To be fair the 4 weeks thing is a one-time issue, once you're done with that Lemm.ee is pretty good. Good admins, and indeed nice to have a more unfiltered view
Hello @[email protected], have you all every considered reducing the avatar upload timeframe to 2 weeks instead of 4?
We'll get some more control over images when 1.0 comes, I will take a look at it again then, but in general the new user cooldown for image uploads has really significantly reduced the amount of image related abuse we have seen.
@[email protected] please understand, nobody on our admin team is getting paid to moderate disgusting images, they are volunteering to do it, and it takes a mental toll. Also, image hosting itself is not free. Our donations right now are barely breaking even with server costs. So realistically, our options are not "current situation vs fully unrestricted image uploads", they are "current situation vs completely burned out admin team and costs increasing beyond donations".
Thank you for the answer!
