Any opinions on this: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/361462/… ? It is maybe a duplicate but it is not of-topic.

@rene If it's going to be on-topic, the question could do with some editing to make clearer which part of the site it's actually asking about.

Right now it could just as well be a question for ELL :P

@Tinkeringbell I was looking at this images in the answer: meta.stackexchange.com/a/27201/158100

@rene At this point, I think we're trying to polish a turd ;)

But sure, if they do polish their own turd, closing it as a dupe of that may make sense :)

Welcome to ISSUE #61 of the Overflow! This newsletter is by developers, for developers, written and curated by the Stack Overflow team and Cassidy Williams at Netlify. This week, understanding communication cultures, the lack of inconsistencies in Newton’s universe, and understanding how CPUs handle negative numbers. From the blog Why are video calls so tiring? You might be…

MSE seems to disproportionately attract those single or double-image-only posts by... I dunno, bots? Very astray users? Whatever. Would we prefer R/A or NAA flags on those?

Example (deleted, screenshot)

Others seem to be selfies of the user (or at least I assume they are) and many of them get their profiles nuked after their post is deleted.

Well or a more general confusion over what meta is

the wierd part if if you know enough to care/not care about meta you would know you don't need to submit the post to upload an image

@Spevacus spam flags supposedly delete imgur images

I delete quite a lot of the time

if its something that needs to be gone gone, flag it with a custom flag and we'll see if we can get CM assistance on it

I believe they have an option to directly delete images off se imgur

It's very uncommon that it's something that needs super-destroyed (removed from the hosting service), it's more often that it's just a random image posted for seemingly no reason.

Nothing like... Vulgar. Though there have been a few of those I've seen in the past.

ya, spam//RA flags are fine

yup

Alrighty, cool. Thanks :)

@Spevacus user420 ... what did you do with user001 till user419?

Hah, they must have changed their name. The screenshot shows what it was a few minutes ago.

> It was not possible to perform this tag search at this time due to an unexpected error.

By now that message better reads "It was not possible to perform this tag search at this time due to an expected error." as this is the 6th or 8th time we see that ...
