Is there a reason why I cannot post pictures or HTML in the comments any more?

yeah, there were trolls filling up Jezebel comment feeds with rape porn. Jezebel complained to Gawker that they didn't have the tools to actively block it, Gawker did nothing.

Jezebel made their complaints public.

Trolls expanded to the rest of Gawker.

Comment feeds were filled with Gore and Rape porn.

Gawker disabled pictures and re-enabled the two-tier comment system until they can fix the problem.

I saw someone eating - arse fresh - shit in the comments of an io9 article. It was fun.

Basically, Gawker is following the Catholic school discipline model right now - somebody did something bad, so everybody is being punished. Should be temporary though.

Well, that's not completely fair. It's what assholes were doing to the Jezzies, and the rest if Gawker, that led to this.

Looks like they'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully.

You know what I find amusing (I have a warped sense of humor) in this situation? Is the current story over on Jezz about disney dudes manhood.

While I'm not saying they should have to put up with what they did, why is it that they can post stuff like that story? Maybe that's offensive to some people too?
