I think gifs cause seizures in some epileptic people

…
 
“gif warning?”

“Just as planned!”

@Dashiefan2502  
Are you trying to give me a heart attack?

I’m sorry.

@Darth Sonic  
They almost never get reported. Or even if they do, mods aren’t active 24/7, and by the time we get into there there’s already 50 pics and people have long given up useful conversation about it. It’s also not the first time I discover one after a month has passed already, at which point you can’t really do much anymore.
 
This one… I think I was browsing comments of a user that was reported for something completely different, and then this pic was in there too. Happened a month or so ago too: was some drama pic, a user in the IRC mentioned it, nuked all the pics within minutes and guess what? In the next 48 hours only one pic was posted, and by that time on default pagination my warning was already on the fourth or so page.
 
TL;DR I just happened to end up on this pic, read the thread, see that a user asks people to stop but apparently won’t unless a mod demands it.

@barbeque
 
 
just want to say 2 things about jontron.
 

@barbeque  
Yet I just went through the JonTron Thread tag and other GIF Party Thread/Image Spam Thread type tags and see those more or less ignored. Why the Hell did this thread in particular get mod smacked?

@WatermelonRat  
Not as far as I/mods are concerned (unless the pic is somehow relevant for janthran*, in which case it probably doesn’t have to be on here in the first place)  
_{rest of this message is stricly my own opinion}  
And no, I haven’t ever watched any of “whatever janthran is” on youtube because it’s probably overpopularized and/or monetized anyway. even if not, all I know is that the gifs are stupidly annoying. It’s not that they are bad per se or anything, it’s just that:  
a) if one guy posts it 10 others immediately follow  
b) the value of a reaction pic kinda gets lost if people are posting it on like every pic anyway  
c) I really don’t give a damn about janthran
 

@barbeque  
So does this mean no more Jontron threads?

So now they’re acting like they were just trolling all along, huh? Typical.

Alright. Cleaned up from after the first request to stop spamming was made (ohlook the thread about halved in size with it too).
 
Anyone who didn’t get a PM, is still subscribed on this one and sees their cute animal picture comment is gone, next time just report and/or leave the thread when someone derails the thread again, especially if there’s at least one user requesting it doesn’t become an image thread. I think we have a thread for unrequested image spam in some forum somewhere, and even if not there’s plenty of other sites you can have your kitten threads on.  
^{On a semi-related note this world might need a kittenbooru. Then, every comment section could be kittens.}

@Vree  
Well another mature thing would be to actually report the pic instead of waiting until a mod magically stumbles on it.
 
That said, they could also just have stopped spamming when it was mentioned by multiple users. Those who didn’t can look forward to some offtime soon.

@kassarc16  
When in doubt, just say the same thing over and over. Increase volume as needed. Claim perceived hardship to taste.

huh?  
who? what?

@Vree  
Image spam is just a way of saying “I have nothing the least bit intelligent to add to this conversation and I’m too stupid to just ignore it and not post”.
 
Or
 
“I have nothing the least bit intelligent to add to this conversation, but I disagree with you and want to drown you out”.

@Mayojar77 When I saw the comments I was expecting a Flutterbat thread.

@TexasUberAlles  
I’ll hate on that disease-ridden flying rat exactly as loudly as I like.

How is it diverse if every headcanon desribes the ponies as hispanic trans bisexual with a disability.

@The Floor Kippers  
I want that thing dead.

clever bastards, playing us for fools

@PonyPon  
Not really.
