That sounds like a challenge! I accept!
All kidding aside, I would say that's what they are in theory, but what I think the problem here is with the interpretation of the law by certain moderators rather than the law itself. What seems fine to many might seem over the line for one mod, but the mod's interpretation will win out. Just as the mob should not be in charge, those in charge are not infallible, either.
Perhaps we could just have the forum/topic determine if Macros are allowed? Maybe the OP can decide?
Again, I wouldn't care about the warnings, if it didn't mean each one put you 10% closer to a permaban. Posting one off topic image macro a month will get you banned permanently, just seems silly.
Especially because /every/ image macro/gif has basically been considered off topic.
If they are considered off topic in the first place, I'm confused why they would ever be allowed.
