I have not been able to post anyquestions. anyone know why?
The recent comments here are getting increasing dumber and off-topic. Maybe it's time to lock them, Will.

(It would be nice if we could embed images into posts, even as thumbnails you click to open in new tabs.)
Not a fan of images, too difficult to moderate and becomes clunky
Embedding images in comments is a great way to spread malware. Nice try.
Lol. Embedded images would be an awful and inefficient way to try to spread malware. It's much easier to do it via links, which you can add to your profile.
The main concern would be trying to monitor what sort of images get posted.
"Nice try" - What exactly do you think I was trying?
A simple "That wouldn't work because it could be used to spread malware" would've sufficed.
Idk why there's so much snark here, you didn't do anything wrong
Aaron wants Will to allow a feature that would compromise the entire site. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Is there something wrong with asking a question? They never said there's nothing wrong with allowing images.
Me and my friends set the over under at 10 for how many times Eric will make unnecessary comments on this post
Looks like the under may win.
Now would be a great time to start removing unnecessary posts @william@charles
Testing
It was smart that @2 only made us agree to the "comment rules" once. That may motivate some people that don't use an email address to start using one to avoid that annoyance each time they comment. 😉
The only annoyance here is you.
Eric, annoying? Thats a bit far. Fastidious, petty, pedantic.. these are better descriptors. He keeps us on our toes, pretty good at reading terms and strategizing to max a bonus offer, and I bet he wears a sweet fedora.
See this is the kind of guy we would loose if we had downvotes, because I guarantee his comments would be stoned to oblivion like in r/churning. There also everyone is afraid to ask a "stupid" question or even add some advice because downvotes, so it becomes an oppressed forum for discourse.
This place is quite different (no oppression of discourse) but obviously it is still easy to be a troll. So my advice is, if your gonna troll, be funny ffs.
Fastidious, petty, pedantic = Annoying
Generalizing, Bob. 3 things can't equal 1, maf just is not done in this manner
What is maf?
Ah I see, everything is computer.
Say this like jar ar... Whatsa mafa with you? Answer back soon please.
That isn't how downvotes work on this site. But if it were, we could afford to "loose" a few people, including you.
For sure downvotes would discourage a lot of comedians. What fun would that be?
And speaking of pots and kettles, you wrote one of the funniest comments in this thread. I'm glad both you and carlzjr are still on the loose.
Why are you complimenting yourself?
I did upvote your comment so you can feel good man
"Please bring back downvoting." DoC deleted my comment. Lol.
No I didn't
OK. Well, someone did because my original comment is no longer there.
