yeah in the one day since the rule was implemented.

Funny to see that the very people that were posting shit and irrelevant pics (a talking fan or Thomas) are the ones complaining about this. You know, you just have what you deserved, and I hope fizzer won't ever allow you to post pictures again.

Do you realise if he doesn't get Ads back on Warlight then Warlight will not be able to fund itself and close down? I'm not sure you all understand the gravity of the situation here...

I do understand how serious the situation is.
I think pictures should be allowed for mail/clan-threads, though. I can totally understand, why he removed the pictures, and I wouldnt be surprised if Fizzer actually kept it that way.

None of them posted porn or the kind to begin with. The pictures were taken because of porn, not because of "shit and irrelevant pics". Fizzer doesn't really care about what we do in the off-topic as long as it doesn't bother papa google.

The pictures were taken because of porn

1.Fizzer has a dislike on Porn ✔
2.Loli is misbehaving ✔ (s/he got suspended for posting a picture of a person getting forced to eat a inappropriately shaped Japanese candy)

Cata Cauda, whilst I understand your point. All 3 systems are the same system, he can't easily change 1 without the others, and it's easier to be on the safe side anyway.

This is not going to happen. I am rather confident. It is part of Fizzer's case to Google when he appeals to show the measures he is taking to prevent further abuse of the privilege.

The option w/ the most votes will be reimplemented I guess to WL

Fan why do you try to make your polls the word of God? No matter what you do Fizzer will stick to what he thinks is best for WL, so stop lying...

It's not Fizzer's choice at this point. This site lost Google Ads- aka its main revenue stream- because of people abusing inline images. So there's restrictions now.

I don't think it's entirely necessary to have pictures be completely disallowed except for members. I've never seen ads get pulled from other sites I frequent because of images posted by members. Sadly, it was not because those sites had a more mature member-base than here, but simply because there was a larger moderation team which was a lot more heavy-handed. Roughly 50% of this sites forum posters would have been permbanned from those sites by now.

Short of using a completely different forum setup though, and having a team of moderators who can edit/delete posts, and ban users (at least from the forum if not ingame) though I think this is the best solution as if a member posts something inappropriate they can be banned. If a normal user posts something inappropriate they can also be banned, but they can make another account for free in a manner of minutes to sidestep the ban, as opposed to losing the money they spent on their member account when they receive the ban.

It's not like losing zero-click may-mays and now having one-click may-mays is a huge loss...

He could have removed them completely, at least members can still do it. If you're desperate to have an image in the forums just ask a member to do it for you, or just post the link.

And as Bane just proved, even Members shouldn't be allowed to post pictures...

(You should have added that option to your straw poll)

Not sure how Bane proved any such thing.

A picture of someone digging their own grave hardly seems like the type of thing anyone at google is going to take offense at.

Plus Bane is easier to handle than people like Ion.

But what if he did post porn, then what?

It's safer to just remove the whole thing.

Plus what if he went back and edited it to a picture of donkey sex and noboby went back to check, what then?

I think google would care if non-memebers could post images too, as they would want it off the whole site.

Edit: this about clan/mail threads.
