So, will this be retroactive? What happens on penis day?

In office I use FireFox plugins to disable page colours (web developer) and images (Image Like Opera).

I turn the images back on one by one if I want to see them.

...You're seriously trying to make *this* site work-safe? Wow.
Good luck with that.

I've always supported the "link to disturbing stuff" idea, mind.

You can post whatever the hell you want.

Provided its a link not a direct image, video, etc.

Man, until DElf gets back, this whole forum is going to rapidly slip into babyhood.

Given how badly the Misty lolicon has been burning my eyes, I'm glad that at least we have a chance to save ourselves by checking the link's provenance.

Fair enough. I have to admit that occasionally I've come here and seen something that made me want to drink Drano. At least when it's hidden behind a link it's my own fault if I hurt my brain!

I like this rule. Now it's going to be a challenge: who can link to the worst things, and get people to click on it?

if we post NSFW links, do we need to start labeling them as such?

No.

If you click a link you do so at your own risk.

There's a reason I made a 'click at your own risk' point for my FAQ, you know.

Perhaps you should place this new rule in the FAQ. In addition, it is just an idea, but there are still some people missing in there, like:

Drog Black Tooth: He is The 'George Lazenby'under the Administrators. One time in the picture is enough. He did many great things with modding, but alas, he was an Administrator, who could not administrate. If he had a life, he would role-play it.

Xiao Caity: She is a 4'8 feet girl, who is known to us for her hotness and fury. If she snarls at you, then you must have earned it.
Puppy: This Mummy’s Hellhound buries Idiots, Spammers and Trolls in the Garden of Xiao!

Silvara:

Arthgon: I do not know if I am bound to have my name here in the list, but I am here for five years now, and I have shown my good side. Trolls and Spammers of new and old beware, for I can detect you everywhere!

PS: Please let me know if I missed something or someone here.

That was because I had suddenly two accounts (I forgot once the password of the older account), so I had to choose which one had to go, so I let the Adminstrators delete the older one.

Do anyone of you, may know something to write about Silvara, or about someone else?

Drog Black Tooth: One of the most noteable modders to have ever laid a finger upon Arcanum, DBT patched and patched until Arcanum was shored up and quite beautiful. He demonstrated himself as a veritable wealth of information. However, he moderated in a manner that conflicted with the general stylings of T-A, and now exists as Elder Joachim, and not a member of the Administration.

Xiao Caity: A Petite Spitfire, Xiao is the resident Hot Chick, and well known for possession of a temper, a talent for writing, and a tendency to damn those whom gravedig to an early and painful ruin.

PapaDog1999: The stoic dog sitting and Xiao's flank, he is fast to back her up, and faster to bury those whom attempt to swoon her. A Devout Lover of Anime, and possessed of a decidedly dirty sense of humor, PD has demonstrated himself as an amusing and entertaining member of our forum.

Silvara: The rarely vocal Silver Dragon of The House of Lords, Silvara is a highly active member of the Cybernations-side of T-A, a wealth of good, well-grounded logic, and a pleasant conversationalist. She can be found at nearly all hours in HoL's IRC Channel, and is worth stopping by to chat with.

Arthgon: Isn't yet old/noteable enough to qualify, imo.

(sorry, but I don't believe the "I had an older account!" bit)

Forgive me for being on-topic, but I have a question for Aurdal:

Not to question your azure wisdom, but what exactly is your provocation for this rule? I understand your motives, but why exactly is this a problem? It's not as though pictures of tits on every post would cause the admins any serious trouble with the outside world.

My guess is that it's so easy to make a link policy on this type of thing and doesn't really affect anything on the forum, (in fact, I'm sure most of us here [myself included] like the idea of forced links to mature material anyway) as well as the fact that doing so drastically reduces the likelihood of whinging, general bullshit and other annoyances, so why not?

Is my run-on assumption correct?
