Plexa brings out a good point, but that doesn't mean that a solution cannot be found. For example, all under 50-100 post image embeddings are automatically spoilered and there's a huge red warning like with PMs from new members so no-one opens the images without being careful. | ||

This means that it can and has been used in a number of LR threads on a number of days. It's also not just an annoyance. It has some some relatively unpleasant consequences. The images are bad enough that you don't get them out of your head easily. To avoid seeing them, people either leave the thread or start scrolling very carefully. Either way, it kills the the experience of following the LR while the game is occurring. As for annoying the regular forum-goer, it only has the potential to annoy them in the beginning. If the limit is 100 posts, it's almost like a reward of acceptance for a new member. Most truly new members wouldn't even think of posting images in their first 100 posts. There is the question of the long-time lurker. Some of them have sub-100 accounts. Perhaps it's 100 posts or 3 months since registration? If you'd list the ways in which this solution is detrimental, it would be easier to look for a solution. | ||

I mean if it can be done for just tournament section there isnt a big reason not to. There are a rare amount of times I can think of where embedding pictures in that section is a good idea (I can really only think of an OP and an image capture of the event) and very rarely are the poeple posting those fresh accounts. | ||
