(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 26 Mar 2013, 13:57, Reply)

It's really quite simple.
Pictures of any kind are usually frowned upon on off topic, however well received they are.
Generally if you are going to post them, you keep them relatively small and SFW.
It helps if you are already a popular poster, if you are planning on stepping outside these guidelines.

I suspect that you already knew all of this though.

In IE you can't turn off images per tab. Only for the browser. Why should they do that when it takes even less effort for somebody to not post a picture?

right
so how is one to guess this rule exists on offtopic? and how is one to know that it's a stepping offence?

you're insisting on enforcing your rules on this board, they're nothing to do with the rules in the FAQ. If people "transgress", you have a go at them for it, they get arsey and either troll you or just leave, what do you expect?

the fact is the IMG tag works on offtopic, whether in a new thread or a reply, if you don't like it then I suggest you leave.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 26 Mar 2013, 14:39, Reply)

It's not a "rule". It's a preference. Each board has its own little preferences.
You know this. There's no need for anybody to get stroppy over it. If you post images, and I'm not saying you can't, you're likely to be ignored. Either by people just not posting in the thread or by people actively ignoring you.

If you don't like your images not being well received then I, in response, suggest you leave. We haven't come over to talk and started getting stroppy over the fact that you don't like food threads or whatever, you've come over here and got stroppy over us preferring not to have pictures on the board.

Again, nobody is saying you can't post them, just don't be surprised if it doesn't go down well.
( Kroney, Tue 26 Mar 2013, 14:42, Reply)

thing is
this place seems to have a lot of rules that I was unaware of and that aren't in the FAQ.

No one told me you "shouldn't" post a picture in a new thread, there's fuck all in the FAQ about it and yet it is deemed a transgression of the unwritten laws because b3th says so.
