'Random Pics'

Just fyi, tiring of the ‘random pics’ posted senselessly at the end of journals, this inets craze has run its course... It derails the journal from the start, a pain if you want any semblance of even semi-serious replys & generally not what everyone wants to see… they’re just unnecessary.

So here's the compromise, if you've that uncontrolable urge to post a pic, ensure it's within hide tags. Markup tags to see how here.

Nice warning now, just don't... don’t make me get sol out.

I'm against. Journals are just boring without them.
With the compromiss you are just a click away from great entertainment
Parent
stop ruining crossfire ;( random pics are awesome!
I'm open to debate. Why should they be kept when they generally derail a journal? Case in point, 'serious' journal yet all the posts pertain to the 'random pic', you not see the problem?

Feel free to offer a compromise.
Parent
90% of the journals aint serious, so the "random pic" shouldn't hurt imo.

And like 99.9% of the cf users are retards, they don't mind a random pic I think. Only the 0.05% (the non retarded admins) think they need to keep crossfire nice and clean, but crossfire never was nice and clean. And the people visiting crossfire didn't realy change, of course some came and other left but the active crossfire readers/spammers are still the same.

And yes I belong too those 99.9%
Parent
Why should you forbid it when everybody likes it and give positive comments on them.
Everybody have a great laugh when they are never spotted in some other journal.
Parent
random pics keep crossfire alive :)
Parent
i don't get why you admins want to make this the bbc forum or something
lighten the fuck up , or make room for admins who will
Parent
Nobody does :) placing hide tags is no hard thing, 'n makes the journals browsable for the majority that don't post senseless crap at the end ^^
Parent
If you delete all senseless crap and ban all the people who usually post it, you will get a page with 20'000 members, including 19'050 inactive ones.

I think you've got a twisted image of crossfire, it's not a board where you discuss serious stuff, it's rather a board where you can get an answer to an easy question about gaming or smth, and where you post funny stuff and have a kinda good time while you're bored.
Parent
Nah I've a good grasp of the site ^^
Parent
Those who want to create a serious journal and wait for serious replies, won't put in any random pics. Those who obviously don't - will do it.
Parent
Look, random pics aren't just spam, they kinda keep the journals alive. If you get a laugh here and a giggle there, it keeps you on Crossfire, because browsing doesn't get boring then and it keeps the journals alive, they don't get dry and boring. Of course there are some journals which are interesting without random pics, but that's just a fracture of the number of journals posted here every day.
And why do random pics disturb you anyway? They don't harm anyone or anything.
Parent
serious business ..
Irritating business :)
Parent
well not for the majority imo, well aksually dont know, first make a poll or smth. dont forbid it right away cuz you as an admin dont like it
Parent
Is it not my job as an admin to try ‘n maintain what little quality we can? :) judgement call ‘n that

‘n it’s just applying things that’ve always been there, not whimsical creation of new ones.
Parent
i couldnt get that sentance cuz of your use of n and ` or w/e :x
Parent
Means 'and', up narf we don't say and!
Parent
i figured that, but it confuses me xD
Parent
does Pansy live up north as well, because when I read that sentence out loud I realized that it was eerily similar to her regular speech :P
Parent
She's a cockernee ^^
Parent
If the masses could stick to it, a tolerable compromise would be to put the random image in hide tags (generally edit journals ‘n do this anyway), best of both worlds. Don't like enforcing things but it's gone too far as is... Gentleman’s agreement that you boyos would have to stick to ^^
Parent
is ok for me, i barely use random pics anyway, but i just dont see the point of forbidding it, this would be a decent compromise tho
Parent
As said above, derails the thread, offers no constructive content, irritant for those not wanting the usual NSFW pics, creates predictable spammy replys etc :}
Parent
so whats your maingoal? to make crossfire a nonspam decent community were everybody behaves? :D
Parent
Depends how you define spam ^^
Parent
:) well i would go for your solution to hide the pics :D
Parent
The thing is that it's not a majority, it's a spammy loud-mouthed minority - those that want Crossfire to move in the direction of /b/.

Personally, if a significant number of people want that, then I have no problem in Crossfire accomodating them (in the same way that discussion for stamp-collectors should be accomodated, if there's enough of them here). The problem, at the moment, is that Crossfire is setup in such a way that the vast majority of the discussion takes place in the journals, and as such, accomodating a niche is done at the expense of others. For that reason, a compromise of a limited amount of spam is what we must to, until Crossfire is re-coded with a better forums, or otherwise.

Edit: For example: http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=74608
Parent
well make a poll
Parent
How is random pictures in the end of journal an expense to the non-spamming majority?
Parent
In this case I'm referring to spam as a whole, not just random pictures.

