A Bug that affected ALL monthly screenshot thread
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61754 says:
(10% of a Full HD setup will still be 192x180, for example)
But 10% of FHD is 192x108!
This rule thread dates back to Dec, 2008. And it seems every monthly screenshot thread copied this rule...

Re: A Bug that affected ALL monthly screenshot thread
Fixed in the current thread. I have no intention of going back through the previous years.

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Extra pixels!

That's fine, but I suggest changing the rule altogether so new threads can avoid this bug.
BTW, I remember yesterday it was you who helped me out in IRC about my problem with xfontsel. Thank you

This feature is going to be remove in the next release of Arch Screenshot 
There is nothing we could do about it. Hope you won't feel sad.

Re: A Bug that affected ALL monthly screenshot thread
It's always bugged me that imgur only creates two types of thumbnails: small square and large rectangle. 
I need to find a new image hosting site.

And thirdly, the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl, Miss Turner
The moderators are (generally) more concerned with the size in bytes rather than the size in pixels. We are concerned about members who may be on slow and/or metered links not getting slammed with large downloads. On the other hand, anyone sifting through an image thread has no reason to carp over the size of the downloads.

Re: A Bug that affected ALL monthly screenshot thread
Nobody mentioned yet, that 192x108 is actually 1% of 1920x1080? Unbelievable!
(192x108=20736=1/100 · 2073600 = 1/100 · 1920 · 1080 = 1% · 1920x1080)
