  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    It seems that phishers are using Funny videos to rack up ten posts before starting. I think this will be due to the low traffic in that room and no-one will notice what they are up to.

    Would it be sensible to disable comments for videos in there or is that a step too far?

    They have been rampant as of late. I'd leave the comments, we just need to monitor the forum like we have been.

    One guy posted some nice pics in the Model Forum and then posted phishing links in the Sexy Video forum.

    I think the Mods are working on a solution.

    banned, the thing is i do search and look in the funny forum frequently enough, that is how i catch who is here phishing for links by seeing who is spamming that forum, it is much easier for me.

    Actually, that makes much more sense. Its sort of an early warning system.

    It's often easy to tell, when someone signs up and makes a quick succession of repetitive posts, then post 11 is a thread.
