At first it was just annoying to have posts consisting of just images, but now I'm thinking that it's sort of anti-Cellar. The posts will disappear if the images are no longer hosted or published, thus "breaking" any involved conversations. It also makes the posts unsearchable, by either Cellar or Google.

Posting an image, of text, is a stupidly unnecessary use of resources. And also, just regular stupid.

See my post in the mildly irritating thread.

I don't think it's stupid. I think it's a good idea... if you want your communication unsearchable.

It's a technique that has been introduced in spam spam spam spam, when the white hats learned to search for strings indicative of undesirable content. Then when the same message was communicated to our flexible brains via unsearchable image of text. Stupid? That depends.

Is it anti-cellar? Good question. I don't think so. Think of all the other images that would leave gaps in the conversations should they become unpublished, are they anti-cellar? Many of them have only minimal accompanying text, sometimes only a single character, perhaps a punctuation mark.

I think it's self defeating. I am not concerned by it. It will leave gaps in the conversations. It reminds me of a courtroom, where the witness is prodded to answer verbally after only nodding or pointing. The court transcript would not have the information in the record, despite the fact that all present who were paying attention would have understood.

I find the posting style to be annoying. Not only is the style annoying, but there is no real content.

I've never seen a posting style like his before. I don't get it. He obviously has to go through a lot of work to create those graphics. You would think he'd have something better to say after going through so much work.

I imagine he is probably trying to not get it removed by doing it that way. It's rather irritating and stinks of trollness. I say there needs to be some kind of text involved with new posters....maybe it's adding too many rules to newbs, but still...it's fucking annoying.

Treat the posts exactly as if a new user came in and posted images only, with no text. I know that's what they are; but I assume that image-only posts with no text would be treated like spam.

What if they were cool images in the WTF thread? We'd be rejoicing them.

Oh, yeah.

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you? :mecry: Hand me a tissue, will you?

Yeah, but WTF is in an images forum...that's what it is there for. Just sayin...

the EVIL blue color hurts mine eyes.

I say spank him.

First evil rhinos, and now evil colors?

Yes. Just ask Flint. He knows.

Leave me out of this, weirdo.

I see sounds, I don't feel colors.
