flashing gifs can be funny/interesting for the first few times I see them. after that, they're just dumb, obnoxious, and a waste of space. (even more so for those physically affected by such images) banning seems excessive. I like having the option to do things, even if they have the capacity to become something awful and unwanted by all. And yeah, turning off ALL Sigs just because one or two people are abusing this sort of option is a crappy solution. I REALLY wish people would simply be more courteous to their fellow Kradenettes who make legitimate requests to tone down their blatantly obnoxious content so that discussions like this weren't needed in the first place. |

Yeah. Text is a form of "image" as well (image as perceived by our eyes, that is). If it's flashing and it's showing up in every post, it's a problem. If you're using rainbow text the way necare uses maroon, then yes, it would extend to posts. Otherwise, provided it's used briefly, I don't personally find it a problem. Like in the example you gave, after reading the text, I just scrolled the page so it was out of sight while I was reading the rest of your post, which is my usual answer to people posting flashing stuff. For example, I think it would be reasonable to expect this to be spoiler tagged in the body of a post
I think, like most things, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. People should use reasonable judgment when posting or putting things in their signature, and if something could "reasonably" be seen as a problem, it should be spoiler tagged. It's subjective, yes, but I don't think you can make a truly objective measure for something like this, unless you take the extreme route and say "all animated images in signatures must be spoiler tagged." That would be too extreme, I think, and it would snag a lot of completely harmless pics (like the djinni emoticons, for instance). Which leaves us only with the option of a subjective measure. |
