It just makes them that much more annoying when some asshole randomly puts them in threads.

yeah but that ability generates revenue for the site

under settings you can turn of sounds... not sure what sounds that would relate to (only inbox or all embeds)

Well, I have no problems with embeds themselves. Just when people use the hidden/autostart shit to force everyone to listen to whatever they feel like spamming.

Nevermind hidden. Just disable the embed tag.

my guess is that an action like that would lose a ton of premies. i know i wouldn't be back.

i DO think that there should be short term suspensions if someone embeds more than a handful of songs a day... i embed them, but i avoid hiding them so that people can stop the song. also, i don't just go around embedding songs in every other thread like a couple guys out there.

now if someone would just post the screenshot of how to disable mp3's in IE, we'd all be set and everyone could stop crying to daddy.

that's the downside, i admit. i wish there were some more admins so there would be better responses to suspending people... the way i see it, if someone does something lame *cough* embed-whatever-song-ssjamind-is-drunkenly-rocking-out-to *cough*, i think they should get suspended for a few days to a week. if they continue, just make the time period longer, but have a set amount of time.

Fuck that. I'd say if anyone embeds the same song/flash/whatever in more than 2 threads in X time period, smack them around.

the problem is X is very subjective as to when it is annoying.

on the other hand, sometimes i'd like visible player controls so I can Edit Post and download the songs for myself..

like whoever keeps embedding those Pirates of the Caribbean songs..

^^ you know you could always just open the source and "cntrl+F" to find the song if it's that important to you, right?
