Can someone explain the "rule" thing? I've seen it for weeks now and I'm at loss finding a plausible explanation (:

For a little more context, 196's main rule is that you need to post something before you leave. So it started with people just putting something about having to post because of the rule for the title, which then turned into just putting rule because it's shorter, which then turned into making an actual title then putting rule in it somewhere because it's funny.

That's very helpful, thank you! 🙏

it's basically an inofficial rule at this point that the title must contain the word "rule"
