[Announcement] Slackernews poll that may impact the quality of posts in the near future

Edit: Nothing changes

Currently we have this guideline:

Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA! :marseywheredrama2:

While I have posted non-drama, this is a drama site and posts that aren't dramatic in this hole have been allowed. However, your average pinkoid and at least one poweruser who gets very mad at every hole's content that has a pink username (still like him btw) gets mad when something non-dramatic is posted. I have retained a drama-lite approach to the hole.

However, I've been thinking about revising the guideline above to require at least one dramatic or funny link in the post if you will post boring tech content. Meta posts asking for advice or whatever would still be allowed. If the news article is funny, then it's optional but recommended to post dramatic content. At least a reaction from Hacker News, /r/technology or any other tech sub, twittertards, /g/, etc. Meta posts asking for advice would still be allowed. While the content won't change much, you would no longer be able to post boring shit like this.

Should we make a change to the guideline and require posts to be dramatic or funny?

So if this change goes through then you would clean up these non-dramatic posts? How much would you get paid for this extra effort? Just wanted to clarify, thanks!

I think its nice to have a hole where you can post non dramatic content. Most of the comments people make are still funny so I think its alright to keep it the way it is

I don't care about getting "just the facts, sirs" type of posts from arrrdrama. Almost every news comes with retarded takes baked in. I don't care what changed in lifetimes semantic in Rust or what new device came out and lets you cooonsume faster and with better resolution, show me angry people shouting into void that accompanies those news.

Main feed requires drama. Holes don't necessarily. I don't think any of the mops have an issue with Slacker News in its current state.

I like posting niche links and finding like minded r-slurs.

On your knees, bucko. Someone shoulda broke you a long, long time ago. I have nary met a buck I can't chuck with this here long and mighty dingus! I tell ye back in aught-4 I met a real mean one. He had big, air stealing nostrils, monstrous, boot lips, muscles that rippled under his cobalt skin so it'd look like a nest'a snakes as he'd be twisting here and yonder. T'was an older gentleman, the owner d'ye ken?, that had hired me to break this particular buck. Was some half-dozen breakers what had tried and failed! I tracked this this big-assed baboon, by fallerin' the sounds of his impressive proud buttocks, clapping as he capered to and fro on yon gentleman's land. There he be, proud as a darn peapeepee, black slave's body framed by yon settin' sun, just begging to be broke. I approached from the east, formerly westerly way. Took him unawares as he were sat alone out front a shack, mending a loincloth or some such. Knocking him to his glistening buttocks produced a thund'rus CLAP, and I mounted from the front. I tell ye boy, but that buck began to FIGHT! This unbroken, proud negro was ornery I tell ye, but I ain't ne'er been denied, d'ya ken it? I had my peepee out in an instant as he scrambled onto his black belly and began ta' wrigglin' this way and that. And bucko did he began to wail! As loud as prairie lightning he were. This buck could tell the breaking was coming, and I tell ye, he did BUCK. This obstinate cur could turn on a dime and give ye some change! I tell ye as the winds were my witness, he were a right sunfish, struggling and flopping as he did, gyrating his unbroken black anus and dodging my breaker man's meat. But he broke, and I finished the job. D'ye ken? That buck broke. Say sorry, boy. But they all break. By the man Jesus and his snowy white pappy, now say hallelujah, boy, you'll break, too!
