Wait, theres a new rule where someone can't post about their pedo activity, incest, and boning animals?! Thank you!!!!! Now then... I'm so so sorry but I need to pester you again about profile pictures. Can we please have them back?
:)
Why not? Profile pics are a basic feature on any forum. If it's to try to get more gold subscribers, it won't work.
As a former long-term gold subscriber who left then rejoined and bought gold after you changed things and then promptly stopped, it's easy to say why I stopped buying gold...access to the unmodded section, more valued user input and less shitposts. Why did you take that away? You fucked up. Put stronger troll controls on, like simply verifying a valid email to sign up. Then, let your dedicated, good users do the groundwork by doing some filtering in the unmodded. Instead, you went and limited comments severly to try to get rid of trolls but that just hurts real (or potential) real users and makes most say 'fuck it'. You took away everything that makes people stay but did nothing to deter people trolling the site. Simple curiosity about what is in the unmodded section will draw and keep more gold subscibers than yanking away profile pics will. There is free image hosting and messaging apps, ya know. It's too easy to get around that yet also too annoying to have to get around it to keep new users interested. Use your fucking head for something other than hat rack, bud. You have a potential moneymaker but you are throwing it away with every stupid choice you make.
I didn't get rid of profile pics because it's hard or expensive, but because it was abused and I'm sick of seeing dick & gore pics while cleaning them up. It's a choice I made, and I'm sorry that you're suffering because of it, but that's just how it's going to be.
Oh for fucks sake, the whole time I have been here I never saw one single dick pic. Not saying none existed, just saying it's never been a goddamn epidemic worthy of altering the site over.
I'm not suffering over it, I'm just saying it makes you and your forum look stupid and is one less reason for new or potential or any good users to stay. If the "problem" is as you say, with explicit pics (and who cares, you're supposed to be 18+ to use this site anyway), why not do the easier and more fair thing and ban that user or put in stronger troll guards, ban specific users who break the rules or are too offensive? Instead you punish all good users and yet do nothing to stop the troll issue. Sooooooo fucking simple to just require email verification and would cut out a lot of trolling and by cutting that out, you keep good users and lose a lot of the problems. Is this not obvious? How fucking dumb are you? Are you trying to win the award for most potential wasted on a single website? You fucking dumbass, wake up.
LOL, fair point. But why not only allow users with high karma to upload pics? Of course, you'd have to figure out how to throw out all the multi-account trolls upvoting each other. It was never like this a few years ago, what changed? Can't you just put in email verification?
Email verification won't help. People will just create throwaway email addresses at mailinator.com and a hundred other similar services. It might slow them down a little bit, but not by much. However it would make things much less anonymous for legitimate users with private questions.
I've recently added some behind the scenes measures against the multi-troll accounts that I think will help a lot and will continue adding more. Cat & Mouse. I will win eventually.
I might make it a gold feature, but I believe that only a handful of people care about this and it doesn't add much to the site, so I'm reluctant to do it.
It will too help. It takes a lot more work and time to create actual multiple email addresses than to what....just make one up entirely or use the same one over and over like you can do here now. How the fuck do you think requiring a valid (and unique) email address won't help the troll issue as compared to your total lack of any email controls? Seriously?
I'm not sure if I suggested this before, but perhaps assign a few regulars as mods so they can take down the bad posts and dick/gore pics? In exchange they can get IIN Gold for free and they'd be required to log in at least once a week? None of this is hostile and I'm not trying to suck up. I like you and the regulars on here. I can kind of see why they're frustrated and why you're frustrated. I appreciate the work youre doing and I appreciate the users on here that come here everyday.

You are a fucking idiot, no pun intended.

Only one man calls me hunny bunny on here. Are you that man? You must be.
I didn't get rid of profile pics because it's hard or expensive, but because it was abused and I'm sick of seeing dick & gore pics while cleaning them up. It's a choice I made, and I'm sorry that you're suffering because of it, but that's just how it's going to be.

You don't have to be so obnoxious about it.

That was about as far from obnoxious as one can be.

Swearing at someone for no reason is obnoxious.
