     (...) This is what I meant.. if for whatever reason it's decided that FTX should no longer be allowed in posts, can you at that point - prevent people from including FTX tags?

         Re: Signature Image Abuse —Brian H. Nielsen
      (...) Turn it around - let people turn off FTX in messages they read. Todd's already contemplating a setting to let people choose to filter out images based on size.
