Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

IDEA:

Enable embedding, BUT the viewer must click a button like "view image" to actually see the picture. Upon clicking "view image", the picture appears below the post text.

That way, there would be no images unless the viewer chooses to view it, and it won't take you to a potentially harmful website. Although there's still possibility for abuse, you won't open a thread and immediately see pr0nz spammed everywhere.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Nope, terrible idea. We have to look at each link before we click it as it is. If the trolls could just imbed the pictures? Bad bad bad idea. I mean I already dread every time I see that cena has posted.

If it tastes like toast, smells like toast. Wait, why are you smelling toast?

This is the only forum I've seen without embeddable images, maybe it's because there are too many 12 years olds on here.

Bungie.net is (or used to be) one of the more active gaming Forums, if not THEE most.

Giving trolls the ability to post pics on a forum like this wouldn't go so well, even if they could just that ability stripped from them, Trolls will just make alts indefinitely.

However, I've always been of fan of giving long term, dedicated members some extra tools. So I think it'd be fair enough to let Mythic Members and Ninjas post images. They're in small numbers, so if one makes a mistake it's not like the whole site would fall to pieces.

Why don't you just give me ONE SECOND!

I might agree that maybe the Mythic members could have the ability, and be limited to so many MB per month / week / day for img use, however I'm sure it could be abused in some way or another.

So, no. People are immature, and the flood would just pretty much explode it's brains. Or some jerk bag would post seizure inducing rainbow .gifs and someone would sue Bungie, lawl...

Besides, images slow down loading and performance. Tbh, I hate image loaded threats. It isn't clean and organized.

And besides, this is a gaming forum. You don't need to post pictures in gaming forms. Sure we have an OT forum but even then.

For those who were around when a site exploit (permitting users to embed images in forum posts) was discovered and quickly shared amongst the membership, it was an...... unpleasant day or two.
I'm still kicking myself for missing that day.

ISU Cyclones!

Someone wiser than me once said that the whole site would turn into reaction pics in every thread trying to be funnier than the last.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Was it worth bumping this completely dead thread to tell someone something other people had already told him? Really?

I can see a tool like adding images to be very helpful, but unfortunately there are those who would use in a not so helpful way.
