You have a website, just post them there where those that are interested can see them.

It's not about resources, the admin simply doesn't want that. I believed they already said that in their comments.

Then to be fair everyone including anons should have the right to posting images.

It's not like I'd be sharing porn 🙄 and a little preview of the shared image like the screenshots taken by Admin's bot, wouldn't hurt anyone nor slow anyone.

A link that points to an image host works just fine. Your way forces people to see it.

If you're able to say the screenshots you're providing are "lightweight", loading in every release page cached on AT, I don't think adding one or two more of those would slow anyone. Doesn't have to be the full image that gets embed in the comment section, could be a little teaser like your screenshot, that points to the full thing once clicked (again, like your screenshots). It would do the trick as well.

I come here for the files and the comments. If I wanted to see someone's idea of images I should see I'd go somewhere else.

I'm glad you agree to not embed images on comment section. I like it neat and simple. If I wanted to see anon sharing images on a website, I'd just go to 4chan. not AnimeTosho. Thanks again!

Thank you for trying to help out.
But I think you're being a little unfair. I don't think it's fair to expect a visitor to be privy to the logistics of this website - after all, they're not running it.
Embedding images does sound like a good faith suggestion to me, to address a concern that is solved on various other websites.

Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately I'm not really a fan of embedding. Large images can cause layout issues or take up a lot of area on the page. I also try to keep pages small in size for speed and bandwidth saving reasons, whilst embedding images could greatly increase a user's bandwidth usage. There's also some privacy concerns with embedding.

In some ways, I want to keep the comment system simple and discourage users from treating it like a full blown forum, so keeping the feature set "lightweight" helps in this regard.

You can link to images however, which should largely achieve the same goal, just with the slight inconvenience of users needing to click a link.

For the comments regarding CSAM: I appreciate the warnings/concerns, but I don't see embedded images as being a notable risk here. After all, I'm sure critics will point out there's already ways to get CSAM on here.
Besides, changes aren't set in stone and can be reverted if they become problematic.

Thanks for the info.
I think streaming sites focus more on easy access, and typically simplify things by only having one (or few) version of episodes.
Whereas picking an episode here would still require you to select a release, so I thought emphasizing that would be beneficial. Unfortunately putting additional links, like the page currently does, probably wouldn't work well in a grid layout.

It's amazing how people make suggestions on things that they think would be better for them by having other people spending the money.  Anime Tosho is fine the way it is. Adding pics to the comment section would only make things worse and everybody here knows that.
Maybe you can start up your own site and call it a reflection (a mirror in front of another mirror)

ye

It costs nothing to add a way to EMBED images here, hosted elsewhere (like the BBcode thing I talked about).
As for time, it wouldn't cost a lot either considering the few people that are registered compared to the enormous amount of anons (+ as I said, the ones wanting it would have to request it.. so easily manageable I believe lol)

So you're setting admin up to do a lot more busy work: policing images, assigning rights, paying for more storage.  

It seems like a waste of his time and talents.

I said that Admin would manually grant this possibility to users, it wouldn't be default... so it'd be removable by admin if the user does not behave.

ehh, no? imagine dealing with constant CSAM. This site isn't for that anyway. I'm positive it would bring nothing but trouble for the admin.
