Subject: A request for Bungie Employees.

I am an unjust ban magnet. Thank you, Qbix89, you really are a rogue moderator. I hope you get disbanded soon.

I am aware that Bungie Employees are able to post pictures in their posts. That got me thinking.

Please could you let us post pictures in our private groups if we are the moderators in them?

Wake me, when you need me.

I could see it now. Bnet isn't an imageboard. If you want to make a group about furries have at it. Just don't think you'll be allowed to have that filth plastered on to your chapters.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

The reason why pictures not allowed... is because... people are a bunch of sickos.

No. What if some guy posts Meatspin on the forums? That's your answer.

Did you know: Allowing users to embed an image could allow them to gain information about your location (eg. IP address, hostname), computer (eg. Operating System, system language), browser (type, version, capabilities), and referral information (the exact URL of the page you're currently viewing with the image on it).

No, Bungie has this limited for a reason.

Don't forget about geotagging. Some pictures have the gps coordinates where they were taken embedded in them, so you could accidentally tell the whole world where you live.

Wait, are you saying that whenever I click on a link that leads to an image ( like the contents of the swag bag) I could have info. compromised?

No, he's saying if there were imbedded pictures in a thread then the person that put the picture there could have a 3rd party discover his details.

My advice to OP, do what I did, and make a free off-site forum. If you have the community (20+ guys on mine, all regularly active, love them all), you won't regret it. The frustration of not being able to make nice, picture-ful, colourful posts in private groups here, is just confusing to me.

And about the whole 'get your info from images' etc, let me just say that their's risks in EVERYTHING in life. But sometimes, we just want to do things that make us smile, and posting pictures in our own private forum threads sometimes does that. Well it certainly does on the forum that I'm in, no examples of which could possibly be given here.

So yeah, don't expect Bungie to change this, as doing so would apparently kill the website. But do go and make your own forum. :)

To a degree, yes.

If you click a link a to an image, then that information I listed above is sent over the Internet and the image is downloaded. Whereas if an image is embedded in a page, that process happens automatically just after the main portion of the page is loaded.

It isn't limited to images either. Any time you click a link to a webpage the same information is sent, as it is for any other objects that are on the page (eg. javascripts, css, etc...). Did you know that every time you load a page on bungie.net, information (the same that I listed) is also sent to google-analytics.com?

Well, see?

This is why we can't do this.

I see, so basically if I click a link to an webpage, the information that you posted above is transfered across the internet, while if it was embedded in the forums, it would happen automatically once the webpage was downloaded, right?
In addition, is googleanalytics a safe site? I would assume so, since Bungie is allowing them to check out our info., am I correct?

While I would love to have this implemented, as dazz said, too many security issues would come along with it.

Wake me, when you need me.

Daza is correct. I've spent a lot of time browsing (Insert stupid website here. Yeah, that one) and they are extremely good about finding your info. So many people have had their information comprised because they posted a picture from facebook, etc.
