What percentage of current posts are still?
And
What major image prompted the rule change

The percentage of pics is low. It's not a major contribution here but from our point of view it's hard to tell if it is a slap or tap. Sometimes gifs are mid range and could go either way as a tap or slap so those get a pass.
There wasn't a single image that brought this up, it's been an ongoing thing where we simply can't tell.

Every post here gets seen by a mod and approved/removed in a short period of time. I don't participate much in commenting or posting here but I see nearly every post that comes thru.

http://www.strawpoll.me/14951841 We would appreciate your input by voting yes or no in the poll.
From a mods point of view still images are difficult to distinguish if it is a slap or a tap. If this new rule is not well received then the mods will reconsider and discuss to revert back to allowing photos. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions please give us your input.

What people are debating whether a photo can show a cat tap or what? Overly serious discussion going on for a silly sub. While we’re on that, a photo can definitely show a tap, wtf are you guys smoking.

I have a question, I don't believe a single still image should be allowed, for tap/slaps/touch defining reasons. But what about a series of still images like someone who took a shutter shot and posted an album or like four pictures showing the cat taps? Would that be okay or a no go with rule 8?

You could mix them together to get a sloppy gif! To be honest it could probably get approved on a case by case analysis.

My opinion: a soft rule.
Slaps are not continuous taps, HOWEVER they do not hurt the overall quality of the subreddit very hard. Remind those who post that slaps are not taps, but do not remove said post's unelss they overwhelm the content of video or gif taps.

Not a fan of cat toys that cats can't actually catch, like the red dot or this mouse app : (

You can’t watch a cat tapping something in a still image and that’s all this sub is about.
Limiting this sub to only cats tapping things is a good thing.

u/irecordwhileyousleep Jan 29 '18
Anything can limit content. Should the mods not ban dogs from the sub about cats?

With all due respect, I clicked on the video and got a good look at your username while it was loading, and had a good laugh. That’s all I wanted to say, thank you for the wonderful kitty taps and mod post from 5y ago.

If there isn’t a reaction to the tap, the game is worthless! Touch screen cat games are the ONLY way to go!

The cats have to be tapping. So yeah it can’t be still. We don’t know if that’s a tap or not, could be a touch and hold.
