      I have lived in several different stars and have never heard of the majority of these terms. For reference (I know Texas is big) I lived in Houston TX, MS, NH, UT, and CA.

      Edit: Stars = States

        I’ve literally never heard anybody call it that and I’ve been to almost all of those purple states.

          I’ve never been to the northwestern US, and I also never heard the term coinage. Therefore it must be accurate.

    They’re the same size as other peso coins so why call them Big Tex Tokens?

      I lived in the north east and Texas and have never heard anyone calling money either of those things (pence and Big Tex whatever-the-fucks).

We are agents of chaos I’ve created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named “mapporncirclejerk”

Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.

Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.

No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.

No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.

Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.
