Hey all, it's Peep.

This is just a quick heads up about upcoming adjustments to the Rules and Guidelines of this site concerning the following subjects:

Memes and Spam.

Firstly, the site is becoming absolutely cluttered with memes - both in terms of fights and threads in general. It should be pointed out, memes are not being outlawed - rather they are going to need to be posted in sepcific locations.

So, firstly - a meme in general (not a fight) is to be posted either on the Fun and Games section of the site, or on willing user's message walls. This is to hopefully avoid people not interested in memes being swamped in them. I will set up a thread for memes later on, so be sure to check it out when you plan to post them. As for "Meme Fights" I will ask you to write them in blogs.

Now, I know there are some characters people have turned into memes (for better or worse) and I will say that a memed version of them (WAAAHluigi, Dedede, Robbie Rotten, etc) will be moved to blogs whereas the regular use of the characters will not.

I am going to include YouTube themed battles as well - such as Michael Rosen, SMG4, AVGN etc as blog posts. This might also help deal with the spamming issue, because frankly, users who write one meme / YouTube battle seems to only ever use these characters - making the site less about DBX and more about memes and YouTube.

So to recap that point, Memes as a concept are on Message Walls for partaking users, and on the Fun and Games thread I will make. Battles with memed characters and YouTube combatants will be moved to blogs. I will update the Rules and Guidelines in due course.

I would also like to ephasise that this is not about banning memes; DBX Fanon should be a place where everyone feels welcome. But in recent months, the site feels less about the concept of writing fights, as much as it is memes. Nothing wrong with having jokes, but that is not the sole purpose of this site. If any of this is tricky to follow, do not be afraid to ask me to clear it up for you. Thanks for reading, Peep.
