In the past few days, we've realized that the "don't submit things that aren't gifs" rule needs to change. Users of the subreddit feel that it's too subjective and detrimental to the subreddit as a whole. Also, people feel that we've been doing too strict a job at moderating. Therefore, we've decided to try not restricting the contents of the subreddit for a while.Since all our attempts to come up with an objective criterion for what constitutes a gif have failed, we've decided to just take that rule out. From now on, moderators will not remove anything other than obvious spam and NSFW/obscene content, and will approve any other post. One major complaint from the community is that we don't trust it enough to moderate itself, so, from now on and while this experiment lasts (we're aiming for a month), it's up to the community to downvote irrelevant content.After the experiment ends, we'll see how it went and decide whether strict moderation is needed or not. We're hoping that you guys we'll be happy that we're taking your advice and help us my moderating what you want and don't want to see.Thanks!/r/gifs moderator team
