Can we get a way to flag posts? Either to review for removal, or at least to hide them unless you're logged in? If there are enough flags perhaps it gets automatically removed or hidden from sight.</p> <p>As someone else mentioned, hosting adult content (as pixelated as it is) may block acces from school networks.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28275 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28275 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 14:43:52 UTC Post Apocalyptic Prime Time TV <p> <table><tr><td> <a href="/bbs/?pid=33751#p"> <img src="/bbs/thumbs/pico33750.png" style="height:256px"></a> </td><td width=10></td><td valign=top> <a href="/bbs/?pid=33751#p"> Post Apocalyptic Prime Time TV 1.0</a><br><br> by <a href="/bbs/?uid=16869"> EatMoreCheese</a> <br><br><br> <a href="/bbs/?pid=33751#p"> [Click to Play]</a> </td></tr></table> </p> <p>There's nothing on TV in the future.
