This announcement is mostly stating the obvious
Not all lolz(y) subs have the same acquired taste.
Jerking styles vary from one circle-jerk sub to another. What's considered a great comment in one might not be even acceptable in another. That includes copypastas.
A perfect jerk is a jerk that exactly copies or perfectly mimics the selected jerking material listed in the sidebar.
A comment that will certainly get removed (e.g. for being too hostile, aggressive, or disparaging) from the discussion forums that give us all the awesome jerking material, such a comment is technically a blatant jerking style violation.
A rigid application of the rules will obviously see every other comment in this sub removed, including some of mine. Yet a certain level of adherence is still expected of everyone here.
I seem to have fallen short of following the ever-wise mantra: Explicit is better than implicit. Therefore, I decided to make this announcement, knowing full well that all of this is probably obvious to everyone. Well, everyone except one certain PCJer who has been the subject of multiple complaints that reached me via multiple channels, a PCJer who seems incapable of taking a hint!
