      The victim group might get upset and start crying.

        Nah.

        It's more a case that one person would post something just to deliberately upset the apple cart, because "It's a bit of a laugh, ain't it ?"

        That is also known as sociopathic behaviour.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          WBGGS.

          In any group larger than a surprisingly small number there will be at least one individual who will take advantage of any opportunity to fsck things up for everybody if they can do so at no cost to themselves. Such individuals would be perfectly happy to create and nurture a sockpuppet until, on a day when something that had nothing to do with CUK had wound them up, they could let rip on here and make admin's day even worse than it must normally be.

          Remember, inline images were originally disabled because of people (not FortuneGreen, as MF seems to think) posting child pornography here

            Oh this is the last bloody straw Nick! Every day I read these posts to find more and more obscure txt language. ROFL, HTH, WHS etc etc, which I have to keep looking up.

            But WBGGS. What the hell does WBGGS mean? It's not even a proper bloody shortening. By Txt Dictionary http://www.lingo2word.com/dictionary.php doesnt even know what it means.

            WNKR!

              It's not hard to work out.

              Anyway, there are millions of forums that allow images, I do not see why this one cannot deal with it.

                Because we happen to know something about it all and are therefore an obvious target for some smart arse?

                  Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen that happen on a forum before and I'm on quite a lot. Porn, sometimes, which gets them banned. But illegal stuff? Eeew.

                    I agree. Any forum which has active moderators can cope with this. CUK has moderators online frequently and a tiny number of posts compared to other forums which manage just fine.

                      Yup - see admin's posts here, here, and here.

                      Admin also made this comment the last time somebody wanted inline images back.
