If for some reason one feels a picture is necessary in RP I believe that it would be optimal for them to link to the image as opposed to using [img] brackets.

The above is frankly an absurdly large letterhead that actually consists of two images as opposed to one. It's obnoxiously large to the point where it needs to be spoilered. However, would anyone really have an issue if he did something akin to this?

Also, obscenely large images, you say?
I accept your challenge!

The question is, does the Tsar's full title take up more room than the message? For short communiques, His Majesty may wish to use the short form of his title.

I of course (since I was cited for this SPECIFICALLY) think that it's always fun to design a communique that acts like an "envelope" to the outward letter, which follows the communique seal.
I've had to shrink it now (because I figured that is what this complaint by poor mods is about.) But let me perhaps clarify what the point of the pictures I use for example in RP, and why the "Spoilering" of these pictures are inconvenient and generally unnecessary. When you're doing an RP, it's one part writing and another part immersion otherwise the suspending of disbelief is broken. A huge wall of text describing a location, can be completely demoralizing when a picture alone is worth a thousand words. I could create an example of such, but there's nothing more irritating than spoiler-ed images when you're trying to avoid demoralizing giant wall-o-text. It's part of why we space things apart and break them up when we write. There is of course, more effective imagery one can use, but spoilering imagery isn't necessarily the way to go as it suspends disbelief!
