Please don't look for posts from /u/hardtimes without a severe CW for scat and who knows what else at this point.

I think it's worth considering what kind of damage trolls, wreckers, and edgelords in general can do with such images in the future. @Frank@hexbear.net may have been right in that struggle session today; such open image posting may be a mistake.

    Simple solution is the same solution that worked for forums for decades before reddit took over. Require new accounts to reach a certain post count first before getting image posting, and rate limit their posting.

    At the very least, we should require this along with a threshold of points mentioned in other posts. Images should also be locked to a certain size and at the very least an option to auto-hide them should be added.

      I agree with sizelocking. Set a maximum width using css and they'll get resized to it without proportions being busted.

      The main problem in my opinion is that the gifs were getting turned into full post-width videos that I think everyone will agree was absurdly large. The rest seemed fine. But now that people have been annoyed by the post-width videos this troll has decided to be disgusting in order to get their way. It's almost certainly an existing member that wants the feature removed rather than any external attacker and they can fuck right off with that behaviour imo.
