We as staff have come to the conclusion that the 'lolcat's and 'caturday's have become too much.
As of now a new rule will come into effect which is that:
- There is a limit of ONE per person in each thread.
- The images will be no more than 200x200 px.
If you repeatedly fail to comply, you will receive a one week ban.
These 'lolcat's take up too much space and are usually way off topic in the threads they are posted in.
| QUOTE | We don't like 'lolcat' spam. This forum is to discuss things about GW unless posted in the Off-Topic forum and it will stay that way.
There is not need for masses of 'lolcat's and random pictures to take up space. 90% of the time, they have nothing to do with the topic. Therefore, we have made this rule. |
| QUOTE | They are still allowed just in moderation. People with slower computers may not load the site as fast and make it less pleasurable.
THEY ARE STILL ALLOWED JUST IN MODERATION. |
Sincerely,
The Staff.

Wow. Way to rain on the parade. Talk about major time party poopers. New rule = Epic Fail.

On a side note...you are just making stuff up as you go. The rule you posted was for lol cats and caturday pictures only and now you say all others as well? Changing the rules mid-game = Epic Fail.
I for one am VERY disappointed in this new rule.

We should outlaw posts longer than a page as well. I mean; come on guys they take up too much space! No one actually reads them anyway we should just do away with it! Any post longer than three paragraphs or that contains proper spelling and grammar is just too long.
So lets just outlaw everything fun about forums and stick to things that will get people banned for trivial reasons. I mean it's not like we can come up with a better resolution so lets just ban everyone who posts a funny picture. We don't need to look at context or give warnings or do things actual moderators or staff are supposed to do we'll just ban people and make the site even less fun to post on. [/sarcasm]
This is insanely dumb. There are a bunch of other ways you can limit or contain space on the forums. You could implament something similar to Narutofan and add spoiler tags so that you can hide images for people who don't want to see them. Or you could actually do your jobs as moderators and delete posts that cause troubles. Funny images don't hurt anyone this is just insane. I can see how you would need to lay down ground rules but coming to the conclusion of an immediate ban for a week is ridiculous.
You can easily let the community know that excess of images that aren't appropriate or take up too much space wont be tolerated. You're going from one extreme (not caring or doing anything) to another (banning people).
You're all ridiculous. Maybe you should actually try doing your jobs instead of banning people. So I'm going to get banned for two things now, flaming and posting an image, screw you guys I'm goin home!

Loophole alert...Just quote other people's lolcat posts. You are technically not posting it and since it's someone else's cat you can do it as many times as you want since it's not your one single post ^_^. If the admins nerf this with the rule (which I'm sure they will) then they definitely = EPIC FAIL. nuff said

Just simply putting a quote around something is pretty much posting it.

I apologize if I made it sound too harsh.
What I meant to say:
If you repeatedly fail to comply you will get a one week ban. We don't try to just ban people and not do our jobs. People just do not follow the rules. No one has been banned in a while for anything other than gold spamming.
'lolcat's are still allowed, just in moderation.

You guys make this sound as if we are banning all funny pictures from the forums.
We are not. They are still allowed just in moderation. People with slower computers may not load the site as fast and make it less pleasurable.
THEY ARE STILL ALLOWED JUST IN MODERATION.
Please stop making it sound like we are outlawing them.
