Stopping new users posting pictures?

Is there any way? Like having to be a member for three months before accessing the sex topic, can they not have to be members for three months before posting images?

I'm seriously haunted by one tonight, and I don't usually get affected.

I agree with this, there have been several disgusting images posted tonight that I wish I hadn't seen

Rollyroo · 30/08/2016 00:25

Yes! What the hell is going on tonight?!

peaceloveandshitmoms · 30/08/2016 00:25

Something needs to be done.

SnowBodyforrrrm · 30/08/2016 00:25

This is a good idea. There is some very sad, odd person on here tonight. Very bloody odd indeed Angry

TealLove · 30/08/2016 00:26

This is horrific what's happening

Sweetdreamsaremadeofthis · 30/08/2016 00:26

Ooooo what have i missed??

Lj8893 · 30/08/2016 00:26

Absolutely agree!

Twirlywoooo · 30/08/2016 00:26

Ive just reported one it was horrible, the poster has posted numerous threads on aibu that I don't even want to clink on to report.

MyLlamasGoneBananas · 30/08/2016 00:26

Grim and bizarre. I have reported a couple but font want to open any more.

Stiddleficks · 30/08/2016 00:26

I agree, some really disturbing things being ousted, I hope they don't start posting on genuinely sensitive threads Sad

RunnyRattata · 30/08/2016 00:27

Just reported one. I agree with the newbie ban on pics. If somone was desperately needing to post a pic they should have to run it by MNHQ for their first 30 days.

Turntopage394 · 30/08/2016 00:28

Agreed many triggering photos on here all by same idiot.

ColdTeaAgain · 30/08/2016 00:28

I saw a couple of them, quite small thumbnails on my phone but could still see enough. Just wtf Sad

Tbh I think shutting done the site would be appropriate while they deal with this. Too harmful.

RunnyRattata · 30/08/2016 00:28

Are the Night Watch around?

PotatoBread · 30/08/2016 00:28

After tonight, I agree.

I almost expected the first because of the thread title so I managed to report it, but the second one completely caught me unawares. It's horrible, and the whole place is obviously being targeted right now.

OP posts:
Toooldtobearsed · 30/08/2016 00:29

Agreed. No reason to allow new posters to post a picture. I am virtually out of battery life having reported a load of horrible pictures.

Runny the night watch seem to be working quickly. They are aware on their board.

OP posts:
OvO · 30/08/2016 00:30

That's a really good idea, OP.

Hockeydude · 30/08/2016 00:32

Agree, posting pictures should be unavailable to new people. For those who didn't see, someone did several AIBUs with passable titles but when you opened the thread, there were bloody, gory images of severely injured people which were probably not real.

Notfastjustfurious · 30/08/2016 00:32

I opened a thread called sigh and closed it pretty damn quickly again wtaf. There was then a whole load of single post threads that I'm just not going to bother with. Someone with way too much time on their hands.

Stiddleficks · 30/08/2016 00:33

They've removed them now, there's nothing showing in the threads thank god.

ColdTeaAgain · 30/08/2016 00:37

Fake images I hope. Need to tell myself that. Thank you Night Watch. Just shows how much we need you.

TealLove · 30/08/2016 00:39

Yes don't worry they are honestly fake images

UmbongoUnchained · 30/08/2016 00:39

The SIL hit my son one was particularly horrible to see while heavily pregnant
