Are They Getting Sillier?

Don't even get me started. I have flagged so many of those that this one is pretty tame. When you use pics of people being disabled, you've kind of went over the line.
Flagged so many of what? What did I miss?
Behinds the scenes by me. I've done quite a few where the pic is actually offensively linked to the topic at hand. They get pulled quickly, but it has been awhile now.
-
I don't recell having noticed any of those yet. I don't tend to see many of them, though, as the screens that I use are the ones that don't show the pictures.

They hired a new guy to do just the photos and featured threads, and he isn't very good at it.

It might be silly, but that ram pic made me giggle. It would be nice if they didn't go into the actually offensive realm, however.

@Dominica The ram one was good.

Is it just me or is Spiceworks getting sillier in their stock photos for threads? They started off pretty business and serious, but I've gotten the feeling that the policies have changed and they are getting to use the pics to make jokes more and more often.
It's a play on words. I have to admit, I would have used the same. Or maybe a RAM pickup truck. Geeks git it.
^see what I did there

Tries, but fails at times. There was a pic that was pulled a week or two ago that was a poor choice for a thread about disabled users.

I used to think the photos were auto done by a script. since they just seem to be some of the first images that would come up if you used google images with keywords from the post, and they just embedded a source url. I'm just waiting for someone to sue them for mis-use of images since I doubt the get permission and just link to it with credit hoping it's okay.

Thanks for the laugh but seriously RAM & SQL
I thought it was @RAM. -
I want to go back to the days before there were even featured threads and you just saw your feed. That was so much less clunky.

Yes, I liked that way, way more. The featured thing doesn't make a lot of sense given the format. It makes more sense if this was a magazine.

That part basically is a magazine, it is part of the marketing strategy I am sure.
Nothing wrong with that really because without marketing the platform concept won't work. They have to be the centralized marketing point for the SMB IT. If they are not, then the whole SMB IT as a group concept will fail.
