But surely
posting a reminder for a guideline designed to reduce a problem, which actually increases the problem, makes a mockery of the guideline you're so vehemently trying to encourage people to adhere to, doesn't it? Hardly the best way to promote the guideline, I feel. I mean, if people cared so much about their precious bytes, a simple "Hey, that image is a little large. Could you reduce it to under 50k?" would suffice. To save even more precious bytes, they could also decide to delete their comment if they notice that someone has already pointed it out to the original poster.

The outrage that usually ensues after someone posts an over-the-limit picture suggests that most people care more about the principal of someone breaking the rules, than the rules themselves.

How does posting a pic that's within B3ta guidelines increase the problem?
It's not about keeping the overall board bytes to a minimum. That's just retarded. It's about setting some kind of limit so B3ta isn't a crazy free for all.

I know exactly what this is. Seems B3tans love to have a common enemy to bitch at, no matter who it is. I've seen this same kind of thread grow out of control when it's in favour of my kind of behaviour. Basically, there's a bunch of cunts on this board who just love an excuse to jump on a bitching bandwagon. They don't seem to care if they're talking smack or not.
