Hey guys. I'm noticing an alarming amount of new images that violate our image policies. This leads me to believe that most of you haven't bothered to read/don't care about the new policies. So, this thread is going to be a short refresher.

Images you should NOT upload:

 * Images with letterboxing (Black or white "bars" around the image) Images with letterboxing look sloppy.
 * Fan art. (This isn't a fanon wiki)
 * Images with watermarks from other sites. This should be self explanatory. It's theft to take images from other sites without their permission.
 * Images that are cropped from the full episode still. Seriously, why are you cropping images anyway? ;)
 * Images we already have. There's no need for duplicates, they just take up space.

What you should do with the images you upload:

 * Put them in the "Images" category.
 * Putting them EVERYWHERE they belong. This means they should be in the gallery for the episode, as well as the gallery for EVERY character who appears in it. There's a ridiculous amount of people uploading images and just putting them in one place. Are that many people seriously that lazy?
 * Give them a name that follows our naming standard. For example, all photos should be episode stills. They should be named this way: S#E##description.png". The S# gives the season, and the E# gives the episode number. It makes the images easier to work with.
 * I am AWARE that most of the images aren't named this way. I'm still slowly getting rid of bad/duplicate images, and eventually, everything will be named this way. It's easier on me if you just name your images this way to start with.
 * Keep galleries in chronological order. I also feel that this is self explanatory.
 * I know that most galleries aren't this way yet, either. We have so many images and so many duplicates that it's going to take a while to sort everything.

Please, if you can't follow our simple, common sense policies, don't upload any images.
