Can someone explain ‘hour rule’ for me?
What do you do with ‘hour rule’?
Does the OP post an image and you comment on it, talk about it, you post a similar picture in reply?
I often just comment on the picture. Is this correct?

It’s mostly just to give the night shift guys something to post, I think. Something about ‘constant content’ or whatever.

As far as I know, the hour rule was invented to ensure that content was constantly being updated. Mostly because Kinja is a POS and used to break every other minute. I think people use it just to show that Kinja is still working, if only for the last hour.

As others mentioned, it’s for practical purposes, but more important I think is to keep the fast-flowing nature of Oppo. This is a very special place. You can come here both in the morning and in the evening and there will always be something interesting to see, read or discuss. I also think that a lot of people (me included) are secretly afraid of it shutting down or dying out if there is nobody posting.

Think of it like a slow race to push content. If nothing has been posted for an hour, you title it “hour rule” and its like a little game to be the person who posts it because much like The Highlander, there can only be one.
It doesnt have to be the “late shift,” because you can see the Hour Rule pop up in the middle of the day.
The real question is whether Hour Rule posts get tagged correctly...

It really should be “Our Rule” but everyone mis-spells it, and no one here remembers what the rule really was. But it was ours, and that’s enough.
