I'll take a look through the config settings and see if it can easily be added to the image embed stuff. In the meantime, you can embed it if you host the file elsewhere and use image markdown:
New sign ups should have a waiting period say 3 days before they can reply to a thread, and 7 days before they can start a new discussion.- especiallly when there are swarms of registrations.
Otherwise this place will get as toxic as the OGF in time. By then it might be too late.

"Toxic" / "toxicity" is a behavior issue.
If someone toxic joins, putting a timer on comments and discussion creation just delays interaction and is not going to change someone's toxic behavior.
At the end of the day, or in time, they're still that same toxic person that joined 3 or 7 days ago
Just my 2 cents.

Fair point
My inclination was more towards users who sign up to spam, or “one hit wonders” who post, release some toxic fumes in a short burst, then hibernate.
Limiting the ability to spew venom might limit toxicity.
In Sustainability, one if the oft repeated mantras is
“Solution to Pollution is dilution”.
Dilute the timeline and pollution becomes less toxic..
In other words,
Delay or limit, not avoid.

If it's for spam (especially bots) then it might be able to help reduce it.
I haven't noticed but do we get spammed a lot here to begin with?
"The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yeah, wouldn't call spamming frequent, but then again, everytime it happens, I think:
I should propose we set every new account to have their first X posts manually approved before being published.
That, combined with an obligatory post in "introductions" section usually reduces the spammers/trolls to the most persistent (the best of the best ). Though it's not 100% spam proof (nothing is nowadays).
But, it's extra hassle for the normal members joining (and for the mods). So, a trade-off, as most other choices.
Again - for now, spam is not very frequent (and when it happens, LESbians flag & report stuff promptly). Especially considering the topic of this forum.

Domains must have been registered for a minimum of 60 days.
I get the reason behind the other rules but what is the reason for this? A week old domain name is just as valid as a 2 month old domain name (in every technical/non-technical aspect). I don't get it.

@Nekki said: If you’re not of legal age to make contractual obligations there is most definitely a problem.
Idk how to view the situation personally. They're the legal age to register a company in the UK, where is the line drawn?
As per the rule, I guess - legal age to form a contract in their own country so we can call Interpol when they steal our money.
IMO If a person is of legal age to register, or be listed as an officer of a company, one can expect that the country in question considers them of legal age to make contractual obligations.
I listed the date the rule went into effect in my above comment as a janitorial duty so that it was clear that only members requesting a hosting provider tag after Dec 1st, 2022 would be effected by that rule.

Hi Riki,
It’s easy to get permission to post an offer! I just need a payment of $200 in Bitcoin and the ability to post offers will be unlocked! PM me for more details.
Rule adjustment under Rules for posting offers: made Jan 30th, 2023 to clear up any ambiguity.
From:
The dedicated server setup fee can be a maximum of 1 month equivalent of server cost, only providers that have been established for 3+ years may charge a setup fee on dedicated servers.
To:
Setup fees are not allowed on any service other than dedicated servers. The dedicated server setup fee can be a maximum of 1 month equivalent of server cost, only providers that have been established for 3+ years may charge a setup fee on dedicated servers.
Temporary provider maximum price and posting limit rule waiver added.
Maximum price and posting limit rules will not apply on February 14th, 2023 (GMT)
EDIT February 15th:
Temporary provider maximum price and posting limit rule waiver removed.
Offers placed on February 14th, 2023 are still valid and do not count toward posting limit rules.
Hosts must state if they require KYC (passport, bill proving address etc.) when selling their products. After paying, customers shouldn't be bombarded, without prior notice, with KYC threat (if not, your service will be suspended).

Maximum price should be recurring?
For Example:

Price: $3/mo for the first 12 months then $11/mo.
Dewlance - Affordable Shared/Reseller.
WHMCS Addon - DemoTiger Video KB - Tutorial Videos for Hosting Providers.
Prices are not required to be recurring. Though, nobody likes non-recurring offers
