We are currently only allowing text posts. I've had people complement and criticize this in seemingly equal numbers. Thus, I would like to open it up to members of the sub to decide... for now.
**Text-Only** - Limiting posts to text-only maintains a cleaner sub. It has virtually eliminated spam posts, since spammers can't just drop a direct link and bounce. People can still embed links to images in their posts, but they are forced to add context. A picture of gear is honestly pretty worthless without so much as a list or some description of the thought behind it.
**Image Posts** - I do understand why people want the image posts. They give a more interesting look to the sub as visitors scroll the page. The trouble is that I have to enable all link posts, not just images, to make this possible. This opens the door for spam links that were previously pretty rampant. Automod doesn't have a great configuration for identifying spam, so removal becomes a much more manual process for the moderators.
I'm going to put this to a vote. Simply click the links below to vote. I'll let this run for a few days, and we will run with the community decision for at least a month. At that point, the mod team will discuss and adjust, if necessary.
Cheers!
