a meme was originally used to describe repeated patterns in genetics, and is fundamentally another way to say "mimic," so we could build an argument for a totally different way to moderate content here.
but the spirit of the community is to showcase the modern internet meme, so I think taking the narrow definition of "new jokes over repeated images" is more appropriate than a literal definition of the word itself.
