Title: Animated GIF or moving/blinking postings not allowed
Post by: Northern Star Girl on February 05, 2025, 03:51:50 PM
A clear policy regarding not allowing GIFS to be posted on the Forum
was apparently lost as a result of the unfortunate site crash on January 01, 2024. 


The previous GIF policies that survived the site crash was a policy post authored by Susan:
                Photo, avatars, and signature policy
            https://www.susans.org/index.php/topic,59974.0.html

The above policy was then supplemented with another policy statement authored by Nero:
                No animated GIF or moving/blinking avatars or sigs please
            https://www.susans.org/index.php/topic,167533.msg1455256.html#msg1455256


The bottom line is:
Animated GIF or moving/blinking postings, avatars, signatures, GIFS are not allowed to be posted 
on the forum or used in profile Avatars and Signatures.


Any questions, contact me or any Forum staff member.

Yeah I remember that. There was kind of a craze for people to use weirdly animated banners in their signatures and animated avatars. The 2010's, lol. It's not really good for anyone. And not necessary.

Is it okay to use the emojis that are built in to this Web Site's editor?
Some move, some blink.

Be sure to click MORE to see them all.  They go beyond the faces.


I do not use them much at all.

Dear Chrissy:
YES, Mariah is correct... using and posting our site's emoji's that blink, move, and jump are absolutely OK.
HUGS, Danielle

It's mostly just avatars and banners. Banners in signatures especially. I remember there was a run on them back in the day. Back before social media was a thing. The cess pool formally known as Twitter, and Youtube and whatever. Even before Discord. When Forum software was like... the in thing. I was guilty of making some animated avatars. Not like Cyberpunk 2077 Braindance seizure inducing avatars, but I did. Because... I dunno.

We all grow up. ;D, well, most of us, lol.
