Should we make hotlinking a bannable offense?

I doubt this is any screen name of my boyfriend's... so I'm a little ticked off that #1... you're hotlinking... and #2 claiming that my photo is your's.

Delete your post, or give me a good reason why you did this.

Hahahaha, this is legendary. Go Pom~

Also, if you want to host a site, at least know how to disable hotlinking.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yea, I guess professional web designers have no clue how to set up a filter when it comes to hotlinking. You know, allow sites to hotlink, while the rest gets denied?

Then again, I'm not a professional web designer, what do I know?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My point was - most webmasters don't really care about hotlinking. If they do - they should just disable it. It's an easy procedure, really.

So no - don't ban people just because they hotlink.

Hell, spent some time banning people for trolling, that's something GFF needs.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

.htaccess? Don't these hosts come with CPanel or something that makes it a matter of seconds to set it up?
