Editing SurrealMemes (section)

=== Change to Approved Posts Only ===
On December 2nd, 2017 users who wanted to post something would have to become an approved submitter first, thanks to the flood of new users the subreddit would constantly have off-topic posts, aswell as memes that did not fit the subreddit. In order to combat this, the subreddit would be restricted to approved submitters only, users could request approval by posting an OC meme in /r/SurrealApprovals. There would be some guidelines to follow if you wished to be approved, such as to be original, not repost, not use any of the recurring characters, put time and effort into your meme, etc. 
{{Quote|When r/surrealmemes was young, nearly all of the posts were high quality and fairly original. Since the subreddit has rapidly expanded, most of the posts are low-effort and/or don't fit the subreddit. This approval method introduces an initial level of quality control to keep the subreddit clean.|u/MC_Labs15}}
