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.

    Yeah, I'm siding towards this being an overreaction although I don't care enough either way. People can already abuse their avatar and banner. Like, nothing stopped people from posting scat in old Hexbear.

      Are you unfamiliar with shock images as a means of attack? There's some truly horrific stuff out there that I'm trying not to picture in my mind while writing this but that's not working very well so I'm leaving this thread.

        And my point is that those shock images can be someone's avatar and banner or even just some post. Nothing's stopping someone from posting snuff in /c/videos.
