Forums General Discussion Admin, please read this concerning another post

Post this is about: "It has come to my attention that"

Can admin delete that post and possibly ban that user? It would be especially bad if a kid clicked on that URL.

And is there a way for a user to disable pictures inside the posts? Not the user's picture, but other pictures. I've checked the options, and it doesn't look like it.

Yes I believe it will be removed ASAP...

thank god Ive downloaded (from MS I believe) a program (believe it's called Internet Explorer Power Toys or something) that allows me to toggle the picture settings from show all to hide all

I think I have the same thing. How do I disable all pictures like you've said? I don't want to go there and even try. Still trying to block that out. I hope that user gets their level 4 address banned, or whatever. Like num.num.num.* banned. Or better yet, their ISP, provided it broek any of this forum's rules. Cause think about if a 13 year old kid came by and saw that.

well...im only 16...

well, you have to figure out where the install dropped the files. ive renamed the dirs myself, but I use the file/program called: Toggle Images.exe from the IE toolbar

Images.exe and all external plugins will only disable ALL images or none. It wouldn't be able to detect if they are posted images or forum smilies and other similar graphics.

Judging by the outrage, I'm guessing that someone must have posted 'goatse' or 'tubgirl' to the forums again. Trolls go around hitting all web boards with this lameness... just put it out of your mind, they're photoshopped anyway.

The only solution I can think of is to do something like this. Put in the board's ToS that posting nudity images will result in like a $500 per fine per picture, that you agree to. Cause it wouldn't be hard to tell who did it. Since I'm sure all the I.P.s are logged. if they use a proxy, it can still be traced, just takes a bit longer. In the end, you can find out who did it basically.

3 points why that won't ever happen:

1. Who's going to enforce that fine? Khaled and Tjerk? No government or ISP would ever help in something so trivial.
2. Who decides exactly what nudity is?
3. It is perfectly possible for someone to post here and make it completely impossible to trace back to them.

BTW there's a 'notify moderator' button on each post so that you don't have to create threads like this one.

Altho we cant quarantee that a moderator will be here 24.7, we do check the boards regularly and make every effort to remove offensive posts asap. As mentioned in another post, there is a notify moderator button you can use to get our attention about posts like that. Trust me, we dont like them any more than you do.

No, you cant block out pics included in a post, only the avatars ppl may use (under their nick beside posts)

Its a sad fact of life that some ppl have nothing better to do than post garbage on forums,IRC and anywhere they can.

About the moderator notification thing, didn't realize it. Thanks.
