Okay nobody's going to tell him? Fine, I will.

tl;dr: It was pretty damn stupid.

Look, I've been involved in the community for years. I'm not saying that I've been here since the DWANGO days but I've been long enough to know what you should do and what you should NOT do in the Doom community. And over the years I've seen people getting banned in Doomworld, ZDoom, Zandronum and (if it counts) here, but his banning just has to be at the Top 3 for the most pathetic ones I've seen.

So, everyone in the community at one point or another would want to host images to show to everyone else, be it images pointing out bugs, graphic assets, promotional stuff, etc, right?. Some people have their own choice over where they can upload stuff (in this case, pictures) on the internet. And it happens that one of the most logical options if you want to upload stuff is using Imgur (no need for an account, 5mb limit, drag n drop, etc)

This dude, for some reason**, got really really REALLY mad about it, made a thread in the ZDoom forums which was basically him whining about "why would someone recommend Imgur to upload pictures, pls stop that", without giving any actually GOOD reason not to do it.

>The only downsides Imgur may have is that it is indirectly linked with social media and it rewrites the filenames but 1) you're not FORCED to use the social tools, 2) filenames ain't that much of a big deal if you're not looking forward to host pictures on a personal website or something
