I am under the impression that memes, gifs, and photos of all kinds (pointless or otherwise) are to be posted in appropriate threads. ---

One image posted as a dry (meant-to-be-humorous) observation is not meme-bombing. I think it can count as: > [@Vangor](#): > > The occasional meme is encouraged …we are hardly overflowing with them are we? ---

I have been told after only one picture that i was violating the guidelines because it was in an inappropriate thread for it. But… Ahh… Lol, silly me! I forgot the rules dont apply the same to everyone so by all means… Carry on ---

What about this one @Jainus? > [@Saltypatra](#): > > We understand that sometimes you gotta make a joke or reply with an anecdote, that’s fine. However, if you derail a thread or stray so far off topic that the original post is no longer in sight, it’s no good. Make a new thread, take it to PMs or even in-game global chat, please. Oh yeah… Lol that one only applies to me also… Nvm ---

Silly EULA - someone can take my suggestion - but I was hoping for a troop like this: ![IMG_3025](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/3/d32978fdd03cc68769f43499057fe861957ea2d0.JPG) Or This: ![IMG_3026](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/a/aa62171ffa21c36dba9bf998183801862e45c3e7.JPG) Good luck to all those that live where you are able to participate. 😉 ---

I posted one image that was a comment on the long stream of suggestions so far, and therefore _on topic_. Our subsequent exchanges with your helpful reminders of the rules and unhelpful martyrdom have taken us a bit off topic. I apologise to other members for my part in that. ---
