Nice pics
 

I don't post here much, or reply for that matter, but I do stop in and read. I also play on the blue server for fun in my spare time. Stopped in to read a little this afternoon, sent Timarian a PM about some gear he was / is giving away, and then started at the top of the threads...

Nice pics, seriously. Should put a stop to that. Seems like a pretty easy decision to me.

I play your server most times with my son on my lap, occasionally popping out to look at the forums and wiki. I'm glad I was at work and not at home for that image.

The admins can't put a stop to people using proxies, but you can put a stop to seeing such images by going into your user control panel and turning them off.

Look at the post date/time relative to the current date/time, then realize that we don't have robots patrolling the forums 60/60/24/7, but instead real people who can't be F5 heroes.

Thanks for being on top of things Rogean. Is there a way you can flag new accounts so they can't post pictures and gifs until a certain post count or time frame? It's too bad that someone has to see this stuff before it can be removed and the process can't be automated somehow.

Huh.

I feel pretty stupid now.

Unfortunately there are situations a new account may need to legitimately post pictures (Petition forum).. but maybe turning it into a link instead may work. I'll see if there's a vbulletin hack out there for it.

Ditto the "huh".
No clue what your talking about. My assumption is you're telling me it's my fault.

Well I guess it needs to be spelled out.

Your post implied that the posting of these graphical images were allowed by our forum rules, but on the contrary they have been deleted on site. I told you to check the time on the post relative to your current time (usually if you're looking at a post, it was posted recently), and understand that there hasn't yet been a chance for a forum moderator to delete it yet.

I then explained that forum moderators are not able to refresh (F5) the forums all day every day to constantly check new posts for content that needs to be deleted. Instead, the report feature is helpful in that it will send an email to the moderators and the post will be reviewed and deleted if necessary relatively quickly, but not instantaneously.

Thanks Rogean for staying vigilant, but something seriously needs to be done. This has been going on for over a week now I think. I'm getting ready to unbookmark these forums.

And I think simply telling all users to disable pictures is a cop out.

You dont need to disable pictures. Just make it that they are link you have to click.

User CP > Setting and options > Edit options > Thread display options > Uncheck Show images box.

Don't click on links to pics from people with a join date as current month and only 1-5 posts.

If everyone just did this and took matters into their own hands then the GMs, Guides and administrators can get back to more important and pressing issues.
