the_tallest1 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 [hide=Announcement]We have been discussing allowing real life pictures off and on ever since the last suggestion for it. Recently the subject has come up again, and the staff is in agreement that allowing them would make a perfect holiday present to the Tip.It Community. This means you can now post real life pictures as long as they follow a few rules: [*:36p64jce]Any pictures showing personal information must be cropped or blocked out of the picture. This includes: addresses, license plates, last names, etc. [*:36p64jce]No pictures showing illegal activities or use of drugs. [*:36p64jce]No pictures that are risque or sexual in nature.Where are some of the places that real life pictures are allowed? [*:36p64jce]In signatures and avatars [*:36p64jce]In your Blogscape Blog [*:36p64jce]Off Topic [*:36p64jce]On private forumsOne thing we ask is not to create topics on the Runescape Boards just for posting real life pictures. Those belong in Off Topic. We will not allow any mean or hurtful comments regarding someone's picture. Such behavior will NOT be tolerated and anyone found to be doing this will be seriously punished. If all you have to say is something negative, simply don't say it. Lastly, please use good judgment in what you post. We'd rather not disallow them again due to a few irresponsible people. Happy Holidays, The Tip.It Staff[/hide] Please use this topic to discuss the change in the rules regarding real life personal pictures. If you have any questions this is the place to ask them. If you want to post pictures please use this sticky located in Off Topic instead of creating a new thread specifically for it. 571st to 99 Fm Nov. 4 '06 - 315th to 99 Crafting Mar. 3 '07 - 3410th to 99 Fishing Sept. 18 '0726378th to 99 Cooking Oct. 16 '07 -.- 99 Thieving Dec. 29 '07 - 1343rd to 99 Farming June 5 '081807th to 99 Agility Nov. 8 '08 - 3094th to 99 Smithing Feb. 14 '092012 total - 91 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_tallest1 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Cool. Why the sudden change of stance, though? Well as some might recall, there were several of us, me included, that have liked the idea but the Staff as a whole could not reach consensus and the arguments against it were understandable, as noted the last time this was suggested. Despite what some might think (:P) we've discussed this multiple times privately since then and steadily have been leaning more towards allowing them. We've relaxed several things around the forum, the censor for example, and this seemed a natural extension to it. One of the Staff (I won't single them out but they can come forward if they like) had the idea to do this as a holiday gift to the forum and I think everyone decided this seemed like a perfect time to finally do it. We hope everyone enjoys the new changes and that everyone can abide by the few remaining restrictions on pictures. 571st to 99 Fm Nov. 4 '06 - 315th to 99 Crafting Mar. 3 '07 - 3410th to 99 Fishing Sept. 18 '0726378th to 99 Cooking Oct. 16 '07 -.- 99 Thieving Dec. 29 '07 - 1343rd to 99 Farming June 5 '081807th to 99 Agility Nov. 8 '08 - 3094th to 99 Smithing Feb. 14 '092012 total - 91 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ard_Choille Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Could you explain your reasoning? Just though it'd be interesting to know. We're doing all we can to make Tip.It as friendly as it can be. You've all voiced your opinions (several times) that it should be allowed. We're inclined to agree with you at this point, so long as it's handled properly. Enjoy! - Ard - - My deviantART Page - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebdragon Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Awesome update :mrgreen: . Quick inquiry though: does anyone think that there's going to be major flooding of the thread (possibly moronic question), if it will last, and most importantly, if it'll be a problem? I'm sure it'll die down massively after the first week, but with all of Tip.it diverting to one single thread, won't we get like a page or two a minute :-k ? Personally, I'm not sure it's going to be a problem, but it could become physically impossible to talk on the thread, especially tomorrow :lol: . Whether or not it's a problem, any ideas for trafficking :-k ? I mean, sure, it's a thread for posting pictures, not ongoing conversations (which generally eventually get deleted from what I've seen on other boards), but I'd like to be able to talk with the few people (OT'ers) that I actually care about seeing pic's of. Again, that's possible right now at night, but come midday Sundey... o_O. [if you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.] Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

the_tallest1 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 If the pages start going by too fast we'll see if we can spread the load out a bit. If it becomes that bad, temporarily making separate ones for various boards could work, such as M&M, General etc. We'll see how it goes and if it starts becoming impossible to chat on the thread then we'll make changes (chatting back and forth is half the fun so it's understandable to want to be able to). 571st to 99 Fm Nov. 4 '06 - 315th to 99 Crafting Mar. 3 '07 - 3410th to 99 Fishing Sept. 18 '0726378th to 99 Cooking Oct. 16 '07 -.- 99 Thieving Dec. 29 '07 - 1343rd to 99 Farming June 5 '081807th to 99 Agility Nov. 8 '08 - 3094th to 99 Smithing Feb. 14 '092012 total - 91 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I think you just need to be clear in enforcing that nobody ages 13 or under posts a picture of themselves.

Unless they're like 8 [or possibly even younger], is it even possible to be sure :| ? Whether or not it's a problem, any ideas for trafficking :-k ?

Again, that's possible right now at night, but come midday Sundey... o_O. Could you make it a PM conversation? PM conversations are between only two people, and are generally rather dull- I'm thinking more of a thread conversation, between a larger group of people. I mean, I'm not just looking for other people's pictures; I'd like to talk with everyone too :P .

You should also make sure that everyone knows the possible risks of posting a RL picture of theirself. 8,325th to 99 Firemaking 3/9/08 | 44,811th to 99 Cooking 7/16/084,968th to 99 Farming 10/9/09 | Runescaper August 2005-March 2010Tip.it Mod Feb. 2008-Sep. 2008 | Tip.it Crew Sep. 2008-Nov. 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
