I encourage you and everyone else disappointed by rule 8 to subscribe there.
You have been on this site for two years and have four posts, none of them in the dunk tank. Booty has been on this site for four years and has 20 posts, none of them in the dunk tank. Why the hell do you care if people are allowed to do low effort posts on the dunk tank? Neither of you actually post!
Wait, he never even posted once in the /c/the_dunk_tank? Okay, now this thread is really really funny.
Not the person you’re replying to (looks like they got banned for what they said in this thread) but I fit the same bill, being someone who hasn’t posted there while still thinking rule 8 is just a bad rule that doesn’t improve the site but detracts from it. I like to read the things posted in the dunk tank, including posts that I have seen removed for rule 8. I also like to read the modlog and it’s the only reason I know about some threads that got removed, threads with lots of comments, none of which were complaining about the source of the dunk, and that I really enjoyed reading and would have liked to have seen continued to be discussed.
In addition to threads I only knew about because of the modlog, there have been a bunch of times now where I was reading a dunk_tank thread and went to respond but couldn’t because the post got removed between the time I opened it, read through it, and tried to comment. There have also been a couple times where I was considering making an actual post there but didn’t because I didn’t want one of the only times that I do make a post to end up getting removed. There was even a time when someone else (a mod at that!) ended up posting the very thing I had been considering posting.
