BEWARE! SRS subs are using images in CSS to geolocate and portscan your IP so they can dox you. That's why they're obsessed with CSS-sharing subs like /v/PimpMyCSS (realProtectVoat)

The sidebar of /v/PimpMyCSS reads like the sidebar of this sub, and it's not an accident. SRS wants every mod to copy their CSS and unwittingly leave in their IP-logging images. For example, SRS user pembo stuffs his CSS with images from his own domain, which is registered anonymously so we can't figure out where they're operating from.

This is probably why they ping you from SRS subs and bait you to reply, so they can match up your reply's timestamp with entries in their server access logs.

Yeah IMO Voat should disable CSS by default until external references can be sanitized or whitelisted somehow.

I'd only allow a fixed catalogue of predefined CSS templates, where you can define some of the colors, fonts and background images through a form when selecting the CSS for the sub. Of course downloadable fonts are a no-no and images must come from a trusted image host.

Everyone has their own ideas about which image hosts can be trusted. Just never come here without VPN.
