Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that many users find c/fakenews to be misleading and unfunny. As such, we have renamed fakenews to "Obvious Falsehoods, Ridiculous Claims, Fibs, Lies, Goofs, Gaffes, Gambits and Whatnot". While this does not solve the issue of posts being misleading, it does at least ensure the comm name is just as unfunny as the average post. Now users can post in peace about Danny Devito partying with twinks or Jake Paul doing some random shit, knowing that the comedic jab of the post will be followed up by the title's wordy, humourless left hook.

Could we get a rule where anyone who submits an unfunny post to this comm gets banned from the comm?

I think that'd sort out both the random celebrity death announcements and the fact that this comm is only funny if it's rarely posted to.
