I am not talking about threads that picture-spam. I am talking about threads that are locked or deleted just because they have pictures, like the one I used as an example.

I would like to discuss the general dislike of pictures among mods in the OT forum. For example: this thread http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=596572 was locked. The OP asked about things that can kill you, and people posted pictures that were things that could kill them. There was nothing spammy about it. I can simplify "bad" pictures into two types: 1) Spam 2) Not Family-Friendly In most of the OT threads/posts that have been locked/deleted, the image didn't fit into either 1 or 2. If we add a 3rd category, however, things start to make sense. 3) pictures with words on them To put it simply, the mods don't like pictures with words on them, and the "spammy pictures" argument: Can't really be used because...well...the pictures aren't spammy. So I don't really know what you should do to fix this. Maybe add a rule that says "No funny pictures"? Making a "share random pictures" sticky is like making a "share random emoticons" sticky. Emoticons are no fun unless they're used in the context of a specific topic. What makes you think pictures are any different?

Hmmm Skittles seems like a wise investment to me! Yum! And that guitar is sexy. :wink: Though, I would consider spending that money on a present for my life partner. :o

I got a machop still in it's packaging :uhh: All of my cards are still well-cared for, but they're not still in their packaging. Pokemon is so cool.

Oh my god. I totally agree. That man has got to have NO money left whatsoever. He's crazy! :ohnoes:

In Soviet Russia, MTV Plays you. Voyeurs.. :shame:

Especially since chess has the white peices starting first :-w . Oh yeah, the clouds are racist too. Only on sunny days, though.
