Can't Post Images On FP Now...(Edit)

...this whole thing is now starting to effect (all of) us. Just because some bitter little bitches won't stop posting nasty shit. I just want you to know that I can't stand you, trolls. Jalops, Opponauts, you know what this means: Tonight, we hunt troll.

(Edit: Apparently I can't even post an image into here. Into my own post which I am the author of. Oh well, let me describe it to you. It was the Sparta Leonidas meme, and it read TONIGHT/ WE HUNT TROLL.)

Fuck this shit. Heres a Ferrari.

OH FUCK THIS SHIT.

Just because Gawker refuses to get a better user integration system... WHO CARES ABOUT BURNER ACCOUNTS? Ban them entirely. Force people to use a social media account.

If they want to send tips about stories anonymously, use a goddamn email.

Thanks reddit, 4chan or whoever else. I hope you've made your point by ruining it for average users.

Because the best solution is to allow the couple of trolls to win by inhibiting the majorities' ability to enjoy the site. Gawker needs to IP ban.

But, I, and many others, are on burners, and we contribute to the experience, rather than diminish it. They should just tier the commenting system. No image privileges unless followed by the blog you are trying to post image on.

in an attempt to understand the situation better, can you tell me why you have a burner account and not a linked account? not trying to make a point, just trying to understand.

Yea, maybe thats a more elegant way of doing it. I'm just pissed that as always, the assholish few find a way to ruin it for the people who aren't total dicks about it.

Hell, restrict burner image posting rights to 1 every topic or something. I don't know. I'm no coder, I have no idea how hard that is to enforce.

I know that reddit makes you wait between posts if you're new to the subreddit till you've garnered a certain amount of karma, maybe we can have that here?

macanamera > HammerheadFistpunch
08/12/2014 at 13:17

Honestly, that's just how I started. Like, I didn't know if there was any way for someone to figure out my identity using a linked account, and all the options seemed equivalent in their ability to post, so I was like, burner, why not?

If someone has a facebook linked account, can you like, see their facebook?

PatBateman > $kaycog
08/12/2014 at 13:17

So, $kay... What's up? How are you today?

Saracen > macanamera
08/12/2014 at 13:18

What a bunch of BS. I've been a part of Jalopnik and Oppo for over seven years. Why am I getting restricted for what a bunch of idiot trolls are doing?

Burner accounts were a terrible idea in the first place, and now, well it's just time to burn them.

yamahog > Sam
08/12/2014 at 13:18

Because we were much better off just inhibiting the minorities' ability to enjoy the site and pretending the trolling would just end one day? Phrasing.... :/

HammerheadFistpunch > macanamera
08/12/2014 at 13:19

can you see any of my google linked details? I'm asking because I think you have a legit safety concern (and im curious)...but as far as a know, its not anything other than a shared permission.

Let me ask you this question then, if there was a way to convert your account without missing a beat...would there be any reason not to?

macanamera > Sportwägen, Driver Of The Red Sportwagen
08/12/2014 at 13:19

Wait, how does that change anything though? I thought gmail accounts and burners had equal posting capability. I was just lending a suggestion as to how they could maybe fix this. I have authorship on Oppo of course, its just under this burner.

Imirrelephant > macanamera
08/12/2014 at 13:22

That's how I started, too. Now that I have some history here with my burner, albeit small and relatively insignificant, I don't particularly want to switch. If there was a way to merge a burner into a linked account (Google+, FB, or Twitter), I would likely do so.

I also have the question about if anyone can find your linked account through Kinja. I'm not so worried that I will piss someone off as much as being a random target for some hacker.

macanamera > Saracen
08/12/2014 at 13:22

What is your account linked to? Can you still post images, or is it a burner-only ban right now?

Victorious Secret > PatBateman
08/12/2014 at 13:22

Lets go kill something Pat, what are we doing talking?

Saracen > macanamera
08/12/2014 at 13:22

It's linked to my google account.

And no, I cannot post images.

macanamera > HammerheadFistpunch
08/12/2014 at 13:23

If I could convert this burner over to my facebook, or gmail, without people being able to learn my name, I would do it in a second.

EDIT: …. fucking gawker. Does this mean I can't make Oppo posts with pictures anymore? (actual question, can someone answer so I (or a mod) can go ahead and unshare this).

I'm just here doing a test post. I log in with facebook, but only because I'm lazy.

That's exactly my concern. Honestly, there are plenty of people on here that I wouldn't mind being fabo friends with in real life (as opposed to fake life?), but I don't want everyone/anyone to be like, "Oh, who's Mac? Well, here is his facebook>lets google his name>he lives at this address>and now all his bank accounts are empty."

Unfortunately that's how some people conduct themselves on the internet. Are there any commenters in this thread that have a linked account? If one of you doesn't mind and would like to respond, I would like to see if I can get to the account that is linked. I promise that there is no malicious intent. Just curiosity about what I don't know of Kinja.

Test. We shouldn't be able to. Anyone who still can may be working with an archived cache (this is a hypothetical / conjecture) of kinja.

Milky > HammerheadFistpunch
08/12/2014 at 13:35

I've been on here for years and don't even know what that means exactly. I log in with facebook, so I assumed it was linked to me. Do I need to link it to an email?

I know some, such as ncasolowork2, use burners because their company computers are filtered to block all Twitter/Facebook/Google+ content, so burner accounts are the only way they can post from work.

What am I looking at a Luger .22?

NaturallyAspirated > macanamera
08/12/2014 at 14:17

It's a Navy model Luger in 9mm. Longer barrel, rear sights adjustable to either 100m or 200m. Here's another angle:

Kinja'd!!!

To clarify, I would never advocate or encourage use of violence on a fellow human being. "Troll hunting" brought to my mind a hunt for the mythological creatures; I realize that my original post makes it look like I am advocating violence on Internet trolls, and that was not my intent.

macanamera > NaturallyAspirated
08/12/2014 at 14:43

Understood. And yeah, I know it was a Luger, but given that angle I couldn't tell much about the caliber. Nice guns though.

I have a burner account because I'm inherently skeptical of giving login information from one network (Google or Facebook) to another (Gawker Media). I prefer to keep all of my accounts separate, and that should be my prerogative. Honestly, I've completely opted out of services in the past because the only method for signup was with a Facebook account.

If a service is provided for free, you, and your information, are what's for sale. I am no Luddite, but I prefer to retain as much control over my online presence as possible.

08/12/2014 at 15:15

it amounts to little or nothing, but I do have a question for you, with a clear understand of how the credentials are shared and assuming you are happy with the sharing/security of it, would you be willing to convert to a linked account?

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > HammerheadFistpunch
08/12/2014 at 15:27

Willing? Yeah, probably, if that's my only option for continuing to participate here on OPPO. I'm not going to abandon the community, if that's determined to be the only solution to this problem. But that's with the assumption that I'd be able to keep all my history and the only perceptible change to my account would be on the back end.

HammerheadFistpunch > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com
08/12/2014 at 15:29

good to know. Again, not that I have the power to do anything about it...i just like to get your perspective. If they DO ask, I will advocate on your issues happily.
