No image-only posts unless the image has a direct bearing on the topic at hand and it adds value to the discussion.

How am I skirting the rule? The images were direct answers to the OP.

That shouldn’t change anything.

Reason #84 you won’t ever be asked to be a moderator!

Rules are rules. How should this person get a temp ban for this and you don’t for a similar post because people like you or you’re a “pillar of the community‽”

Feel free to report me.

Well for one (if you’d actually read the rules):

  1. No image-only posts unless the image has a direct bearing on the topic at hand and it adds value to the discussion.

I do read the rules. To prove it, here’s my browser history:

Also, I don’t really think that post should be allowed since the whole thread is off topic.

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.

It wasn’t fun in the first place.

And yes, I know the irony you’ll accuse me of for making this post.

You’re really using HansiG to support your argument after everything he pulled around here?

Where were you in '77?

My point is status in a community should not matter.

Also, this should have never been in General Star Wars Discussion board. A move would be nice.
