I don't think the use of GIFs needs to be debated among moderators. As I said before, it is quite logical.

If they are abused and inserted in every comment or done to annoy the moderators, as has been the case with Lorentzos these days (he admitted to doing it on purpose to "unmask" those who annoy him, something that I personally find very childish on his part), let him abide by the consequences.

We are in a technical forum about a platform and a programming language focused on trading. A bit of seriousness and respect for ALL readers and users. People here are not looking for entertainment, they are mostly looking for solutions to problems.

I'm 99% sure that a large majority of readers are annoyed by GIFs or don't care about them, so if for a large majority they don't contribute anything or even bother them, what are we talking about, what is there to debate, just because Lorentzos wants to? It is absurd...

Lorentzos, only you make use of GIFs, and only you are fighting for something that bothers only you. Honestly, if I were you, I'd rethink the situation.

I insist on what I said yesterday...a well placed GIF can be funny. But flooding the forum with GIFs in every comment to also annoy the moderators when you were aware that they were being deleted.... Do you really need it to be in the rules or do you need an official statement? Ridiculous...

Dear Miguel, I dont find GIFs annoying but you think its annoying, its your thought but what about other people thought? Would not you give respect to other people thought?, any third person may still vote "Not being annoyed" so why its being so hard to add this on rule list of forum? It will make clear not just for Lorentzos but other people on forum too because as you find programming a serious topic, I dont agree and any third person may also disagree with programming as a serious topic, I find it fun and entertaining, I code while having fun, listen to music and I still code program successfully without being serious. If you write this on rule book, everybody will follow that since everybody respects the rules or get banned. But if its not clear, other people may keep posting or flooding gifs too. I hope this feedback will be considered.

Rules

  1. Please be polite when communicating on this website. Refrain from statements that may offend or insult other users.
  2. Negative discussions of any banking, brokerage and other financial institutions are not allowed.
  3. Any discussions about personal relations between the community members are not tolerated.
  4. Coarse language, advertising messages, spamming and flooding are forbidden.
  5. Repeated violation of the Rules, ignoring moderator's remarks and open disrespect for the website Administration will lead to an account termination.
  6. The website Administration may implement any changes to the Rules it deems necessary.

What part of "flooding" and "ignoring a moderator's warnings" is not understood?

Should we also put in the rules that a simple "Hello" in a thread will also be deleted for contributing nothing? You'd be surprised at the number of such comments we delete per day that many of you don't even get to see with a "Hello" or "How are you? I'm new".

If a moderator considers that a user is abusing GIFs and that those GIFs do not contribute anything except a smile (for some), it is deleted and we do not have to resort to the rules to see if it was right or not. That's what the administrators are there for.

Do you see any administrator here contradicting what the moderators (Sergey, me or the former moderator Alain) are saying/doing?

I have nothing more to say. I don't want to take part in this ridiculous discussion any more.
