That's dandy but they should keep it off-board I think

Or at least do it in a way that doesn't involve humiliating, belittling ppl meanspiritedness etc

the zero tolerance meta thing is a rule abt 77 since its a private board, but yeah nasty meta will be dealt with on w/e board. but unless its on the researching your life side of things, its pretty hard to regulate people reposting stuff thats already on ilx.

to elaborate on why I am complaining about this:people shouldn't be dicks, that's just good policy. goofing on each other's dumbass posts here is great and all, and some people do this consistently in a way that's very good-natured and affectionate, but there always seems to be a couple of people who are incapable of not being shitty to others. if this were a group of tight-knit friends, it'd be one thing, but this is essentially a public board. better to reserve that sort of thing for off-board i think. and churning up ppl's old posts simply for look-and-lol purposes discourages people from expressing themselves more freely. even the most thick-skinned of good sports here likely don't relish the idea of being constant fodder for jokes. as a result people end up cramping their posting styles and the board tends to take on a monolithic vibe of sorts b/c people are wary of sticking out too much. the charming diversity of the ecology here suffers.
