jokes/stories about dads. I am willing to admit that I could be totally wrong here but I think that’s what is going on.
UPDATE: I read more of the text on the page (I know, crazy, right?) and found this, which offers more of an explanation:
As of this time there are no strict formatting requirements that you must adhere to.
Only self-posts are allowed from Dec. 1 to Dec. 10th
A couple of suggestions to follow:
Leave the punchline out of the title!
Preferred to be a joke your actual father said.
Tag [NSFW] or [NSFL] if ever necessary.
Hit the link below for more details. And if you understand it better than I do, please leave a comment. Or throw money. Either one is fine.
