I call a "new rule" for ATOT for parody threads

[Homerboy]

If your claiming a thread is a parody thread you MUST post a link to the orginal thread.

We have a deal everyone?

Edit: let me clarify.... Im not saying a NEW thread that is a parody should be marked as so, with a back link... but if you post in a thread that IS a parody, and you are calling" PARODY!!! x/10" then you have to provide link to the thread that is the original thread being parodied.

Now Im confused.

and should be marked [parody] in the title so we could filter them out

Hasn't someone called for this before?
I agree, BTW.

I think this is a sound idea.

That would detract from the parody's ability to fool people into thinking it was sincere.

notfred Im not saying the parody poster Im saying the person calling out the thread AS a parody. You have to backlink to the original thread you think its a parody of.

No rules. Rules would imply that parodies are ok, which they're not.

I know really. Why not say that the topic on all parodies have to be "PSA: THIS IS A PARODY"??

but you didnt read my post/explaination.
The ORIGINAL parody thread can do whatever they want... but, for example in your parody thread, if I went in and called out your parody then I need provide the link to the ORIGINAL thread that you are making a parody of.
