Right I've just spent 40 mins this morning going through this thread doing "housework" so here are a few reminders for those of you who are to stupid/selfish/lazy (delete as applicable) to do this properly;
[glb]IMAGES[/glb]

No more than 8 to a post, maximum size 500kbs in total and no single image over 100kb in size!
Image size to be 800*600!
No linked images!

All of this is clearly stated in the image upload page!

Kindly sort it, I've deleted about 30 posts from this thread as frankly I couldn't be bothered to clean up after people and correct their mistakes for being to stupid/selfish/lazy to post correctly in the first place!
Any further repeats of this will be deleted and the offenders reported to the webmaster >:(

Ozzy72 >:(

Ps. Those of you with linked avatars have been reported to the webmaster as it is a offence for which you can be banned >:(

No worries Dave, I've already PM'd over 20 people about oversized avatars alone this morning, and the list of people with linked images (especially avatars) is growing (Pete is going to be busy). I think we'll see quite a few bannings somehow ;D And not before time, if they can't respect this site and its rules then I don't think they'll be very welcome around here!

Sorry to be OT, but I don't understand "no linked images".
In an other thread, I posted images that were uploaded at another site (imageshack or something similar) and then linked to the post with the help of IMG tags. Some were thumbnails.

If this is not the proper way to do it, how do you link images in a post?

You DO NOT link from other sites to here, it is an offence which can and most likely will see you banned! We have had virus attacks and all sorts from this kind of stupidity, and that is why it was banned and people who do it are banned!!!!
If you wish to post images then click on the Upload Images text near the top of the page in the blue bar under the Simviation logo and upload accordingly and then follow the procedure there to do images in threads please.

Its really amazing how a bunch of stupid/selfish/lazy (delete as applicable) clueless dumbos can generate a thread which creates 19,000 hits for this site while the self-proclaimed brilliant/altruistic/industrious,/clued-in mods, who took almost 4 months to get around to spending 40 whole minutes moderating, don't generate even marginal traffic on thier own.

Guess the typical, less then 100 hit thread, is way more manageable for wannabe banners.

First off, an apology to the mods for breaking the rules: I posted images @1024x768 resolution using photobucket. I posted images in JPEG format and in what I considered a reasonable resolution for bandwidth concerns.  In my defence I didn't read the rules of the forum and I apologise for that also though I suspect that 99% of members don't actually read the rules!  So for all my sins I offer an unreserved apology.

As for the way the moderators have acted in this thread then I think you guys leave a lot to be desired.  I am not stupid, selfish or lazy (and aren't you breaking your own rules by calling people names?).  A friendly warning post in this thread would have been sufficient for me to edit my posts to follow the rules of the forum but all we get is some heavy handed 'don't do it or else'.  Way to go guys!

A couple of thoughts for you:-

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
With great power comes great responsibilty.

Take ya pick.

 ::)

Yours disapointedly,

WB.

PS.  How old does a mod have to be on this forum, not very by the looks of it.

just turned 52 a few days ago, with no one here to comment on it, thereby turning me into a raving lunatic)


Happy Belated Birthday Felix & thanks for the rational explanation of the rules.  ;D

I think WB will find that the two mods in question are a bit younger then you are & just about twice as old as he thinks they are

Having been booted off more forums than you guys have had hot dinners, I'd like to say that the moderators here appear very generous, reserved, and most importantly impartial. So they get my respect.
You should meet some of the Tin God assholes on the other boards and the cliquey friends they protect from dissent. Believe me, you wouldn't be allowed to mention PF again.
