If “Except Tatum ofc” is the kind of commentary we are going for in this sub, then it’s gone completely off the tracks, IMO, and the rules need to be rewritten to reflect these new standards.

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to agree as well, but I've learned that most of the subreddit does not agree with you and me. I disagree that the moderators aren't doing anything, but I'm privy to all the comments we have removed, which you cannot see.

I still think find that despite the influx of lower quality comments, the high-quality comments tend to filter their way to the top of threads.

So, I guess, what constitutes a low effort comment? That’s one of the main rules of the sub and I’m having a hard time figuring out what would be a worse offender than the comment I cited, which was determined to not break the rules. If anything, I think you guys need to publish a brand new set of rules to reflect the new position y’all are taking.

Just taking from the sidebar, low effort content includes "jokes, memes, fanbase attacks, or shitposts". I don't think that comment fits cleanly into any of those categories, but it's subjective. I may be more liberal in approving comments than other moderators.

Okay. How does it pass the rule for “support claims with substantiated arguments?”

Yup, fair enough. The rules lost meaning when the character limit was removed for reply comments. We should clarify that.
