Correct. “Img src” tags become Someone Else’s Bandwidth.
My only grouse is the aforementioned trolls. In past years the Vikings Kitties would come out to play with people who were disruptive copy/pasters (or as Rush called them, seminar callers). Worse, lots of them appear as if they have longstanding accounts whereas people were easily able to see a recent join date + trash post and intervene.
Either there’s a bug that allows backdating the join date or lots and lots of troll usernames were grabbed long ago …. Occam’s razor applies.
Some topics are impossible to actually discuss without that chaff drowning every thread.
I don’t want to be the arbiter but it’s a problem. You can get bad trolls on X or gab or Reddit or patriots.win any day.
It wouldn’t cost much to add a simple “Ignore User” feature.
