vBulletin tags in reputation

[Pyritie]

It seems like people have recently figured out how to insert a flash object into peoples' reputation.

I am among those who is now afflicted.

Can flash objects be disabled in rep?

Agreed.
I still appreciate the rep, firelord213.
But the image is kinda huge...

I think all vB codes except for fonts, bold, underline, etc. should be disabled in reputation. Either that or just omit the [flash] and put a limit on picture sizes.

Either that or enable a play button with the [flash] commands.

[rainbow]Yes, rainbow is certainly uber. Gotta love it.[/rainbow]

Anyways, flash is ok, as long as it isn't autoplaying annoyingness, I guess.

From time to time users will often abuse the privilege of posting vBulletin tags in users' reputation records (especially image file links that horizontally stretch one's profile page).

If anyone feels that their reputation record has been spammed by vBulletin tags that corrupt or disrupt their profile, they should post in the Admin Contact forum to request that the administration resolve the issue.

What makes reputation special? Posting huge images in forums can be annoying too.
Especially if there are a bunch of big images, and I have to scroll way down in order to scroll over.

It's annoying to have things like these playing when you are on your user CP.

Hah! Next time you rep me stick the Badger thing in it XD

I like it, you can leave pictures of how you feel and stuff like that...

I don't mind pictures or small animations, but sound is really annoying. Unless it is initially off.

 

[Wolverabid]

Due to abuse by *certain users* the VBulletin [FLASH] tags have been disabled by our webmaster.

The administration would like to thank those few who have spoiled things for our entire community.

In rep? Or everywhere?

Edit: I answered that myself.
Is there no way to do it in rep alone? Does it have to be an overall ban? Or was it abused in forums as well as rep?

 

[Samuraid]

It was abused a few times in the forums.

I don't know why Flash is expected to be more trustworthy than anything else on the web.

[Kaitech[SanD]]

Aww man... How I loved listening to badger badger everytime I went into my thread in SE...

Ah well...

May I add... Can't you just disable them in the main forums so we can still have them in Something Else?

EDIT2: Also, can I have a link to that massive list with all the vB tags in it?

 

[Instant Ramen]

There should be a "Display Flash in reputation" on your profile.

 

[Firelord213]

So true............

 

[TheDivineBoss]

If you got a big picture in your rep, just right click it and block it. Saves space.

I dont mind reppictures or flash if it just doesn't get annoying like Frostwhisper did with his Waste Dump screenshot. :/

Let's add the cropper and flash blocker in it, folks!
