    No, I don't have any safe search. I saw the 3 old men aswell, it's just that very bizarre image caught my eye. ;)

    True, AH usually has a mod or two floating around to ban/delete/edit.
    How many mods were banned/deleted/edited? :D

    That could be asking for trouble... people posting illicit links (like the one that screams "Im watching gay porno" etc) is bad enough... but pictures to go with it :I
    You mean this one?

    Are Hmods real mods? Do they count?

    Nope.

    Are people talking about a mod from any other forum being able to use IMG tags? I thought the idea was that a mod is no different to a regular user outside of the forum he/she moderates?

    Image tags on AH would be a bad idea IMO. I present this thread as evidence.

    I don't like the idea of mods or subscribers having too many perks beyond that of normal users. Currently the perks mods and subscibers get fall into two categories:
    1. "Thank you's" - things that it's relatively easy to give to people, or relatively easy to give to people as long as there aren't too many people to deal with, which thank mods and subscribers for their part in keeping the site going.
    2. Access to the Sex and Sexuality forum, which was seen as a way to help keep some of the possible pitfalls of such a forum from affecting us.
    And of course mods also have tools to help them mod.

    While arguably allowing image tags for mods and subscribers only on AH follows the same logic as allowing them access to S&S it remains the fact that it is easy for the S&S mods to have read every post on that forum. This is not the case on AH and borderline material could slip through more easily. Also S&S has a very different moderation ethos to AH - while it allows for topics of discussion AH doesn't, there are different standards as to what one is allowed to say on those topics. In all, I don't think the case is analogous.

    I don't really see the correlation between this thread and what could possibly happen if tags were turned on. All one is simply doing is replacing text with pictures. It will not address the 99.9% of useless "oh look at me" type threads and crap that is posted on AH.  As for your theory that some images mighty slip through the net, again I don't see it as an issue. We have many many boards on this site where certain dodgy pic's etc could be hidden away. As AH is the busiest board on this site, I doubt a potentially dodgy image would last long without some sort of mod or user action.  The busyness of the board is counteracted by the number of posters on the board and I would suspect that the thread to active user ratio is actually a bit lower than boards like Horse Racing, Motors, Politics etc.  I also don't like the idea of this being a perk of some sort. Either turn it on for everybody or leave it of.

    I agree with Hobart.

    You should turn it on for everybody.

    Also as an experiment you should lock After Hours for a week and see what effect it has on the other forums (fora?).

    It's grand as is.

    Turning it on for everybody would result in pages upon pages of pictures of Orly owls and the like. Someone would announce that forumspile exists and there would be chaos. Of course this is going on the basis that the average AH user knows how to use imageshack.

    What about the HMods?




    (There should be a gathering card for this.)

    I'd honestly say boards numbers online would drop and that atlest 1/3 rd of users would then be on feedback.

    that's one hypothesis.

    I still think it might be worthwhile to see what happens if people are "forced" to choose other forums for their posts. Might stimulate a lot of conversation on otherwise sleepy forums.
