Ban auto-playing StandAlone Players

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Say yes if these annoying pieces of shit have ever blasted you in the face.


I don't have a problem with the ones that don't automatically play, but the ones that BLAST as soon as you touch the page.... aw hell nah.


I would have to kill something if there were two on the page at the same time.

Ya know, ye're right.

Embedding videos is GRATE, but you should have to CLICK on 'em for them to start playing.

Opening a thread just to see what it's about and automatically have a video open is... well... spam...

Cheers! :bottle:

Videos too, now that you mention it.

But the music is most annoying because it is LOUD.

These players are often in people's signatures, but people with sense turn off the "auto play".

I agree with Merry with this one.
Especially at work; can draw undue attention from co-workers.

guys, this is why you keep the volume low or off. Esp at work.

Noticed one of these the other day, pretty annoying - I browse while listening to music, having more blasted over the top is annoying.

Its easy enough to take them off autoplay.

I can't believe this came from the guy who had a blinking gif in his sig.
that was more annoying

He carries his laptop with him to Taco Bell. Has to stay up to date on all of the Harry Potter updates, especially with the new book coming out soon.

Defeating that, there's always a message board somewhere that needs some Branigan love...

So many message boards to join...so little time...

If I was betting, I reckon Steve would have a pretty decent job actaully.


I'd say that Steve worked in Human Resources, something that required that kind of temprement.

Who'd he steal the laptop from?

I want to be a grammar Nazi.

[Cato]

huh?
so, how do you think of a blinking gif that you had before?
I heard someone from the mod room asked you to remove it. is it true?

btw, I don't care that I'm poor at English at all.
and hey, at least I'm much more important than you here.

please leave or die.

[Cato]

you seems to be too stupid for your age. are you really 35?

[Cato]

I got a question. besides speaking English, what can you do?
