I guess this is because I come from another game with a meme community that gets about 2 - 3 memes posted to it a day, but I haven't felt like there has been a huge influx of ooc memes on the comm :|a But then again, what constitutes a lot differs from person to person, and isn't very relevant to the issue at hand, so it's a pretty moot point XD
What I echo are the concerns about the meme community being moderated for similar reasons above, only because asking the mods whether it's okay to post memes to the meme comm seems like it would become excessive work for you guys, and could ultimately discourage people from using the community at all since they might not want to bother you guys with something that seems so trivial. Membership for the meme community could be optional, and those who don't want to participate in memes (or have them clogging their flist) could just not watch it.
That said, I know you guys are experimenting with something new at the moment and have said if it doesn't work out you'll change it, so I'll trust what you guys do for now (since I also understand why you'd want to moderate it, I'm just not sure it'd be feasible for you guys and for people who want to post to the meme comm ^^;;). I personally think a meme/spam community is a really really good idea just because it does keep the ooc comm from being flooded with things that aren't necessarily game related. And, like I said, not everyone likes memes so it'd be easier for them to ignore meme-posts that way. And that is my two cents o7
