Reaction images guidelines

[Clavus]

Ok, so I had enough of the pointless reaction image spammery. Now we have a rule against reaction images. This does not mean I totally outlaw them. Time for reaction image posting 101. Let's look at a bad example and a good example:

WHY BAD:

• We don't need you to point out that the original post was terrible in terms of spelling.
  
• Original post still had a valid question. Answer it or don't post.
  

GOOD EXAMPLE

  Someone said:

HAY GUISE LOOK AT MY NEW PET

  First post said:

OH GOD KILL IT WITH FIRE

WHY GOOD:

• Reacts toward the content of a post. Not towards the user.
  
• Stays ontopic (topic being HUGE FUCKING SPIDER)
  
• Could be considered funny.
  

So in general, don't post reaction images that make you look like a smug asshole. And don't use them all the fucking time.

Scary now

GIFs should be rare and unexpected anyway. This way, they will be extra funny.

Clav, I know this is slightly off-topic, but I dont understand about Gif's in Signature. Is it allowed or not?

[Tom Klijbroek]

Well it's pretty arbitrary. What one considers to be funny will be totally lame to someone else. Maybe there should be a definition of 'funny' in the rule. Like 'Could be considered funny by at least 1 admin'.

The way I see it, Just ask yourself, What would clavus think of me if I post this image.

Then it'd probably be best not to post it.

Clavus thinks me and Tom Klijbroek are idiots anyway, so for us it doesn't matter if we do as it won't change his opinion. Nyahahahah.

Gifs that are not a perfect loop and less than 5 seconds in length OR from a shitty sitcom, are hereby banned in general.

In my defense: I'm drunk. Don't ban me.

[Clavus]

It's a owl and it loops perfectly.

You're excused for now.

[Baron Baconeer]

So hang on. You're allowed to use gif reaction pics if it's an owl that loops?
