danionly Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 So then what is the point of having a warning system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stl_ben. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 There are several threads that exist for GIF posting. Use one of those. Problem solved. Some (most) people don't think they are funny, so, as a whole, the board shouldn't have to suffer. I don't think if the .gif is a legitimate response to what is being asked/said it should be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two can be funny. It turned into pages and pages. I guess I'm old and jaded, but that's not why I come here. If I wanna see clever photos or GIFs I'll hop on reddit.

Princess Logan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah, I don't think he needed to be banned. People have done far worse and have gotten away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandably so, that's been done with since about mid-day yesterday (from what I gather, being a brand new user and all.) I guess the main thing I question is the lack of warning, and a month seems like a pretty severe ban. Take from this what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanna see clever photos or GIFs I'll hop on reddit. I think those threads should have been locked long before any of that happened anyway, there was no relevant information being shared at the point this whole thing happened. I don't see how it's any different than someone posting the same thing over and over to get a thread locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmoney Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'm not commenting on the ban (as I don't know enough about it), but the GIFs proliferating several of the threads on the main board was awful. Really really awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanna see clever photos or GIFs I'll hop on reddit. yeah, but are gifs better or worse than the technically on topic pages and pages of assinine posts from people along the lines of 'did you get shipping confirmation?' 'not yet! did you?! i ordered 30 minutes ago and NOTHING YET WHERE IS MY VINYL?!?' i agree that just random repeated gif postings unrelated to anything can get annoying, but (obviously) i think that they are legitimate responses to peoples posts. 1 cat gif is worth 1000 words.

I don't see how it's any different than someone posting the same thing over and over to get a thread locked. I agree that people who post GIF after GIF on a thread that is not a GIF or related thread, should be warned not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stl_ben. Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Who banned "him"? No idea, how would he find out? I hear his browser just says: " [#1001] Your account has been temporarily suspended. This suspension is due to end on 18, June 2014 - 01:19 PM." Or something. I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
