REMOVE THE ABILITY TO POST PHOTOS COMPLETELY

Yes I’ve posted in all caps because this is something that needs to be yelled about. It’s not good enough for them to be reported and removed, even if 24/7 paid mods are employed. They should not be able to be posted at all. I can’t see any 100% cast-iron system that can prevent such images from ever slipping through, and that is too high of a risk to pay. We don’t need photos that badly here. This is by and largely a text-based forum. I feel utterly sickened that this has happened and can happen again at any moment. Unless photos are disabled completely, no one is safe from being assaulted with such disgusting images.

Could the ability to post photos be delayed until someone has been a member for x time? Not foolproof if people are determined, but would remove the ability to sign up and post immediately.

Agree. Thankfully I didn’t see the images posted last night but there have definitely been images posted here I didn’t want to see (people went through a stage of posting genitalia pictures at one point).

MN either need to remove the facility to post or pre-moderate any images. The former is probably easier.

I don't think they should remove the ability to post photos or screenshots, the site wouldn't be the same and many other forums manage it just fine.

I do think there should be paid 24 hour moderation.

And some sort of photo ID verification before people can post photos.

I don't think photos should be stopped but perhaps any post that has a photo should be pending until they have been seen by someone at mn.

Then you are very fortunate because graphic CSA images were posted last night.

I’ve never seen disgusting images.

Lots of cute puppies though.
