I don't know whether this is useful to you or not: NodeBB New User Approval.
It would prevent those one-shot users from posting.
With a little tweaking you could move an approved user back into the unapproved group temporarily to make their posts require approval.

@Lithium said in The Shame Game:

The average IQ is around 100. People as a whole /cannot/ think objectively, they don't have the capability or the desire to.

The median IQ is 100 and it will always be ~100 because IQ tests are normalized every few years.

Sometimes gifs are necessary because there are very important ideas that one wishes to communicate that are difficult to put into words.
For example...

Dirty Dancing

For example this is what he posted for session 3 from our chat:

Advice, dear readers?

Damn it Jim! I'm a dwarven warrior, not a mathematician!

Meow!

First woman to win a medal in 6 straight Olympics.
Only Olympian to win a medal on 5 different continents.

Fidel Castro... finally.

It's hard to pick an all time favorite, but our current favorite is 'Puerto Rico'.

At the time I was obsessed with simulations and my "Lambert's laws" reflect that.

Dr. Cat's "Attention is the currency of the future" was probably the most prescient when you realize social media was virtually nonexistent at the time. Most of today's popular online games interface with social media.

@surreality If you use Firefox and GreaseMonkey then you can use this script:

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name        remove gifs
  // @namespace   musoapbox
  // @include     http://musoapbox.net
  // @version     1
  // @grant       none
  // ==/UserScript==
  var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
  for (var n = images.length; n--> 0;) {
    var img = images[n];
    img.setAttribute("src", "");
  }

The downside is it doesn't stop the images from being downloaded, just from being displayed.

She's back and badder than ever...
Look what you made me do

@arkandel said in White Wolf CEO steps down.:

@magee101 Announcements are for the forum. And I don't know, it didn't clearly seem to belong anywhere really. I thought to just put it in as a random link at first.

You ought to have an "Other Games" forum for posts on video games, tabletop rpgs, wargames, board games, etc. Posts discussing them can be found all over the place.

@moonman said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

That reboots/rehashes + diversity casting = the vast majority of the film industry in 2017+1. Come up with some new shit, and just so you know, pandering to progressives by filling your umpteenth overproduced reboot with womyn and non-whites just doesn't qualify.

I really enjoyed 'Dunkirk' and 'Darkest Hour'. rehash?
And 'Blade Runner 2049' was close to awesome. reboot?
Curiously the audience for these movies was 90+% male, which shows they're still making movies for me.

Being prescribed several types of insulin by a new endocrinologist. The pharmacy calling and telling me after insurance the cost will be $757 for a months supply. After a long pause with some minor chest pain, I told them not to fill it. Now I've got decent insurance and being a diabetic for 10+ years I've seen the cost go from $90 to $200 a month in the last 5 years for pens.
Anyway I went another doctor and asked for second opinion. He prescribed me a similar but different types of insulin N and insulin R. After insurance these are $50 each or $100 a month. And he told me if I don't use insurance I can get insulin R for $25 each. I seems WalMart is buying this insulin in bulk from a European manufacturer, so they're not evil. I just post this if anyone finds it useful.
Why the hell is American insulin being sold at 700% higher than it was 10 years ago?!!
Supply and demand...mmm.. I want to know.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

My SO and I were invited to a dinner with a group of these UFO investigators (including my friend). They wanted to BBQ some food and talk about maybe doing some ghost hunting. They said it was about ghost hunting.

You left out the most important part. How was the BBQ?
