Just a minor comment/suggestion, I honestly think players should start posting less sex memes and more universal or AU driven memes instead.

Just eyeing the list so far, I can see there's one too many sex memes floating around and they tend to really rack up throughout the course of the week. Quite a bunch of these sex memes don't seem to garner much replies, either. It's almost as if meme-seekers get tired of them quickly in favor for the next big thing.

It's a great idea, the problem is thinking and making up those memes when it's so easy to just grab an old but popular smut meme and throw it down.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
They're doubling up, too. Just on this week's list I see two of (what I assume to be) the exact same Incest meme and Heat/Rut memes. Would it be possible to have the mods put a cap on this, maybe delete memes posted too soon after each other? It might help slow things down.

this wank again?

"universal" aka gen is never going to be as popular as smut. sorry. you can get gen in games if you're so thirsty for it.

I'd be fine with more memes where there are smut options as well as gen options, but honestly the last few times I've browsed for a meme the amount of smut only options has been really disheartening.

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2014-02-24 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't play in smut memes very often, but I don't care either way.

Most people just ignore memes they don't like, so why don't you go to that, too?

It's perfectly possible to play in a meme posted a couple of days ago, you know?

Honestly, I wish there were more memes that were open to gen and smut/romance.

Yes. This exactly. Anyone can turn a non-smut meme into something for smut. Why not have memes that cater to both? Are people that poor at outlining their own scene ideas now?

For an example, the 'pet person' meme doesn't have to be smut only... All it takes is a mix of prompts and people labeling their comments to say smut/no smut. The same can be said of a number of other memes too. Why limit things so much?

Then again... that might be giving people too much credit.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
as someone who has made several memes, both smut and gen, i personally find smut way more fun and the memes more challenging to make so i make those. like somebody mention upthread, i play in games. i get all the gen i need there.

and as for memes that have both smut and gen, there's always some asshole who says they're ota and never mentions not wanting to play smut. then, they get tagged with smut and run to wg calling the person who tagged them a cockhop and smear them on plurk. that's why i'd prefer the memes to stay separate.

I'm new to Baker Street and I agree with this! More options can never hurt.

We go around and around on this in every single discussion post. Can we just get a mod decision on the matter?

...do we have a mod?

Actually, we don't go around and around on this, judging from the last couple of posts.

I feel it's just a case of the tail trying to wag the dog, in this case, tbh.

Most people who play in bakerstreet seem to like things just fine the way they are, after all.

Too many memes in general, that's why there are hardly any replies. Can't we cap it at 5 a day or something, please? The more memes there are the less actual play seems to happen.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I like that people have been trying to include some info in their comments more now rather than just leaving them blank. It helps a lot honestly.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it? That's great to know!

I started little comments under my initial meme tags in hopes I could reel in a few rpers. It's hit and miss most of the time, but I think it works.

can we stop trying to create such a huge false dichotomy between gen, and stop calling it "universal" ffs, and smut?

also, shipping =/= smut. i hope you guys aren't counting them as such.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I fail to see why you're harping on the 'categories' of the meme. You have your smut memes and your-everything-else memes/gen.

Though, I do believe the shipping memes get lumped in with smut since it usually ends up in that direction.

How is it a false dichotomy when posting to a smut meme means you get smut?

I'm not counting shipping and smut memes as the same thing, but neither interest me.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-23 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
i think i'm looking over it, but i'm having trouble finding the last posting of the last words meme and i want to see it run again. could someone post that one?

Someone just did.

What is a successful meme?

[personal profile] anonyhamster 2014-02-24 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I think a meme is successful if anybody enjoys it in any fashion whatsoever.

If there's only a couple of threads, but the muns there are enjoying themselves, then it's a success for me, for example.

(Anonymous) 2014-02-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
agreed. even if only a few people enjoy it, I'd consider it a success. not every meme is going to have 1k+ posts, or even a hundred.
