    Images

    The moderators have on several occasions hinted to me that they discourage posting images. There is nothing in volconvo.com rules giving any guidlines on images. Ultimately, the decision lies with the folks running the site.

    I propose one of the following amendment to volconvo.com rules:

    Images & attached files must be tasteful and serve a purpose in a thread beyond comedic value, ridicule, etc.

    Images may be removed at moderator's discretion.

    Images will not be allowed at volconvo.com.


    Discuss.

    I can't imagine the problem assuming the image isn't against the rules, in which case a mod could delete it quickly.

    Seems that Volconvo wouldn't even be hosting the image, if you use the img tags..

    Mind linking to where and why you feel the mods discourage posting images?

    Powerful.. magical.. e-e-e-eevil..

    Zhavric,

    The images you posted were used in an attempt to insult another member. This has nothing to do with simply the fact that they were pictures.

    I strongly recommend you speak to Matt W. He seemed to have a different opinion on the matter which he expressed to me in private message.

    Yes, understandable. We were having a conversation in the staff forum and he seemed to be of the opinion that any images were unwanted. We'll discuss the matter.

    So in other words:

    "The pictures I posted were done so to insult or ridicule another member. The rules don't prohibit this, so why was I given an infraction."

    Maybe it's not the pictures, but the attitude behind them, being given the infraction?

    Visual aids are quite useful in a thread, and even entertaining in specific threads for pictures (Finest Women, Post Your Picture).

    Insulting other members is against the rules.

    Nice & misleading, Z.

    I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
