Me and Patrick have been having a slight argument on the relevence of images throughout a topic, and whether or not it is right to post these images if the image only is relevant to only a portion of that users post. I'll post are discussion so far below.
-----------------------------------
Me: Well,you quoted a division by zero.
Him: Get to the point rather than criticize me for allegedly dividing by zero!
Me: Image Spam is the best, especially in this section.
Him: You are completely wrong. Image spam is bad.
Anyway, you get a 1/10 for continuing to post image spam.
In case of ninja, this is at Krizaz.
Me: I'm gonna ask a mod (never did) if an image is appropriate when relevant to the topic, which all images have been. Even the cowboy one.
Him: The answer to the first part of your post is probably yes as long as you don't spam them. As for the images posted, it is up to the moderators to determine an image's relevance, not you or me. I simply called them spam because I think that they're irrelevant.
Me: But how is it irrelevant if I can back up why I posted the image with a quote or stating myself why I posted it. If my logic is correct, than your statement is invalid and you are contradicting yourself.
Him: Your argument is futile because it ultimately comes down to the mods/admins. In fact, I flagged each image from you other than the ninja because I thought that it was irrelevant and therefore spammy.
Me: But you fail to realize that each image had it's reason to be up there. I was not posting an image for the sake of posting an image (hint: I was), and even if I did it was all relevant. I'm creating a topic for this so we can get some posting count credit. -----------------------------------------
So you see, were at a bit of a spilt point. And we need your input to tell us what is right, and to see what the problem is refer to the topic 'how much respect do you have for this user' and look for pages 367-370. ------------------------------------------
Obviously, I think that I can post an image as long as it is a bit relevant and you pout your reason for posting that image, as I did. Although Patrick disagrees, and I cannot tell if he thinks it is wrong to post an image at all or if you should have more text to post an image.
If you quote something somebody else said, then unless that poster declares it spammy, then it is fair game, hence the 'ninja' in the original topic. So unless many people declare it spammy, you can post any relative image that goes along with a certain post. And with the respect topic, the posts change the actual topic being discussed every time, o it is a very flexible topic.
When all is said and done, it is up to the mods/admins to determine whether an image is relevant if it's flagged. An image is only safe if it's not flagged.
This is an actual debate, as far as I could tell the serf thing was just some stupid phase.

And a mod would never flag an image that is relevant in my terms. So then you are wrong, an image that is relevant to the topic at hand or to the post getting quoted can be posted without scorn.

Patrick2011, you need to be more fuuunnnnn and eeasssyy.... being serious all the time... and God dread the day that the Internet is serious business.
Most images tend to be off-topic and used to create humor or demonstrate a fail/win, and as long as it is not completely random or uncalled for, or that the entire post is compromise dof image(S), I think it's just fiiineeee
Okay, what I'm doing may be borderline image spam, but basically, my point is that I don't think using images is a bad thing, as long as your message contains enough text to actually be considered a decent post even without the image.
Well, your image is technically image spam. Although yes, images at the right intervals do look nice. Relevant or non. If your discussing something serious (religion), it can relax the mood if you put a random cute dog in the frame.
I will agree... If you agree I won the debate and everything you say is irrelevant because you think images are irrelevant regardless of when used.
Such an agreement is impossible because it is ultimately up to the mods and admins for flagged image posts. Your thinking of images as relevant applies only to unflagged images.

Images can be relevant even if flagged. Such as the ninja one.
