Images Cancelling Points?

• Images Cancelling Points?

  JamezZ > 30/09/2017, 11:33

  I remember years ago, shortly after the points for posts first came out. We were all asked to not attach images to the posts and move onto linking to them from the domain lic.me
  
  I have been in and out of the forum many times since then but am trying to be more active now. Have recently posted a few posts with pictures and it seems that if I put in a picture the post does not make any difference to the point count. 
  
  It could be a 500 word essay, but put a picture at the bottom and you get no points. Have the rules on this changed again. Is linking to lic.me not the preferred way anymore for the forum rules?

  Anyone have any info on the query above. Still confused by it and not sure whether I should be posting images in a different format or in separate posts etc?

  I have found this is the case too, not that I care a toss about the points, I never use them. However, I found that when making a post only containing pictures I got no points except when I posted about a dozen caps in one post I did, so it may be something to do with the number of pictures in a post too.

  Hey parkaner, interesting theory. That would technically encourage spam though so I would assume that would not be the case. If I were going to post an image or a few images to illustrate a point then why not go 20 of them to guarantee the point for example.
  
  Its probably a change that happened in one of my long hiatus' from the forum but it would be good to have the new system and rules confirmed by an admin if anyone can help?

  Just bumping looking for confirmation from someone in the know. I can't seem to find any information about the change on the forum, at least not from my short searches so far.

  At current time points are not offered for pics. This was stopped quite some time ago as we were basically getting spammed with nothng but caps for easy points.

  Hey FMR, ok understood, that is what I assumed had happened. Thank you for the confirmation. I also assume then that there is no longer a drive for users to utilise the lic.me imagehost either then?

  Aye indeed there is no reward incentive at the moment but using lic.me carries a good old RampantTV pop under. This means that wherever lic.me is used we are spreading word of the site.
  
  So if someone googles Alice Goodwin, then ends up on the forum and clicks a picture, they'll get a pop under of the player too. This is of course good for us and in turn good for our members.
  
  So while I can't say you must use lic.me it would sure be awesome if you did.

  Yeah that makes sense, I know that was the reasoning behind initially encouraging everyone to use the lic.me domain.
  
  Will try and stick to it as much as I can do then :)
