Does anyone else have issue with the somewhat frequent graph spam in some threads?
Often when people are trying to put their post across about the performance of card X vs card Y, then post a significant number of large images, which just results in massive amounts of scrolling for probably 99% of people who don't give a damn.
Then people QUOTE those posts, and leave the graphs intact, resulting in even more scrolling with zero additional contribution to threads.
Can we have some sort of control over the massive graph spam in threads?
Maybe limit things to one or two images, and link the rest, rather than having everything ishowing up inline in the threads?
Other forums have spoiler functions which can be used to hide images, I don't know if VB has this function, but I assume it might. Would it be possible for this to be enabled here if it does exist?
Does anyone else find it SERIOUSLY annoying to have massive posts of just graphs when one person is trying to prove their point to one other person, crapping up the thread?
I was considering reporting posts to see what the mods think, but then I thought maybe it would be better to guage the general opinion of the forum as a whole plus the mods, and see if other people had issues with it as well.
Not trying to call out specific users, this are just the most recent posts which illustrates the point:
