New image limit?

[OverlordRoo]

I just attempted to add a small image into my OP for my OOC, and I got a warning that I had too many images. The message said I had 29 images and no more than 20 were allowed per post, which I thought was strange because A) it hadn't stopped me on this thread 8 images prior and B) I know several other threads run by myself and friends that have stored way more images in one post (for CS's and the like) without any complications.

Is this a new feature? It seems rather counter productive to me, if it is...

Hmm. I noticed Lillian Thorne also encountered a similar problem with her shop.

It's an image throttle due to the graphic image spam we were having issues with. I'll up the limit a little.

>.> I know quite a number of people store images in their OP or something of the like. Flames keeps a thread for his CS's for Arin Atrius, Kaga does the same thing for Data Spell, and Zelph keeps all our CS's for TJA4 on the second post....

And I imagine plenty of shops have plenty of graphics stored for reference to their previous work and to make the shop look nice....

I see a lot of inconvenience emerging from this new limit...

I figured it had to do with that.

Well, thanks for your help.

My mistake if I'm wrong, but shouldn't it be possible to only limit certain sections of the site? An image limit at all has the potential to cause issues in RP OOC's, plus CS threads, Galleries/shops, etc... so if the issue is spam, can't you just place an image limit on spam/off-topic?

Nvm, I get it now.

I think it was put up as a result of our latest string of porn gifs that were placed all over the site, not just in spam so limiting a section wouldn't help with this. Contra did say she would up the limit, it is probably just the price we will all pay to avoid such charming spam in the future.
