I think those all fall under “image macro”. Since that’s the slang name for text copypastes, it’d seem reasonable to go with that.
I approve of freeing up “meme” to stand for a catch-all term for all internet memes like it used to, and go with “exploitable meme” instead.
It may be worth mentioning that the “exploitable” tag holds only the “clean” unfilled version of these memes, It could be considered for a moment if if people want to keep these clean versions separate.
Personally I don’t care much about it if they are collected under the same tag (“exploitable” or “exploitable meme”) for the simple reason that someone can just do a search for a specific meme (say, “two words meme”) and the first image in that series will usually be the clean version. But perhaps they should have their own tag regardless.
As for hiding stuff, I don’t care as long as one can collect all the spammy junk under one, max three tags. Say we have “meta”, “exploitable meme” and “image macro”, that’s already three (most of the junk stuff falls under these). That is about the maximum number of tags that a casual user can be expected to recognize and perhaps filter.
Instead of hiding specific spam I’d probably hide any image with a negative rating for unregistered users. (That’d show a much cleaner site by default, since most despised/boring stuff like “chickun” is negatively rated anyway. I know some mods were ambigious about the rating system but this I think it does adequately. My only concern is how this’d affect Anons, since most of the junk uploads come from those users, would mods have to deal with meme dupes and such etc.
So, no opinion on what to hide from me. I’ll be fine with what the people say.
