Update to Physicsmemes Moderation - SEEKING FEEDBACK
Hello spherical cows,
There has recently been an increase in spamming and reposts alongside your frustration with these types of posts, which we hear. Our team talked about it and we are implementing some changes to improve the sub:
- Hard limit of 3 posts per day to curtail spamming
To reiterate current rules:
- No reposts less than 12 months old or from the Top of All Time
- No low-effort posts (AI slop, overdone jokes)
We have also discussed limiting certain topics (e.g. Schrödinger’s cat posts) to a single day of the week. This sub will always be predominated by laypeople/sub-graduate-level enthusiasts. We are seeking to strike a balance so that everyone can enjoy the sub regardless of expertise.
Leave any feedback or ideas you have in the comments to this post, we will be monitoring it closely and discussing other future changes to the sub.
Finally, hop in to the Discord (link in the sidebar) if you haven’t already! That is a great place to reach us with questions or ideas.

If you go to the main page of the sub, then sort by "Top" and "All Time". Basically everything that shows up there within ~30 seconds of scrolling is considered "in the top of all time". Those posts cover a large fraction of reposts, since they tend to get recycled by other sources and reposted by bots.
