Rule 1 and 5 I agree because those are not memes (like screenshots from xitter, that's not a fucking meme). They can be funny or worth sharing, but they are not memes.
Rule 4 because those are just lame and boring.

Rule 2 meh.
Rule 6 I agree when the same one has been constantly posted by karma-farmers or when the image/video has been compresed, censored and watermarked to death.

But rule 3... A meme is something that managed to go viral, by definition it got so used that everyone and their mother knows about it and how to use it... It's meant to be overused (until brands use it, then it's dead).