Parent
That's much better, they should change it.
Parent
I disagree, this place needs to be more like an image board.
Fucking liberal cockscratcher
Parent
Totally, posting random pictures is as much as a crossfire meme as you deleting them!
Parent

How fucking gay :D:D:D

Why dont you give warnings from fancy english words, they are as annoying as random pics
How fucking gay :D:D:D

Parent

Parent
You should check outside, think i saw someone stealing your Audi.
Parent
stop over-moderating : (
random senseless spam and pics make cf funny : (
otherwise i can go to et-scene aswell XD
this is serious site for serious ppl
Parent
Over-moderation please :) A massive 3 journals deleted in the last week, one the 20th et.gather spam journal, one asked for videos like meatspin 'n I canna remember the other, but it was by quiki so .o/

Enjoy the yermans ^^ iirc had admin on there once upon a time, ruin that fun too!:o
Parent
*times the amount of admins
Parent
2complex4nellie:(
Parent
lets remove all random comments in journals too!
yeah! and let's ban all who makes recruitment posts, computer journals and shit like that. with this sticky and that we will kill this site finally! yeah bitch fuck me!
Parent
Man this is an EXCELLENT IDEA! How did you come up with so brilliant idea?
Parent
nuke all comments about killing this site!
Parent
nuke all comments about not killing this site!
Parent
nuke all comments not related to killing or not killing this site!
Parent
your 22 years of age, but you act like your 6 years of age. maybe you should start thinking about growing up.

then again your finish, its expected
Parent
a ginger hair child from UK, like some of us know,a mutant. not bad, hope you have a great life midget! :DDDDDDDD go crawl back in you cage back in your cage, hide your face. ;/
Parent
lol, for one i dont have ginger hair. and i wouldnt call 5ft 10 a midget
Parent
european measures plz!
Parent
do not want :(
need the picture with the fat admin with guns and beer
ohno its ati
Thank you, now I don't have to look to see where my kids are when I scroll through a post out of fear random porn will show up on my screen.

Not sure why pornography isn't banned anyway.
:D had that in the time i was sitting in the livingroom gaming... i ahd to watch out what i watched and stuff!
Parent
rofl sooner or later they will see porn so this wont make a diff.
i dont get it why ppl hide porn from children
Parent
nothing I could say here could possibly illustrate the magnitude of stupidity in your statement. I'm truly speechless.
Parent
hahaha :D you made me smile
Parent
lets start fucking kids, they will have sex sooner or later anyway.. same with drinking alcohol etc.
Parent
Your parents should have hidden you from any human being- online and offline.
Parent
ok, but why should this happen from their parents? :D
Parent
i had this problem when i was browsing cf at work. and that was the time when cf was spammed with pics of certain tits... : D
still, leave random pics alone : (
Parent
the random porn images are manly bad moderating, they just remove the journal and most of the time ban the persons for a short period of a time. if they just follow strict rules and ban the ones that do that for 2+ weeks,. i doubt many would keep posting it. and i keep seeing retards posting random shit continuously and nothing happens. look at the forums so much spam and nothing happens. even the random cups which are posted here, where cup admins allow cheaters or abuse their cup. nothing happens to them either. expecting a pm a admin about it and we cant be 24 hours a day online excuse now!:D
Parent
pfff thats fuckin uncool dude. i wont do that i guess
Random pics must die.
I actually wanted to make a post about this. In a work environment without work-safe pictures it's pretty annoying to view crossfire.
I bet your employees actually like that there are pornographic pictures here.
Makes you work more instead of browsing cF.:P
Parent
it were the random pics and senseless journals that made xfire popular and not the dictatorship of some nazi admins
+1
if it wasn't fun at the first place most ppl prolly wouldn't be here any more!
Parent
true! same goes for me :D
Parent
lol, it's about achievements and warning points
Parent
nice stealing my idea
Parent
whats so interesting bout that
Parent
que?

edit: ah guess i know what you mean now ;)
Parent
rofllll that was emo
Spoilsport!
Can't xfire just add {hide={img}xxxx{/img}{/hide} whenever it sees [img][/img]
you mean {hide=(pic)}{img}{/img}{/hide} ? :D
Parent
no random pics -> cf is dead
random funny pics is one of the reasons i browse cf... cant see why people are bothered by it

let fusen code something which people can choose in their profiles if they want to see images or not
Rather good idea to be honest
Parent
this guy is a genius
Parent
And you are genius enough to work out the idea
Parent
nothing you can not do!
Parent
And it's not like you have something else to do :D:D:D
Parent
Flags, images in news etc ^^
Parent
seriously, its the fun factor of this site. i doubt its that hard to code if fusen had the time/motivation to do it. and make a poll and see how many people on this site are bothered by it, not even 10% imo. and you should extend the ban lengths or add a admin approval registration:D. i wonder how many fake accounts are made per day
Parent
Oh ... I hoped this is a thread full of 'random pics'

This just sucks ...
Haha I kinda expected that too.
Parent
ruined my day :<
Parent
Another great idea! Next to supporting games that we support!
fuzz oh fuzz oh fuzz
it has hurt you quite a lot eh ese.
Parent
Are you serious?
Why so serious?
Parent
lolz you should make a pool to see how many people are against random pics ;) I doubt there would be more than 30%
oh the drama
gtfo emo, random pics ftw
I don't like random journals, but the random pics are nice :P
You have to realise that not all crossfire readers are intellectual purists. A lot of people, me included at times, seem to enjoy the easy humor of random pictures. Not to mention, quite often the derailing is actually desired. Remember, there's a very big precentage of non-serious journals here. Not to mention, a serious journal gets even more serious by not having a random picture!

