1. This should have been added a long time ago. This is the best way to get pedos like Jeffrey off the website and it baffles me that they still don’t have a button on the user profile page for this in 2025 while the user report page is difficult to find.
2. They’ll never IP ban anyone, if they do, they lose revenue from advertising to bot accounts and people who make new accounts after being banned.
3. I believe the reason initially given for not doing this was to prevent people from using pfps that can give epileptic seizures (which doesn’t happen). I’m pretty sure the real reason is they know how racist and edgy their main user base is. Obviously having a bunch of people running around with Nazi and Confederate flags or images for pfps (even for jokes) is not a good look. With their custom pfps, they have some plausible deniability and it limits what users can do.
5. No other website does this, why would this be a feature when you can just make the image nsfw or delete any comment that breaks the stream rules or TOS? You don’t need to overcomplicate stuff for no reason.
9. They've already shown they’re willing to take away existing free features and turn them into payed features. For example, you used to be able to add multiple images in a gif for free, now thats a pro only option. Not happening until the sun explodes basically.
