Memes, GIFs and Spoilers - A simple courtesy

[csarmi]

Dear fellow maffia playerz.

 

Memes are fun.

 

GIFs are le sux but I understand alot of players do enjoy them.

 

---

However. Unfortunately, most of them are just not optimized for size at all. I saw several of them with size over 3 megabytes.

 

Not sure about you guys. I'm pretty sure it's not a problem for several of you, but in Hungary, we got a guaranteed net speed of a couple of megabits only on our 3G. It's usually much slower, actually, not to mention the fact that data plans that give you GB-range monthly net quota are expensive.

 

Before this whole GIF and meme period came, I had no trouble playing at all from my phone, but since that happened, I had to buy an exra 1GB of 3G and even that doesn't help when you get several GIF's on page cause the pages just take seconds to minutes to load if they ever do.

 

TL;DR

 

Please spoiler your GIFs. They hurt the mobile users.

I was under the impression that your phone still loaded the images even if they are spoilered........?

[csarmi]

I don't think it does, Verb.

It has to be tested, but experience says it doesn't.

One gif isn't so bad...but yeah, multiple pages of nothing but gifs is too much.  Mafia should be fun, not something that becomes unplayable.

 

 

TL;DR:  I agree

 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

I can vouch for that.

 

my iPad slows and stops from too many gifs or big images but loads spoilered ones same as plain text.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

oh but it only does that on the mobile plan, the 3G. when I'm home on the cable to wireless router it's not an issue.

Done too much and it starts to become unplayable.

spoilering something increases the chance of it's being clicked on by 500%
