This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Particularly if these are sole-responses to a thread post and serve no other purpose than to try to fake being witty.

I'm particularly looking at "threadbombing" here, and particularly at you, Kyle. There are plenty of other ways to make an ass out of yourself that don't annoy the tech mod.

Does this regard each and every use of animated gifs (i.e. smileys)?
Or do you rather speak about large-scaled forum pictures with kittens and stuff?

I'm receiving somewhat garbled signals here.

What if it's your pic?
He screams and screams and pounds his head Against the wall until wailing phantom firetrucks Paces across his vision. Pain, pain is all he wants. And hate, yes hate. We shall never forget and never forgive. And never ever fear. Fear is for the enemy. Fear and bullets. ~ James O'Barr

Smileys that are from this forum are all allowed. As for avatars, they are likewise allowed UNLESS Brett tells you otherwise, if he asks you to change your avatar, change your avatar.

What I'm talking about is posting a response where you don't actually type anything, and just put some stupid internet-meme animation that does nothing but slow down the functioning of this site.
