It has come to my attention that some people post pages and pages of attachments in one or two days... and those posts are not exactly GIMP. (I'm tempted to create a forum dedicated to mature ladies, really... )
I set the limits to 1 picture per post for the time being.
There were comments about how to control this... it's only possible if I take away the permissions from people that break the rules. However, I don't think that is a good thing. I think that we should all be nice about this and not abuse the capacity of a good thing.
We don't want to go through upgrades every few months, it costs money and our budget to maintain this site increases. I can foresee a time when the capacity of the server is overtaken and this site will become a relic.
This is a free site, and although we recently made a campaign to raise enough fund to make it stronger and with a lot more capacity, that is no unlimited.
I want to make a deal.
DON"T ABUSE your privilege to freely and openly post whatever you wish, except CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, of course, and I will bring up the limit of attachment per post to 3. Right now it's set at 1.
And what does it mean not abuse? Don't put 100 attachments in one week. Come on! I remember when I was just a poster here when I made a post with 40 pictures, instead of my normal 3 or 4, during the old days... but those were no attachments, they were links to our site. But Ralphus saw that as ABUSE and took the post down, completely down.
I could do that too, but it's too much work and I would have to ask for a raise.
So, this is the deal, limit yourself to the average 2 posts 3 pictures per day, not pages and pages and pages with pictures and pictures and pictures in one day.
When I see some agreements here, I'll change the settings. If I don't get more than one or two responses, the one picture per post will remain, and if I feel in a bad mood, I'll start eliminating excess of posts...
Thank you
