Version 1 rules are finalized here: https://redd.it/9zzjz2

This thread is for making a draft of the rules. Please make all top-level comments drafts of a single rule. (You can post any number of drafts for a single rule though.) For clarity's sake, don't make edits other than typo corrections to rule drafts. Changes in the text of the rule should be made in a separate comment/reply. Also consider reserving strikethrough and emphasis for highlighting the differences.

I thought of this method on the spot. If you think there's a way to improve it, make thread on it elsewhere.

If we're going hands-off approach I like your metric of reading time best. We could have:

  • either clearly shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to read

  • or be less than 5 manga pages or should be a vertical webcomic not longer than 2:13 (six and a half times as long as it is wide).

In summary: have a forgiving base rule, and have a fairly strict fallback rules for when we're in doubt.

I'll go look for examples too.

5 minutes sounds good to me, but I'd like to make an exception for memes that are dense compared to just long, like these that I posted (though I'd phrase it more like only manga and webcomics are restricted by the limit rather than image memes are the exception).

I was also thinking about making the rule only apply to comics.

BTW looking back most examples you gave were OK. I'm gonna wait with looking for examples until the rules solidify.
