I don't even know what to call this.Follow

I'd like to see atleast a mute for something that disgusting from a poster who's been here long enough to know that **** ain't cool.

I think the kid deserves to have his account banned, at a minimum, and really I think if it's possible his parents should be contacted so they can deal with him as they see fit.

I mean, I stared at that picture for a good five minutes, and there was no cat in it. It also didn't have a funny, gramatically incorrect caption. Kids need to learn they can't falsely advertise.

If that was a mistaken link, then you have some sick **** on your comp.

That's not what I mean..

The site checks your cache and if you haven't recently loaded their picture from the main site getting linked to the direct picture will give you that dusgusting.. whatever it was **** link. I had to go into firefox's options and clear my cache just to actually see the picture. :/

Wish I knew they did that before I tried to link the picture.

I really shouldn't go anywhere near alla when i'm insanely tired or just waking up.

What the hell happened?!

That's what it was?

I clicked the link and saw the girls arched back and quickly closed the window. I'm glad I didn't let the whole pic download.

Yeah, I vote for some sort of punishment.

Has anyone else tried testing his "mistake"?

I did in my journal just now. I posted the link there on my main PC, and then clicked it from one of my others. It was an adorable kitty, no ****.

Give Deadgye the benefit of the doubt, he has been here for a while and is a very informative poster in the ffxi main. BT, you should really lay off, Deadgye actually got 10k by posting positive helpful information in the ffxi main, compare this to the tripe I see you spew all over the OOT and Asylum on a daily basis.



PS: It was just hi2u, its not like its violent rape.

Without even having seen this thread in question, I have a feeling I know what happened.

This happened to me before when I linked an image I thought was humorous. When I tried clicking the actual link, something entirely different came up, not much different from the description offered in this thread. Fortunately I think I caught my mistake before anyone else saw it, and edited my post to link to a different version of the same picture on a different site, checked that link, and that was fine.

It's something some sites use to try to discourage people from linking to their images. IMO it's sneaky and bad practice, especially when the sites don't even give you any sort of warning saying "hey d00dz, my bandwidth sucks, please d/l the image and link it somewhere else if you want to show it to a forum, or I am going to rain apocalypse on you", but it's hard to expect much from random sites on the internet. It IS the internet after all.

It was correct to edit or nuke the post, but Deadgye shouldn't get into any trouble for this. Hell, for all we know, links that are fine today could get TUBGIRL'D or GOATSE'D tomorrow without our knowing. sh*t happens.

Okay, so that's exactly what I said earlier. I'd just like the rules fleshed out a bit more, then. I mean, how many thousand of posts does one need to make for this to be okay? Is 12k the magic number for posting what Deadgye did? Does that mean Joph can go on a tubgirl rampage? How about Hellboy? Should Usagi be allowed to link whatever he please with impunity?

I s'pose if you can believe it was an honest mistake it's acceptable. I think it's more likely that even if a site hosting lolcats images had such a malicious mechanism to prevent hotlinking in place Deadgye more than likely read about it on some other site and decided it would be funny to do here. You see, from my limited interaction with him this is the prediction of his behavior he's earned in my eyes.

And I don't spew tripe, I craft posts that are of such a high literary quality I should be charging for them. You, sir, have earned yourself a place on my list of people I will not be inviting to my Christmas party.

Well fine, whatever.

I think we've all learned an important lesson today, though:

Exo is the poor dude who has to test the offensive images. I assume that position was vacated with Magi's exit.
