Telcis Posts: 19,270 Opal Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile The original purpose of Ascii in the context of the RS forums was to post memes in lieu of being able to post images. With the ability to post images being granted to the players, should the rules or prejudices around Ascii being posted be relaxed or removed? 10-Apr-2019 23:10:32
Dec 2011 Archaeox Posts: 53,398 Emerald Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile The problem, I think, is that ASCII art can so easily become spammy. Example: ________$$$$ _______$$__$ _______$___$$ _______$___$$ _______$$___$$ ________$____$$ ________$$____$$$ _________$$_____$$ _________$$______$$ __________$_______$$ ____$$$$$$$________$$ __$$$_______________$$$$$$ _$$____$$$$____________$$$ _$___$$$__$$$____________$$ _$$________$$$____________$ __$$____$$$$$$____________$ __$$$$$$$____$$___________$ __$$_______$$$$___________$ ___$$$$$$$$$__$$_________$$ ____$________$$$$_____$$$$ ____$$____$$$$$$____$$$$$$ _____$$$$$$____$$__$$ _______$_____$$$_$$$ ________$$$$$$$$$$ This looks fine by itself, but imagine a whole page of the darned things where people are using it instead of posting "+1".

Telcis Posts: 19,270 Opal Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile How is that any different from someone posting an image? 11-Apr-2019 09:20:07
Dec 2011 Archaeox Posts: 53,398 Emerald Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile Images don't display automatically, and are smaller, so don't slow down the scrolling so much. ~~~~ Just another victim of the ambient morality ~~~~ ~~ Founder of the Caped Carousers quest cape clan ~~ !!

Telcis Posts: 19,270 Opal Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile So if Ascii were to be hidden in a spoiler tag, or unrealistically a new button to reduce the "intrusiveness" then they could be used interchangeably? 12-Apr-2019 23:59:21
Dec 2011 Archaeox Posts: 53,398 Emerald Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile Sure, why not? I would suggest using the 'spoiler' tag, but this would be the same size as the artwork (whereas the image tag is not). ~~~~ Just another victim of the ambient morality ~~~~ ~~ Founder of the Caped Carousers quest cape clan ~~ !!

Telcis Posts: 19,270 Opal Posts by user Forum Profile RuneMetrics Profile Yeah, that's why I suggested the new button idea. But as forums don't get updates I wont hold my breath. 14-Apr-2019 01:22:20
