Img tags in AH (FOR MODS)

Giblet

Any chance of getting this turned on? It would be handy for the charter (and misc hilarity)

Rabies

I think img tags were removed from AH because of Slydice threads along with other image heavy threads. Wasn't really fair on all those without BB. At this stage nearly the majority of Boards users have BB.

Would it be possible to have it switched back on for all users? Or is that asking for trouble in AH?

Basq

Yes.. if only for the Goatse / TubGirl / LemonParty antics that would ensue! :rolleyes:

Lump

Asking for trouble I'd say. It's spammy enough in there atm.

That could be asking for trouble... people posting illicit links (like the one that screams "Im watching gay porno" etc) is bad enough... but pictures to go with it :I

Karl Hungus

It's very annoying when you can't post an image when it really suits the situation.

In fairness, the kind of people who'd post tubgirl and the like are going to end up being banned sharply anyway, so I don't think it really makes any odds.

Because we all know a mod or subscriber would never act the eejit.

Giblet

Yeah they would, but hey at least we're accountable right?

I meant only for mods

Amz

I understand why you'd want it, there have been times I'd have liked to use a picture on the English forum (purely for divilment), but couldn't because IMG tags are turned off.

I just feel that there's no need to give this kind of thing as a "perk" to subscribers.

Giblet

Yeah I don't care about subscribers. They have big avatars and I don't

Karl Hungus

There's just something about Ponch that mere words lack:



Image tags are needed.

True, AH usually has a mod or two floating around to ban/delete/edit.

Mods sometimes need that level of sarcasm. Goes with the flashlight and shiny badge.

Fiver for a lemonparty stint in AH?

Might be worth it to the right person.

But hey, if they want to, more money for boards for what is a relatively easy to clean up affair.

Karl Hungus

Not heard of a Lemon Party before, so I googled it, and this came up:



I am genuinely perplexed.

Man, that looks like an awesome party.

(you probably have safe search turned on, lemonparty is three naked old men sucking each other off).

You want to go for a drink some time hot stuff? Maybe to a GAYBAR??!

No, I don't have any safe search. I saw the 3 old men aswell, it's just that very bizarre image caught my eye.

How many mods were banned/deleted/edited?

Are Hmods real mods? Do they count?

Nope.

Are people talking about a mod from any other forum being able to use IMG tags? I thought the idea was that a mod is no different to a regular user outside of the forum he/she moderates?

Talliesin

Image tags on AH would be a bad idea IMO. I present this thread as evidence.

I don't like the idea of mods or subscribers having too many perks beyond that of normal users. Currently the perks mods and subscibers get fall into two categories:

1. "Thank you's" - things that it's relatively easy to give to people, or relatively easy to give to people as long as there aren't too many people to deal with, which thank mods and subscribers for their part in keeping the site going.
2. Access to the Sex and Sexuality forum, which was seen as a way to help keep some of the possible pitfalls of such a forum from affecting us.

And of course mods also have tools to help them mod.

While arguably allowing image tags for mods and subscribers only on AH follows the same logic as allowing them access to S&S it remains the fact that it is easy for the S&S mods to have read every post on that forum. This is not the case on AH and borderline material could slip through more easily. Also S&S has a very different moderation ethos to AH - while it allows for topics of discussion AH doesn't, there are different standards as to what one is allowed to say on those topics. In all, I don't think the case is analogous.

I don't really see the correlation between this thread and what could possibly happen if

RE*AC*TOR

I agree with Hobart.

You should turn it on for everybody.

Also as an experiment you should lock After Hours for a week and see what effect it has on the other forums (fora?).

It's grand as is.

Turning it on for everybody would result in pages upon pages of pictures of Orly owls and the like. Someone would announce that forumspile exists and there would be chaos. Of course this is going on the basis that the average AH user knows how to use imageshack.

What about the HMods?




(There should be a gathering card for this.)

I'd honestly say boards numbers online would drop and that atlest 1/3 rd of users would then be on feedback.

that's one hypothesis.

I still think it might be worthwhile to see what happens if people are "forced" to choose other forums for their posts. Might stimulate a lot of conversation on otherwise sleepy forums.
