People (Smithy) are over using them now and they are so ****ing annoying. The amount there being used must be slowing peoples internets down when their going into the threads they're being used in.
Wouldn't be so bad if it was gifs of different things but it's always some ******...
Admin/Mods, do your jobs and ban gifs.

To the best of my knowledge gifs aren't against the rules, While I agree that excessive use is a bad idea i'm not opposed to occasional use. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of setting that can prevent pictures being shown no?

I like seeing pictures, just not millions of moving pictures of the Madonna wannabee.

What Smithy said, if you feel certain people are overusing gifs then you can put them on ignore and you won't see them. They're not as overused as they used to be really so I have no problem with them.
As for the quote thing, maybe it would be best for people to stop quoting gif posts? that way people who like to use gifs can use them without slowing down others. Everyone's happy.

Ninastar and the Gypsy will never go along with this, not unless it is added to the rules.

Because being rude will get you everywhere.
It's not against the rules, the only thing I'm going to say is that people probably need to be a bit more considerate when using them.

I think they should be regarded and treated in the same way as txt speech to be honest with you. They add nothing to the forum except if you enjoy waiting a few more mins for a page to load.

More excuses to moan I see.
Its perfectly easy to put the people who are using GIFS on ignore, as has already been pointed out. And I'm sure if you ask the people that quote them NICELY they would have no problem stopping doing that.
And if they annoy you as much as you say they so, there is an option to turn off images. No way should they be regarded the same as text speech, the only reason this was said was because you do not like ONE member who is posting them. look around, smithy is not the only person to use gifs.
On the other hand, smithy I do agree you were overusing them a bit yesterday.

But surely if you turn off images you wont be able to see any of them, right? I mean not just gifs but the lot. Or am I wrong?
As for the ignore button... eh, why should we have to do that? I've never put anyone on ignore and don't intend to.

You would not be able to see any images if you turn them off.
The ignore thing, if they DID bother you so much, you would use ignore, especially as it is only one person that most of you in here are moaning about. Simple. Some people just like any excuse to moan.

Not really. I think there's quite a few that overuse them. And why should the rest of us have to turn them off? I like seeing a few funny pics from time to time.

Well whats the problem with putting the few people that do in your opinion over use them on ignore then?
Especially since chances are you dont like the people in question anyway.

I never said you HAD to put anyone on ignore.
But if the gifs off one person bother you so much that you feel the need to moan on about it, then it is easier to just put that person on ignore. No more gifs. Sorted.

I like looking at normal pictures, just not thousands of gifs. And I pointed out Smithy because I was trying to read a thread posted yesterday and there must have been at least 20 gifs posted (probably all of the man gaga) and they kept freezing my Firefox, I had to restart it in the end.
If I put Smithy on ignore pretty much every single thread would be full of "This person is on your ignore list - click here to see the post" because he posts so much because he is on here pretty much 24/7...
And I have very nicely let Ninastar and Gypsy Goth know about the new rule :)

Thats ok isn't it? I mean, he seems to annoy you by pretty much existing anyway :laugh:
I wonder if there is a way to remove that message actually...I remember I used to have someone on ignore and it came up with that. Its not really ignoring them if you can still see where they post.
But yes, the pure amount of gifs used last night was ridiculous. That is very rare though. And I see no reason to ban them totally :)

What they are doing is not against the rules. It does however irritate YOU.
So you are the one with the problem, so instead of moaning, do the one thing you can do :S
Not that that will happen.
