Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Well this is just a shitpost. The mods don't really care if you don't say "rule," but a lot of people think it's required. I'm just messing around
No worries, I didn't take it as super literal. But I always saw all the "Rule" posts and was curious.
Gotcha. Sorry, I don't think I interpreted your question correctly, but I'm glad you got the answer!
I got the context I was looking for from the other comment but I knew you were trying to be kind/helpful so I was attempting to reciprocate! :)
Originally, the only rule was to post before you leave, so if someone accidentally clicked the subreddit, they would usually just pick a random meme and title it rule because its liw effort
Gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
If I’m remembering correctly, the mods even made a stickied post a while back saying, “um, you don’t have to keep saying ‘rule.’”
