So has this been implemented yet? Things don't look any different.

"It is not a democracy. If it was a democracy, then Joffrey would have died much earlier than he did."

Of course, it doesn't even do that. Apparently twitter pics still work as do HTML edited images. And if the goal is to get rid of disgusting posts that make you want to vomit Drew Magary should probably stop writing for Deadspin :P jkjk

If you're not annoyed by them you don't really have a reason to be annoyed by what started them.

How were they naive? They've posted complaints about this on Jezebel several times, this is just the first time it got mainpaged on Gawker. Like I said, the only thing they had to lose was they get trolled more. The rest of Gawkermedia being hit was unforseen.

I'd still say they only figured they would make the situation worse for themselves, an acceptable risk in their eyes as it wasn't going to get better. It was posted to Jezebel, only this time someone at Gawker decided to mainpage it/crosslink it. They've posted similar complaints earlier and it was never…

Fuck it, I'm a guy, I'll say it, this Keith Ablow fuck-head can stand to lose 35 to 50 lbs himself.

That's what Gawker staff meetings are, for the Gawkermedia conglomerate. And, to wit, one of Johnson's responses was that it's not hitting Gawker mainpage so he's not affected.

It was discussed at staff meetings with all of the sister sites, and no support was offered or given.

So they never should have complained is what you are saying. So they should have just continued to manually delete and ignore and dismiss rape and murder gif posts. Ok. Well, now everyone is getting hit. So we can all put our money where our mouths are and "tough it out" for 2 months without complaining. I'm game,…

I assume we would be just as critical if Bricken had made a post if io9 had been subjected to the same shit for months.

Their other suggestions were to eliminate burner accounts, or limit burner accounts ability to post images. Or remove the Twitter->Kinja integration. All were shot down. Johnson wanted burner accounts to have access because that way Gawker can get anonymous news tips in the comments section. Anonymous news tips in…

Idunno, I guess Joel Johnson just talks out his ass:

This isn't Kotaku's "decision" this is Gawker HQ's decision, Gawkermedia is finally making a call on it. They tweeted earlier this morning that they were planning on blocking images across all Gawker sites soon.

Eh, a group of bloggers/journalists called attention to the fact that their bosses are idiots. *shrug* That's what bloggers/journalists do. Yeah, so the trolls are now trolling all of Gawkermedia as opposed to -just- Jezebel and Groupthink. The consensus from the rest of Gawkermedia was that Jezebel commenters…

Bobsplosion. AFAIK he has a bank of gifs and ASCII art.

Well, they've had the problem for months and requested several times of Gawker to implement a "proper screening function." Gawker refused, several times over in as many months, so they posted something about it.

I wonder if he'll resort to posting ASCII art.

I'm incredulous at the idea of any 10 year old that can hit 140 wpm, if only due to hand size.

Well, I'm kinda talking about 10 and under as "child."
