I totally second that.
This newsgroup keeps all images which means that in 6 months I intend to
look at pictures posted here without having to fight through strange
encoding methods just because simple common sens can't be applied here.
1-DON'T post images over 200 kb
2-DON'T cut a picture in several ones. Chances are if you do, you have
problems with the first point ^__^
3-DON'T use exotic format. Xcf is cool but only readable by The GIMP. Jpeg
can be compressed well and there is the possibility of the link to a
beautiful web page where your work can be presented in all its glory.
You don't know how to convert PNG or BMP into JPEG? Just ask! It's always
cool to help someone.

Change because change is needed, not because people have problem using
common sens!
Chances are that if people don't understand posting rules now, Yenc won't
change that. It will just kick out all the people who came to this server to
see pictures and who have something else to do but to run after decoding
pictures.
