Amen to that as well...

tooki enjoys spamming my PM box/e-mail after each offense.

Have you ever seen a cop pulled over by another cop?

Didn't think so.

I believe basket of pups is violating the guidelines on inline images. I would expect him to get a nasty pm from tooki now as well as this thread being locked.

Does the "beast" part take care of answering to women as well?

Just wondering.

Hehe, it worked! He chickened the original image to a decent size!

These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

I just got my first 'Image Width' PM. I think it would be nice if tooki put more thought into personalising them. I felt like I got exactly the same PM as everyone else, copied and pasted in. It's like getting a photocopied 'Christmas' letter with your name written in at the top. Just not as special as it could be

To you guys who think you're somehow being wronged by receiving a PM from me re: Inline images:

The rules are clear, and they're non-negotiable. If you don't like them, you can go elsewhere, where any-size images and sigs are allowed. The rules are there to promote readability (in the case of image width) or download size (the JPEG Orgy warnings).

If you choose to ignore the rules, then you will get a warning. If violations of the rules continue, then you may lose posting privileges.

Note that my messages are form letters: I fill in the blanks with the appropriate pixel sizes and send it off. If I have added a personal message, it will be marked as such.
