I'm not an MLP fan, but:

Banning is a bit much.
Also, as Issy said, people post pics as responses of many things, not just MLP. I do it all the time using other things. We all do.
And you don't have to watch the show to get the response pictures:

"Mods are asleep, post ponies."
"This needs to be about 20% cooler."

Seriously, they are simple, easy to understand jokes. Most of them are based on existing memes anyway, such as "Deal with it" or "My body is ready". So "only fans get them" is no excuse.

Also, if you are going to tell me that it "de-rails" topics, well...it's usually the haters that de-rail a topic into MLP. Honestly, I see it all the time, and it happens the same way EVERY time.

MLP hater: *talking random silly crap on a topic in S&N*
MLP fan: *posts a random MLP picture/GIF with a funny caption as a response*
MLP hater: "WTF, stop derailing topics with MLP!
MLP fan: "I'm not de-railing anything, I just used a funny pic as response...you do it all the time...
MLP hater: "At least I don't use MLP..."
MLP fan: "And what's wrong with it being MLP?"

....You get where I'm going with this.
So what's the solution?
Quite simple really.

All the haters have to do is take these picture/GIF responses for what they are. They're basically the exact same as the Reggie pics people post, only with MLP. Does anyone go off on a tangent when people post Reggie pics, Spiderman pics, etc? No! So why do it with MLP pics? Just get on with the topic, like you would with other pics. If you wanna hate on MLP, make a topic specifically for that.

Agreed.

We weren't (or at least aren't anymore) considering banning just for posting images.

We were considering suspension for repeated instances of creating MLP topics, for the sake of angering others (Hence the title).

But that isn't always what I've seen being discussed in other places. Just this topic.

And this rule should apply to ANY topic made to anger others. Not just MLP.

Brawler, do me a favor and look at the title of the topic again.

CAV, do me a favour and look at the discussions on the first page again. Also, do me another favour and ignore MLP topics if they annoy you so much.

Brawler, do me a favor, and once again look at the topic title. That is the main discussion. The first page were of people taking it too far. The main suggestion is of topics, not images.

Also do me another favor and note how it's rather hard to ignore something when it's being smashed into your face.

Wait...you guys were serious about the topic thing? Honestly, it's not being smashed in your face. If they were, every topic is. There should be no ban for MLP topics. If there is, then we might as well ban every topic (remember kids, you cannot actually confirm a topic creators intentions, as you cannot read their minds! )

So this topic wasn't created to anger others?

If you actually have a serious thing against Rattler, then it probably was. If you guys are just messin' around (like ye make it out to be), then no, it's not meant to anger anyone.

You guys make me lol so hard.

Pretty much what I thought when I saw this topic. I honestly thought this suggestion was supposed to be a joke.

The topic author didn't help you think otherwise then, did it? xD

Yeah, that didn't help me think otherwise at all!

D52 is sitting right now thinking... Trolololololol no ban hammer for you. Annoyance shouldnt be a suspendable offence, Block list ftw.

I didn't understand a word you said.

I love how dark hasn't said anything even though his input is required.

Not always.

There have been several suggestions that he ignored.

Until he sais

"Yes all threads about ponies will be removed"
or
"No, pony topics are ok"

we're completely in the dark here.

I agree with this topic. I love MLP, but seeing all of these topics about it are getting annoying. As a fan, I admit that the fanbase is really terrible. I'm not one of those fans that keep posting pony topics everywhere just to annoy everyone. I mean, if they want to talk about MLP, there's a thread for it over at Idle Chatter. Heck, there's forums dedicated to MLP, so they should discuss it either at those sites other than here.

And yes, I'm aware of this. After I was banned, I still lurk around here just to check on updates for Skylanders. This is before I made me a second account.

No we aren't.

If he ignores a suggestion topic, it often means that there is absolutely no reason to respond to it since the answer is very clear (usually "no").

I agree.
I'm also not one of those fans who posts pony topics to annoy others.

I agree. Like, ALOT.

Posting a bunch of those images doesn't make anything better.

^ Agreed.

To be honest, being a MLP 'fan' myself, I do have to bang my head at the fandom's attitude sometimes.

I mean, the only reason bronies try to garner this much attention is that they're males who know that MLP is for girls and thus try to make it a habit of saying how special they are since they like a girls' show. Ironically, most of the bronies I see don't really expect girls to watch the show, too. How funny.

But it's a fad. Liking the fad does NOT make you cool. Hating the fad and wishing it dead does NOT make you cool. All fads die off at a point. Which comes to the point that banning is a really bad offence for fads. I mean, you don't just outright BAN planking just because it's popular.

On the flip side, I'm loling at you guys right now.

Can't we just burn the technicolor freaks and be done with it? I can get the kerosene.

Both haters and extreme lovers are pretty hilarious to laugh at; I agree.

Negative attitudes between fans is common. No fandom is perfect after all.

I know this is a tiny bit late, but:

I'm honestly not sure who's worse now: The haters or the fanbrats.

Actually, they're both just as bad.

The worse the fanbase is, the worse the haters will be. The fanbase has brought this crap on themselves.
Cynder and the MLP fandoms are wonderful examples.

MLP is a good show but these topics usually go way outta hand.

Excesses have always been bad.
The series is not bad. But the danger is that many people take it very seriously or add more things that are not that. Just to say stupid things.
Fame is ephemeral. It has always been so. There are many known things that last, but that something is eternal famous, no.

Omg!I love the zebra like one with the gold thing around her neck!SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!Wow,they are like,just by their faces,like,move,man!I'm squished!Man,you are fat!*Trying to squeeze throuyght*Yup,I feared this.You choke out a help.I'm stuck...

Making topics of any franchise just for the sake of angering others multiple times should be an offense. Making My Little Pony topics for angering others shouldn't be an offense; that's overly specific. Not everyone hates or loves a certain thing, so doing that would be extremely bias.

By the time this was made, there were far too many pony topics and pony crap anywhere BUT the original thread. Which is why it's directed ONLY at MLP.

^All right, I get it.

HUH...

Just do what I do. To say I like MLP and no more.
Do not brag to the topic or posting made **************in extreme amounts. And making things that are not in the series. Leave it to the experts.
Well, whoever wants to do, do not force anyone.

Lol,true dat.
