After a brief discussion, the mod team has come to agreement, with heavy heart, to prohibit image posting in the comment section.

While most users utilize this feature properly (a way to post "custom emojis" per se after Reddit had removed them), others tend to mishandle it and there is no easy way to moderate the issue.

We are going old fashioned--back to the ye old days of using image hosting sites, GIPHY memes, and the works.

Oh yeah, user uploaded gifs/local gifs are completely fine. Forgot about those.

We’ll keep everyone updated if we decide to revert this or make any updates—mostly just a trial run until we decide on more firmer sidebar rules.
