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?

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".

Ick.
