[META] Proposal to establish a rule banning screenshots (sh.itjust.works)

We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

Edit: added brackets to the title for clarity

Take the chance now to stablish rules for screenshots AND not allowing comics at the same time (I understand that it's what you meant by "cartoons", right?)

There is a community already for the latter here: !comics@lemmy.ml and if people like screenshots so much they can already create their own, as you said (def wont be joining that one myself ๐Ÿ˜…)
