picspamming, and its aftermath

[brightrosefox]

metaquotes got hit today by a troll posting truly horrific, disgusting, violent, and awful images. After a mod scrambled to delete all the posts and ban the two users (who may have been the same person), I decided to indulge in some healthy paranoia and do a pre-emptive ban strike on the usernames for my own community, womenofthemoon. I also went a step further to protect my own eyes and brain, going to Viewing Options and setting image placeholders, just in case it happens again.
So, to anyone on my friends list who moderates a community, here's a little warning.
(Unless, of course, you really do want to see photos of severed human and animal body parts, crudely positioned genitalia, and squicky porn.)
