I know it doesn’t exist anymore, but it’s a perfect example of the community creating and enforcing a rule. The point isn’t that it doesn’t exist anymore, the point is that the community made something up, then proceed to enforce it. That is exactly what is happening here.
I’m just gonna say that arguing about this won’t change anything. you can still say that thumbnails are allowed but the rest of the community will still be against it.
I would say that they techincally are not allowed, however I get new users posting. Seriously though, if you all need a thumbnail, ask for one in one of the other thumbnail request to reduce clogging of the forums.
The only thing to happen is for the staff to either overturn the thumbnail ban, or agree with it. The community has already made up their mind, you’ll notice almost every new thumbnail request is getting flagged. There have been a pretty big group of people who weren’t happy about thumbnail requests, and they finally persuaded most everyone else, so the only thing stopping this is if the gimkit staff decide not to- and I think that if they see that popular opinion has turned against thumbnails, they’ll take advantage of that and just straight up ban them.
the 5 day bump rule should still be followed, the problem is people overreacting like its the end of the world when someone accidentally bumps a post before 5 days
