would it be possible for the coders of this site to implement some sort of obfuscation or spoiler for videos and images, or the tag could effect anything within it's range?!

...so, can a collapse tag be implemented for image and video clip obfuscation?


I'm sorry you're having issues with the site, but it looks like the two questions in your original post have been answered.

Yes, it IS possible to implement, but no, they will not do it.

I'm not trying to argue with anybody, but it sounds like this is a problem unique to you, and while that sucks, it seems it is limited to the boards - so you can still enjoy some great artwork from the main site.  But seeing as the site has gone on for YEARS at this point, it doesn't seem likely it'll change.

yes, i know when i'm told to foff. (my twisted translation of the above: establishment speak. oddly the place i was at were like that, till all the staff was banned and site renewed with ultra UI upgrades, two years ago.)
thanks anyway, i'll just share, it's not about enjoying anything, it's about work and getting it right.  :D

victim?
real classy, i was speaking mind (roll on the B&)  ::)
no, there's NO software issue, sorry if i utter failed to clarify that.
what i do is serious, i assume here is too.
there's scripts in place across many places for this exact reason.
early days, staffs had to oversee, than tags.
failing that, auto-script, using the core of the tag.
so if user SPAM like fuck a chunk of images that puts imax to shame, the boards can auto-correct it IF you don't wanna do be hand, ort leave the option for users to use it.
...
i must be frequenting the wrong joints, folks just have courtesy for others by default, and staff go nuts when they make a point of ignoring it.
...
agreed, web admins aren't coders, but they have their ears, so as a user, sorry, one of the same when the balls of the bull are in hands. (true, it just takes longer for the chain of command. so who's the sysop/coder that actually runs TCP? i mean RUNS it, maybe owned even by the same?)

As it says in my previous post.  Snowcone is the owner/operator/sysop -  he doesn't frequent the place much - he hasn't got time or inclination to upgrade/change the site.  I'm not saying I don't want things implemented, I'm not saying your idea is a bad one, I'm saying it's HIGHLY unlikely it will happen.

This is you playing the victim again.  I didn't tell you to foff- I told you it was a good idea, just that it was unlikely to happen.

I just don't like to be accused of telling a member to fuck off - either coded or otherwise, when as far as I was concerned all I did was explain the situation exactly as it is.  If WE could change it, we would.  Getting changes from the boss, are unlikely.  Not sure how much more basically I can put it.  Not trying to silence you, not surepticiously telling you to leave, nothing.  Just saying what the actual words I typed meant.

If I was going to tell you to fuck off, I would do it outright.  You read too much into everything I post.  From accusing me of stalking your IP address on day one.  Get over yourself, I'm really not that interested - I'd recommend speaking to someone about the paranoia.

Now can we continue to play nice? And to be crystal, transparent ultra clear -  I haven't typed this to silence you, or stop you asking questions, or be snide/nasty/call you out - just letting you know how the land lies.

thanks, it was pretty clear from the get-go.
and true, paranoid isn't the applicable word for me, english is. (i've survived trusting nobody, not crapshooting now.)
there's no help for peops like myself, only a gas chamber.
anyway, it's understood to it's maximum, and as a matter of course, i don't ask questions, (bar this subject, i don't spam subjects/queries/the same) i come armed, to partake, or no post.
it's good to know where e stand, appreciated.  :D
