Replying with pics. Over. And. Over. And. Over.

Page 1 of 1
Hi.
Any way you can turn off pictures in replies to posts? I've seen it on other forums, not sure if it's possible here. Saves reading a page full of replies with the pictures repeating over and over and over and over.
Thanks
Same goes with posters who copy a large often informative post and then post just a few words, the exercise then repeated by others over and over and over and over.

Whirlpool Forums have a notice come up that both warns and prevents posters from copying more text than they post, such a system would be good to have on Homeone.

The forum's term and conditions also need to be reviewed and made more prominent to stop multiple postings of the same thread in different sub forums, stop topic dumping and also to hopefully cut down on first time poster spam and non allowed use of business names as user names. It would be good if first time posters had to acknowledge that they have read and agree to the forum's terms and conditions prior to their first post being published.
I am going to have to agree with this one.

I am now finding myself skipping complete threads due to the fact that I see reply after reply with the same wall of text with a single line comment under it.
hi Mys013,

Have you tried turning this off from Settings > Advanced:


That did the trick thanks!!
Awesome, thanks. Now if you could only do something about links in first posts... might dissuade spamming a little.
Hi Berek,


Thanks for your feedback. Much agreed.

We are finally getting around to implementing more anti-spam measures in the coming week.

Relying upon Google's Captcha 2.0 addresses robot spam but doesn't seem to beat the human spammers. Next up, humans!
