/r9k/ - ROBOT9000

Looks like MOOT wants original content, so he made this board. Allow me to poast the instructional sticky and the link:

http://img.4chan.org/r9k/imgboard.html

/r9k/ is a board with no reposts.
Rules/observations/etc:
1. If you attempt to post something unoriginal, it is not posted.
2. In this case you are muted temporarily.
3. The time with which you are muted for increases with each transgression.
4. Each mute time is 2^n (thanks, mathsfags) in seconds where n is the number of times you have transgressed. So, your mute time is the amount of fuck ups you have made to the power of two, in seconds.
5. Quotes, eg >>1, are not viewed by R9K. So "lolwut" and ">>2 lolwut" are the same post, in the eyes on R9K.
6. Gibberish at the end of a post to force originality is punished with the full force of the banhammer. Even testing R9K's parameters seems to draw the ire of the mods.
6(2). Images are included. Slight changes in exif data, etc, however, seem to circumvent this rule, but like with text if you break the filter the REAL LIVE MODS will banhammer you.
8. Your mute count never resets or goes backwards.
9. You cannot post a picture without text.
10. You cannot impersonate moot.
11. Unicode is blocked. Sorry, too many exploits (Cyrillic letters, etc)
12. The too low in content filter was broken for a while, resulting in a lot of crappy mutes. Sorry.
13. Post sane, real content, well thought out replies, and mutes are unlikely.

Here is the thread where we can waste all the words: http://img.4chan.org/r9k/res/74868.html#76151

I could have told someone that constant originality was not a good thing if they brought even this vague concept back a 1000 years ago, here's why, plain and simple:

Evolution.

The way things work in life is the same way things work in ideas, why do you think the word meme was created by an evolutionary biologist?
The good ideas are repeated while the bad ideas fall into the abyss.

Robot9000's basic idea will never work with anything, imagine a world where life dies at the same rate no matter how good or bad it is. Just for a second. I can't because in my mind, it wouldn't even exist, life itself would die, None of us would exist.

Imagine the same thing with inventions, imagine that the good inventions were not held above the radically flawed ones, we would have nothing we have today, surely not the internet that I am typing this to.

And of course on 4chan we are simply dealing with jokes, imagine that all jokes just died the second the first person told it, that it was forever banned from being said thereafter, no matter how funny or stupid, that they were treated the same and gone for all time.

We don't have to, as the xkcd guy created it for us to see, and he called a success.
