Some of these are more diverting my attention away than towards their advertisements.

like i said, era folk must be creative because it's never seen on zod or un

Being the kind person I am, I casually contacted the person doing this and he said that he has ceased the attacks.

Putting it in bold certainly lets us know your opinion of it, lol. I don't like the idea of having to remove images either but this has become a serious problem with Graalians from all servers affected. Yes, some servers have put in filters and yes, Stefan has added key words to the main filters but we all know that only lasts so long.

Personally my first choice is to make imaging an option again, then you could add all the filters you wanted but at least you would have the option of shutting them off until such time as a new filter could be added. That option is up to Stefan though, I don't and didn't know if its a possible solution to the problem. Hopefully it is.

I hope he fully disables HTML. Many a times players have reported pornographic and visually disturbing images PMed to them via mass or private message. The item selling ads are creative and fun but the images of men or females bending over and exposing themselves is not suitable or relevant to the game. At least I don't think they are.

It's not that simple, you can log image requests in general. I.e. In Rails:

Started GET "/test_fowlplay4.png" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-05-21 09:43:46 -0700

I still think the best option will be a white-list of approved image hosts, and then an player-list option to disable the rendering of external images in PMs.

Unless Stefan can script it into the PM system we'll likely need a client update (we're way overdue already).

Not familiar with the wordfilter, so I'll use regex, but would something like this be possible for now?

RULE
CHECK pm
MATCH {php|png|jpg|jpeg|gif}\?.\>
PRECISION 100%
WORDPOSITION part
ACTION log replace
RULEEND

Be possible?

Yea we totally need images and HTML in mass messages and PMs instead of taking care of a blatant security risk.

The **** is wrong with you people? Just remove them altogether.

images are really useful on era since there are hundreds of different hats and most people don't know what they all look like..i know of people who massed perverted images/videos and i also know by fact that they were banned and reset so people don't really do that anymore xD
a viable option would be to disable clicking on the images, allowing players to simply view them

X_X Viewing the images is what causes the issue, bloodykiller.

u should be able to take images off it u wanted to, but why should graal regress like this? images were used by a lot of players
