Congratulations you've made either a hugbox or an echo chamber depending on what you chose to ban.
How, exactly, is limiting file size a slippery slope? It's a common practice on many forums for christs's sake! I'm not outlawing images containing specific content, I'm saying "Link big images."
That's not a slippery slope. That's common sense and saying it's a slippery slope is absolutely incorrect. If I then said "No more images about KSP or Nepeta ever" thn yes, you would have a valid complaint.
Guess what? I have done neither. I told KC to stop spamming images in general, no matter what the content. Posting a ton of images and videos is spam no matter what, and isn't okay to do.
I can live with an upper limit on gif size, I don't like the sudden decision of what's good or bad for everyone without their input. "In my opinion" as I should probably preface this, the appropriate way to handle that would have been "KC that gif is ridiculous. In fact I think we may need a file size limit now that we can implement one" as opposed to "image removed, we now have a file size limit everyone, you're welcome"

You do realize I have mentioned not linking gigantic gifs in the past? Hell, Odin was going to say something about this before I decided this.
I don't go "yep this is a rule" unless it happens a lot. I don't go "yep this is a rule" unless it's an actual issue. I do have prior experience moderating stuff and helping formulate rules, I know what is and isn't okay to make rules for. I know that dropping rules with no warning (Something I didn't do in this case! I mentioned it often!) isn't completely okay unless other people voice complaints about it.
