You can block the individual GIF from appearing in your browser using an ad blocker such as uBlock Origin which can be installed easily to most web browsers. Once done you can right click on the offending image and select "Block element...". A box will appear bottom right, you can preview the change to ensure you've selected the correct element (note for this particular offending element you will see the target is "i.imgur.com/Rkzfkml.gif"). Click "Create". That specific GIF should no longer display within websites in that web browser. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Xun Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Sorry Dryad, but I do have to complain. I've personally exposed epileptics to flashing screens and it's not a pretty sight. I think we don't have policy against such, but perhaps it should be changed? @Dryad . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryad Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm not against making that a rule. Currently it isn't breaking rules by my understanding, the only rule is images need to be PG13. Something that devs in games that I have previously played have asked for and that I like to do, is to challenge these edge-cases of things that aren't against the rules but perhaps should be. Generally the more people do things that are questionable the more of an issue they become and thus rules tend to become more fleshed out and improve by including these things and straight up mention them to not be allowed. It was the same with the fake-nation pages which did happen to get banned, challenging the rules may very well improve them. That's my justification to why I think what I'm doing isn't wrong. The reason I have that header on the other hand is simply because I like it, certainly though I can find a header that is more easy going on eyes which I also like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Alex Posted September 25, 2019 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2019 Personally, I don't think the image in question here is flashing quickly enough to cause any epileptic reactions. We have not received any complaints from anyone with a real epileptic condition. @Dryad You're welcome to change it if you'd like to be nice to the folks who have asked you to here, but I am not going to require it. While it's not officially a rule, I will ask or force-change myself extremely annoying/flashing imagery if it becomes a problem, and I have done so in the past. 2 2 Is there a bug?
