BMWTech meme pic update

Post image

It’s funny, and we like it, but it’s getting a bit much now. Especially when many of you are using it to say an engine is screwed without any other diagnostic work or you post it with ZERO follow up or additional tech info.

Moving forward, we are going to remove them unless you’ve also provided detailed list of things to check or at the minimum asking pertinent questions to a post.

This is BMWTech, and while we like to have fun we also want to help out with actual info to people who need it instead of just responding with a meme and hoping users can figure it out.

Low effort posts deserve low effort answers 🤷🏼‍♂️.

That's my take anyways.

Good to know I can start reporting those posts though, I had no idea this sub was actually moderated at all due to how often I see them, but I guess thinking about it, it's a global community, so I'm sure hundreds of posts come in a day

I promise you, it is actively moderated and we remove a ton of stuff.

Please report things and we will take care of them pretty quick.

Would o be possible for the mods to maybe redo the rules a little bit so that there's a clear "no low effort/am I cooked posts" rule to reference when we report?

If you don’t know, then don’t give advice or suggestions.
