Whitelisted image hosts

[+Karl]

Hello everyone,

 

Due to an increase in certain users trying to grab peoples' IP addresses without that persons knowledge, I've made a change to the way in which the forums handle images. From this point onwards, the only images which can be included in a post/thread on Pure Warfare must be on our whitelist.

 

We've always tried to make sure that your personal information is secure and remains secure, but there's always someone that's willing to try and gain that information by any means necessary. In order to prevent such things happening the following hosts are the only ones allowed to be used on Pure Warfare.

 

pure-warfare.com
imgur.com
tinypic.com
imageshack.us
photobucket.com
deviantart.com
puu.sh
runescape.com
jagex.com
google.com
facebook.com
flickr.com

 

If you know of a host which should be on this list, please don't hesitate to reply and suggest it.

 

Regards,

Karl

> A whitelist is a list or register of entities that, for one reason or another, are being provided a particular privilege, service, mobility, access or recognition.

 

By definition, any other image hosts aside from those listed will be blacklisted and your images won't show :)))))))))) Make sure you update your signatures.

I tried posting a topic with a mix of imgur and imageshack links, gave me an error.

I changed all the links to imgur, and still didn't work, and then did the same w/ imageshack, and still didn't work.

 

Sorry, but your post contains an image which is not hosted on a whitelisted image host.

Karl will iron out any bugs in due course. We should provably add twitpic to the whitelist too.

After a bit more testing I believe each of them on the whitelist should now function correctly. If you find any issues, let me know!