Anyways, this is a gaming community site. It's not a mensa community site. Its users is its content, web 2.0 style. Why bias the site towards one part of the community? Intellectual journals come every now and then, and they don't have random pictures. Nonserious journals do, if you don't like it, you can safely ignore it.

Hide it if it's NSFW!

E: Me liked Kiewans idea!
if this were a mensa site (and everyone on here would be members) ii'd quit the organisation :D
Parent
:D
You a member?
Parent
:D
I once took an IQ-test that gave the result "Above average for Mensa members".. Dunno how serious I should take it though :P
Parent
ur worlds smartest man ur fucking amazing
Parent
QuoteDunno how serious I should take it though :P

Seems perfo is smarter than me though, since he was smart enough to delete his post saying he had done the same =o)
Parent
I have the magical ability to foresee shitstorms, yet still deliver the post to the relevant person.
Parent
I noticed!
WP
Parent
make a poll.
poll would be fair!
even stella looks more dangerous
you cant be serious -.-'
Seems to me that the community calls for a "auto hide/show journal pictures"
-option in the profile.
Where is Fusen when you need him? :O
actually crossfire was always about spamming, its the sense of live for some guys... Random Pics arent killing anyone, even poor african children, so why so much care?

ow, and we;re not afraid of sol, im sure we can register new accounts faster than he ban us!
what if they close registration for a while?
Parent
cf would die and no more random pics would be posted -> problem solved

the thing is we dont want cf to die THEREFORE WE WANT RANDOM FUNNY PICS/TITS
Parent
for some journals they are fine, but ofc the pics mustn't be offensive towards anyone in any way
it'd definitely be deactivated by default. If you aren't willing to log in there is not much that can be done anyway
yeah, always been a topic of frustration but tala included the use of the IP in the logged in session for security. Will look at giving an option for either
nowai ! this isnt something [cuser] would want
if u c ur name its because he did a thing where the user sees his username :)
Parent
Oh lol=D I got owned:x
Parent

Parent

Parent
Did I hear my name?
Parent

no problem. instead of having a good LOL i will read the great news and journals written by admins like you.
srsly wtf is wrong with you, do your eyes burn when you see a random pic.
btw wtf is up with old journals where did the comments go?
If you want Crossfire even more boring ^-> good idea!
So gtfo.

Just wanted to share my picture :(

I've been following your work for a long period of time.
You have potential, although you should follow the path more, the path of life, you don't care enough about others, be in peace with yourself and the others and your work will be even better! Follow the path of nature, do what you have to do without thinking too much about it. Follow your feelings, don't depend on materialism!
Parent
=]

Are you God? :o
Parent
no, I just want a peacfull world for everyone free from desire,but full of joy and love <3
Parent
Do you have such nice pictures in wallpaper format? :<
Parent
All of my pics are roughly 3000x2000+
e.g. that falls = 3908 x 2902, just a matter of resizing :(
Parent
Can you do it with that pic and send it to me :(
Parent
too high iso i guess :o
Parent
It's a HDR generated from a single RAW file so the top left looks a bit fucked
Parent
What settings did you use? with tripod ?
Parent
f/12 5 second exposure so yeah, had a tripod :)
Parent
Pfff? Hands not steady enough for "5? And you're an Etplayer??!
Parent
You name one person who could get a pin sharp photo from holding a camera for 5 seconds!
Parent
I'm just jealous cause I lost my tripod and I'm too lazy to get another one
Parent
My new tripod was on offer for £180 from £290 :)))))))))))))))
Parent
how do you lose a tripod tbh!?
Parent
You put it at a door, walk around, take pictures, turn around and find out it's gone.
Parent
Quote2 a: the act of losing possession : deprivation<loss of sight>


QuoteIn criminal law, theft (also known as stealing or filching) is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's freely-given consent.


Find the difference!
Parent
but it was because of his stupidity :-)
Parent
It could have been blown away by the wind, sssh
Parent
Awesome foto and place.


And to topic: Couldn't care less.
Parent
the act of making love must be one of real love my dear friend! not an act of fullfilling your endless desires, not just another satisfaction that leads to another desire... However I don't say that you are not capable of loving one, I know that you are full of love and one day you will meet her if you follow the path!
only if you don't hurt others with it and if it's the will of both!
random pics were what made crossfire ausum :<
skimming over the replies the only people for this are the admins
Crap idea tbh but w/e i can see more moves like this coming -,-
you admins trying to kill crossfire?
Could you also insist making {hide} tag for 'n as well? :-)
Someone has to do the shitty jobs ~/
rly gay decision
i thought this was some kind of "random pic"collection!
disappointing!
I was kinda thinking the same in the first place haha xD
Parent
in fact thats needed here!
Parent
Yeah! damn right !
Parent
I will not obey, this is madness!
TO FUSEN !

Add special tag like [randompic] [/randompic] and in it peaple will put links to images, and write special function in 'My profile' which will allow displaying pictures inserted in the special tags ([randompic] [/randompic]) xD engrish skillaz
Random pics own stop being retards plx.
