View Full Version : GIF spamming
Vicky.

There have been a lot of complaints recently regarding certain members spamming GIFS. While GIFs themselves are not against the rules, posting a large amount of them in a small space of time/posting mainly in GIFs in general, is not allowed and will result in infractions/bans.
This includes in chat threads.
Not everyone has a quick connection, and it can be very annoying waiting 5 minutes for a thread to load, only because one or two people have been overusing GIFs in it.
(I did an announcement on this too, but want a reminder in here for when the announcement disappears)

Spoiler tags wouldn't do anything to help speed up pages anyway surely, right? You're not going to a new page when you open a spoiler. The .gif still has to load and plays on the same loop it's just ... less visible.

Is this about my Hangover GIFs recently?
If it is then;

But tbh I haven't noticed many people posting THAT many GIFs recently, so whoever's complaining clearly hasn't been around when Scott and The X Factor GIFs were at it's peak.

And yes, posting GIFs in spoilers does help.
The GIF doesnt start loading until the spoiler button is pressed. Checked with someone who doesnt fail like I do :laugh:

Wait is that why a Mod put my GIF in a Spoiler Tag on my SIG or is it to do with the fact it contains a naughty word that would probably really annoy James...alot?
Either way - fair play to the mod for not being a douche and removing it completely.
I literally smiled - took a drink of my tea and smiled again the other morning when I seen it was just moved into a spoiler tag and not deleted :lovedup:
We are making brilliant progress in the whole Member/Mod Peace Process. :lovedup:

I don't see why people are so fussed to know why people have been banned from this forum - it does not concern them in any way. It's just silly.

It does when they are permabanned and they make a return using new IP address.

Er, when you've been on the forum for a very long period of time - you build up friendships with alot of people on here and get to know everyone as if you know them in real life.
So when they are suddenly banned for good or something - it's only right their friends who have spoken to them for X amount of years; would like to know why they won't be returning to the forum.

It's got nothing to do with The Hangover, it's just because the GIF is quite awesome :bored:.
