No More Haigure
At present, haigure is allowed on the site. Fine. However, the fact is, most people don't even know what it is, and it isn't obvious at first glance that it's anything even remotely hypno-related. Even among people who DO know what it is, many don't seem to like it, with most explanations I've seen describing it more or less as just a dated meme. The implication is pretty heavily that it was never really good, and should have died off a long time ago. ...and for some reason it's been flooding the site the past few days, with the result of causing confusion, annoyance, and squabbling between members over whether it needs to be flagged or not.
So, I'd like to move that no new pics of it be allowed. My suggestion is to "grandfather" in all the old haigure pics for whatever historical value they have. But, henceforth, the pose in itself would not be accepted as MC without some other indicator that meets site standards - in other words, that the pose would henceforth be treated as just a pose, and not given any special significance in its own right. All currently accepted haigure pics would be left alone, but all future ones would require additional context to be accepted (as in, context that does not only consist to - "it's this thing from that episode of the one show").
