I'm actually intending for there to be some rules regarding the posting of caps & pics; including not permitting hotlinking, a list of permitted hosts (which can easily be updated when required), a maximum size of embedded images and a limit on the number of such full size images. I've not put too much thought into it yet, but will discuss it with some of the prolific cap & pic posters.

are things like this gonna be included in the 'rules' http://www.babeshows.co.uk/showthread.ph...#pid996904

Its getting stupid now, one cap posted just so you can start a thread is just.....

RE: Cap Posting : Thumbnail v's Fullsize | Excessive Quantity
^^^ well that's actually better than some I've seen. Rolleyes Someone a few days ago, (who will remain nameless) started a caps & vids thread for Ella Jolie, with just the message "Your Caps & Vids To Go In Here" laugh

The thread has since been replaced. Big Grin But it's not the first I've seen do that, and I doubt it will be that last. Rolleyes

I agree with Gaz here. It's very sad that one poster seems intent on starting almost every single new thread going at the moment on the main channels with just one cap. I know I did it a few weeks ago for Clare's nighttime caps thread, but that was because I felt I had to do it that way. It's all a far cry from September 2010, when I was able to start Sammie P's Pad caps and vids thread a full 45 minutes into the show, without even trying to be first.
To stop these antics, one solution would be for a mod to start the thread the day before a girl makes her debut. In any case, it's not the OP that's important, it's the quantity (and more importantly, quality) of the content.

RE: Starting New Threads
Big fucking Egos.it seems some believe it's their right to start a thread,grow up.We've even had the ridiculous situation of threads starting on a babe moving channels on nothing more than heresay,which in many cases the subsequent move never materializing.So if I beat you to starting a thread & it pisses you off,then good,get over it !

RE: Starting New Threads
Simple solution :
Create a generic forum account which all mods have access to.
If someone starts a caps&vids/chat thread for a new girl/girl moving channels, just delete it and restart it with the generic account.
That way the generic account gets the thread starter credit instead of the attention seekers.

RE: Starting New Threads
^^^^ Nice idea, Wink but wouldn't actually work, as the threads are date orientated. So when the original post is merged into the new thread, it takes over as the threads creator. As it has the earliest timestamp.

So the moderators would actually have to edit the date of there post to a time before the original post. And I'm pretty certain that can't be done.

For example:
If another post was merged into this thread that had an earlier date than gazfc's, then it would take over as the threads creator.

Yeah, that's why I said to delete the original post and start over with a new thread Smile

An alternative method to keep the original thread if additional posts have been added.
Create a post today in a staff-only section with the generic account and leave it there for repeated use.
When a new thread is started, copy that post to that new thread (or copy it to the relevant section then merge threads, depending on the mod options available).
That post then becomes the thread starter as it is oldest, simply rename and add any content accordingly.

Next new thread that is created, do the same again with the same generic post etc.

You can't delete a post just because it's the first one of a new thread. What if it contained Caps & Videos. Or had a relevent comment to make within the context of the new thread.

The only ones that should be deleted are the pointless one's, Like starting a caps & vids thread, but not posting any yourself. Of starting a Chat thread with a stupid comment like "Chat & Discussion to go in here". Anything else should be left as it stands now.
