The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.

I'm mildly intrigued by this possibility.
But people with cable etc may be the majority, but they are not everyone. And maybe its not the bandwidth, but the nineteen .gif's that take a dump on someones limited RAM.
As for firefox, my work computer doesnt allow most users to install new programs, so you get stuck with IE or whatever crap thing is built in.
posting a NSFW or enormous image in spoiler tags is not ok. You will be treated as though you posted them normally. The images still load.
That doesn't give you permission to put whatever you want in there but it would serve as a haven for traditional SE shenanigans.
Secret Satan
No-one should have to go to all that trouble because someone wants to be a fucktard.
Whoop-dee-fucking-doo, you have broadband, so do I. Some people don't, and we shouldn't expect them to have to try and keep up on their own when it's easier to just restrict gif size anyway.

yeah that sounds like an acceptable amount of work and effort to go through just so a few people can continue being fucking retards once in a while
thanks, you're really good at this
because stupid faggots tend to be stupid faggots
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
Traditional SE shenangians have never been explicitly NSFW.
We're sophisticated enough to prevent that.
use some fucking common sense. this is SE++, if you expect everyone to follow the rules perfectly then you deserve to run the risk of seeing NSFW images.
play safe and block images.
sure, its not an ideal situation, and enforcing the rules is probably a better idea. but the forums as they are now are really not safe all the time, especially SE++.
browse smart.
I think you should add that spoiler stuff to the rules.
Not that often in SE.
People in G&T now use it basically just to check it's still there.
Chicks who dress in short skirts deserve to see NSFW images at work.
Just saying "This is SE++" is not an excuse to be a dick and post NSFW stuff. SE++ is more laid back than most forums, but some stuff is just not cool.
or how about no, follow the fucking rules jackass
if you think SE++ is about wantonly displaying nearly naked dudes and gigantic fucking gifs even though the rules clearly say otherwise
well
4chan is that way :arrow:
I don't know if that was a PA instituted thing or just a function of the boards.
too bad you're not mr. paku, because this is a great point.
edit: although I wonder if the images are really coming from forums.pennyarcade.com. What about links from elsewhere (like photobagel)?
That is not what I said at all. Dont invent scenarios.
I was saying that if you browse SE++ at work then you are almost accepting a certain risk upon entry.
I mean for fucks sake, its SE++. Sure, even if every member followed the rules perfectly there would still be some fucktard who would break em. Then what are you gonna do, bitch and moan that someone on the internet wasnt a perfect and upstanding human being? Goddamit, this is the internet. Take your own fucking precautions rather than rely on the behavior of others.
yeah SE could afford to use it a little more. It's not a huge hassle or anything. I spend maybe five minutes a day going through the reports.
ah, with the death of the G&T chat thread the targets are far and few these days anyways, so it's not all that bad
there are plenty of dumbshits deserving beratement and tubgirl elsewhere on the internet though so it's ok
The rules exist so that we can browse SE++ without having to accept certain risk upon entry.
Your point is moot.
Make sure they are animated and over 500k
I mean
We all took the risk right?
Do you get vigilante forumers who report every little thing as bad?
A "Jerry Falwell" forumer, if you will.
you are bad at this.
It's okay, he has broadband.
And if I did, and you were at work. Would you complain that you got fired because the admins didnt enforce the rules.
Or would you take your own fucking precautions and block images, or other means?
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
And wouldn't see them anyway because he blocks things.
Yeah, they get either a stern talking to or fucked in the face depending on whether me or ramius sees the report first
No one wins in an internet argument
I'd report you and you'd get banned.
last thing i remember is some guys images he hotlinked turned into porn
that's about it
