The EADD Metathread - Let's talk about how we can improve EADD

And they LOVE it <3

As for embeds I vote we keep them to the embed-related music thread, is murder on me at the moment using my phoneternet and having like three different videos loading and/or autoplaying in gibberings when I got limited bandwidth.

I also agree with the 'slap on the wrist' for first offenders approach with warnings and infractions to follow. Which I won't be able to give out because my bandwidth will have cut out after having viewed the offending material =D
 
Has anyone got a screen capture of how the forum main page looked before the upgrade? We are missing the links to the Guidelines. I think they were somewhere above the thread index. I am speaking to the engineer to try and get them restored.

I'm certain they were not stickies, and I'm pretty sure they were not "announcements" like the recent Server Upgrade Issues announcement. It would be good to have a picture to show Aby.

Raas I'm looking at you.

If you look at the problem in terms of WHAT embeds are causing the influx and cluttering, you'll find it's mainly music ones being randomly posted in all threads, and if you took the stance of NO MUSIC embedding allowed in anywhere but the 'Music Embedding Allowed' thread, the problem would largely be solved by that much alone. AND it's a clear cut and simple to understand stance.

We ask all members to keep embedded videos to the dedicated threads. The reason for this is that embedded videos consume a large amount of bandwidth, and cause pages to take a lot longer to load. It's not an issue for people with fast broadband connections, but it is an issue for those who have slower connections or who are using mobile phones. It is, in fact, a major inconvenience for those people. Even on a broadband connection, older systems can become bogged down with all embedded videos.

The videos only load up the video title and a preview picture. Probably far less bandwith than the pictures in the picture threads. And we've had picture threads here since the beginning of time; even in 56k modem times, man.

Really think this is a non-issue.

In the music thread having constant embedded videos can become a little heavy on the browser, and a bit of an eye-sore. So the rule is applicable there (and has always been followed) but elsewhere I can't see any problem in a few videos popping up here and there. It's a nice feature, would be a shame not to make use of it.

Oh and also, RE: closure of s*** road discussion because of source mentioning.

Let me get this straight.

News of s*** **** v2.0 and associated arrests is broadcasted on:

BBC News
Sky News
Wikipedia
theindependent.co.uk
guardian.co.uk
Facebook
The Economist


But on Bluelight... A drugs forum... strictly not allowed!! And I'm having to replace the sites name with ****'s to make the post suitable. I mean, wtf? crazy, no?

This is a harm reduction site and it is in the interest of users to be aware of news, arrests and updates on these sites so that they remain safe and aware of what's going on. Discussion on the page also, was of sites which were no longer in use it was hardly a chance to pass out links to new sites. And when someone did cross the line, it's nothing a good snipping wouldn't sort out. Feel we're being over-sensitive on what is some of the most prominent, important news on the drugs industry today that will effect many people here.

Hmmm... full Screenshots will be at least tenner. While i'm doing business; I'll also piss in anyones combat shoes for £15. I've got naked pictures of OTW and his wife on my H/D also going for 30p... no, no... deal at 20p...10p!
 
Multiple pictures of Knocks anus, 50p each folks. Might be useful material to keep for embarrassment/blackmail purposes sometime in the future.

Aye, it's just some of em recently have been auto-loading/playing and admittedly it's probably only me whining about bandwidth at the moment but yeah too many do crash shitter devices; the uni computers and my old netbook died constantly with the embeds. This one is slightly better but a pain to deal with anyway. I don't see any reason not to just keep them to the embed thread and post the old 'artist name - song' link in any other thread.

This is exactly the same argument that people have always used to suggest that BL should allow naming of sources. All the arguments against allowing discussion of internet vendors apply to discussion of Tor vendors. Whilst it can be argued that allowing people to discuss sources to pass on info about rip-off artists, scammers, bad quality product and so on are a form of HR, it is not a form of HR that BL has ever allowed. It's way to open to abuse and, frankly, where people get their drugs is irrelevant to this site's HR message. There are plenty of sites that allow discussion of vendors - I browse them myself sometimes - but, as you have no doubt noticed, they are often full of vendors bitching at each other, accusing each other of one thing or another, and are basically a form of marketing tool. That's fine but it is not what BL exists for.

You do realise this is the same Knock who posted an instructional video on PooToob demonstrating the art of plugging, yes? I don't think embarrassment is high on his agenda ;)
 
You do realise that that video has formed a staple in Raas's wank bank since he scoured google cache for weeks and managed to find a copy after it got taken down?
