We had a very efficient and funny campaign to inform the general public that screenshots are not memes. However, people keep posting screenshots in this community. I propose that we establish a rule banning screenshots. Maybe there is a dedicated community or screenshots enthusiasts could create one. Of course if this proposal is widely opposed, I will withdraw it and go hide in a cave, never to be heard again. Also, cartoons are not memes either but this is a battle for another day.

We are in the social media age… yes, people really gotten too stupid for those kinds of things. Same with taking photos of screens instead of making a screenshot.

I can at least understand taking photos of the screen because console manufacturers go out of their way to make it difficult to take a screenshot and get it on your phone.

But cropping literally takes 10 seconds. Or 5 minutes if you’re doing it for the first time and don’t have an app that can crop.

You dont need an app. Both Apple’s iPhones and Samsung’s Galaxy Phones have built in photo editor. Not sure about other brands.

There are stock apps, but they are usually incredibly bloated. Samsungs’ wants you to log in to use it and last time I checked, it literally put ads in between your images.
