    GIF's (as my fellow member theteramaster pointed out) hold a possible risk for some of our forum members, they are as obnoxious as any large sig that violates the rules regarding sigs, and they also make it difficult for members to use the sight as they make the pages difficult to load. I move that they be banned from the forum.

    I was hoping that they would be banned fully in the last thread. In any case, I support this.

    They should be banned or reserved for "spoiler" tags...

    Hitler was the guy who hated Jews, not Stalin. Don't mess these guys up.

    It was a joke, that were already banning things, so i was playing it off as propaganda and that were turning into a autocratic state runned by the mods and the 1%

    I think it's a good idea. Really really active GIF's are annoying.

    I concur, their should be some regulation on GIFS as some people find them offensive, and we must satisfy every minority. ( In all honestly, put them in spoiler tags, and it'l be good.)

    I disagree with this. I was on board with getting rid of those that pose health problems (which passed) but I don't agree with outright banning all of them from sigs.

    The spoiler system might work, however I think someone should make warning above the spoiler that it may contain hazards material to people who have health conditions like epilepsy, Please watch at your own risk.

    The compromise is an art as old as politics itself.

    Still, GIFs shouldn't be banned. Spoiler idea sounds nice.
