I am a simple Magazine reader so when I ask "do you
want the
ability" I do not see how forming it as "are you
against the ability" would influence any ones choice.
Question 1: "No" means I don't want it myself but I don't care whether it's implemented or not.
Question 2: "No" means I don't care, "Yes" means I am against implementing this BBcode here.
Does that better explain the difference?
Regarding the downsides to this BBCode I cannot see that any argument regarding pictures are relevant. This BBCode has nothing to do with pictures. People can upload download and implement pictures as much as they want anyway.
The first of your examples shows the point very clearly. And for your second point about screen size: I have a 10" netbook with 1024 screen width. If you send a 1024 wide picture this is ok, but if i want to read a second column besides the picture I have to scroll sideways. Yes, it is a computer, not a smartphone or a tablet!
Besides, looking at the Mandriva forum and here I would say that you like to post large pictures instead of showing just the URL and telling what it is about.
BTW: The width of 1024 is a critical edge on all websites, it is the natural (or native) width of monitors/screens for computers - others below (800 or less) are for mobile devices like smartphones or small tablets.
But ok, I have written my personal position, that's enough. Now ask others,. I am just 1 of many.
