I’ve never understood why an image only post such as something like this

is against the rules, even though there is text in the image, when the in-image text is exactly the sentence they want to respond with. How is that any different than


DO IT!

or just simply

DO IT!

?

Obviously when a completely unrelated image only post is made it should be enforced upon, but in the case of that Hansi post, other than the idea that six gifs may have been much, I don’t see anything wrong with it, because he was directly responding to someone with the text in the images.

I think the main problem with that is intent. Even if you put in some UTF-8 text in there the intent is still an image-only post. I would argue that both cases are breaking the rules.

Also: It would be nice if a mod could move this thread to Off-Topic.
