I am in a mixed camp about joke posts and self-posts. On the one hand i think that posts like this and this don't really have any place here because:

A) They're not asking for advice.

B) They were posted not to actually ask for advice, but just to 'show off'. (seemingly)

I'm not saying that posts of well-dressed people caught by fantastic photography shouldn't be allowed, just that the abundance of these posts seems to detract from the whole advice part of this subreddit.

Of course there's a distinction to be made between posts which are obviously 'here's me looking amazing', and posts which are 'here's me looking good is it okay?' (an example of the latter is here) and i don't think I'm the one who is most able to make that distinction right now. If anything it should be a distinction made by the community (if they want to make one).

Those are just my thoughts anyway. I understand that the two images i linked at first can be beneficial to those who are looking to improve their own aesthetic, but i feel that they don't actually seek any advice, and nor do they offer any.

(I chose those three posts because they're currently two of the most upvoted posts of all time here at mfa)
