Out with the Animated Profile Pictures

[Aschorren]

Greetings.

I'm creating this thread in order to touch on something which has been bothering me and the majority of the MCM community for days now.

There have already been dozens of threads that mention this issue but they don't provide concrete evidence about why they're disruptive to the website experience.

A small batch of people are setting their profile pictures to extremely excessively animated and strobe-like gifs and it not only is terrible for eyesight but these profile pictures are also distracting and unprofessional. They completely ruin the professional and sleek vibe that MC-Market usually offers so elegantly. most of the time.

On a marketplace forum, I'd expect complete professionalism from the profiles of users.

Having every other profile picture be a rainbow strobe or random animation is completely ruining the experience for me as well as a large majority of the community and they really have to go.

Please rate this post as AGREE if you'd like to see gif profile pictures be removed.

I'm pretty sure it's been removed.

If you don't want to see it just scroll down, or adblock the user's img.

Some animated profile pictures such as OG's are fine, but there are some extremely unprofessional ones. +1 to Aschorren for this idea.

I know which one's he's talking about.
The rainbow ones, that make you look trippy correct?

Yes, those... They are literally the most annoying thing.... And also it's quite dangerous for some people.

This is the most silly argument I have ever heard.

"Stop calling me a meanie"
"It's not my fault, if you don't want me to call you a meanie just don't listen"

Is basically what you're saying right now.

Did I tell everyone to do that?
No. That's what I do.
I said you can adblock the avatar.

When I reinstalled the server I tried using a different image processer to make uploads faster and more reliable. Looked like that enabled gifs while that wasn't my intention at all.

I've changed everything back and disallowed gifs again a few days ago.

What about the people who already have a gif? What will their profile picture be?

Nothing. The image is already processed and on the server so that stays. Only new gifs can't be uploaded.
