Adding pictures to comments

I know I already said this before, but I do believe it would be a fun and also useful idea to be able to add png, jpeg, gifs, etc. to comments. It could help with music production or even if you just wanna send a meme to a friend. I'm sure that there would be some problems at first (like innapropriate pictures, offensive pictures, etc.) but that can be fixed easily. Innapropriate pictures (nudes, etc.) would not be allowed obviously, but offensive pictures could have a blur effect maybe? If tis gets implemented, Im sure you would figure it out right?

It actually would be pretty helpful......... maybe the pictures that are innapropriate could be filtered.... I've heard that there are some filters that can identify what the picture is showing and whether it is safe or not

Not a good idea because uhh... people would add XXX images and plus, how would they know if its a bad image immediately?

Well @peproductions actually had a great idea. Just add a auto/ai scanner or filter.

Allowing images to be posted is a good thing. It does allow for the community to share things such as screenshots, memes, etc. However, NSFW content is possible. You and other people have already talked about the NSFW content part, but there's another thing that you missed. Images can be quite heavy in terms of file size, because each pixel requires 24 bits (3 bytes) to have color, and pictures typically are 100x100 or larger, plus images have metadata (data about the image, such as its name, pixel-size, etc.) making them heavier. Audiotool servers need the space for accounts, tracks, albums, etc. Adding images to every chat will significantly increase the amount of data that the servers would be forced to hold. Honestly, this might end up getting a little expensive for the Audiotool developers. Servers are expensive to get, they are expensive to upkeep, and they consume a lot of power.
