Putting "rule" in the title for reasons I don't understand.
I think that's the 196 community. One of the rules is that if you show up, you have to post something, so my understanding is that people just put "rule" in the title to say that they're complying with that rule.
That was actually stolen from Reddit lol
That's a thing only on one specific instance, I think
one specific community, primarily one one instance. The concept of "rule" originates on r/196, where the only rule is that you have to post when you visit.
Therefore, its easiest to write "posting because rule" in the title rather than something creative. AFAIK this eventually devolved into just saying "Rule" or some sort of play on it.
Thanks for clearing that up
At this point it's almost a rule in itself that the title has rule in it in some way so there are many plays on the word but that's not official it's more of a community driven joke. It also came from the original 196 community on reddit.
