If you have been waiting for an approval of an image for your image gallery only to have it suddenly rejected and you don't know why, I am hoping I can shed some light on that for you.
First and foremost read the IMAGE GALLERY GUIDELINE THREAD. It's long and there are a crap load of rules, I know. But if you have a question it is most likely in there. There is also and IMAGE GALLERY QUESTION THREAD to get answers that the FAQ does not cover.
Despite this, I am seeing a lot of pics in the queue that I am having to reject. Which I know is upsetting to the ppl submitting them.
I know that all good things on the ASMB come with tons of rules and guidelines to remember. I'm hoping we can all figure this out together so that we can enjoy this little bit of freedom (with conditions) that we have been given.
SO LISTEN UP!
TIPS TO NOT GET YOUR IMAGE REJECTED:
- Only submit images that [as] owns, from shows that [as] owns, or images that you own (sorry, Ellen page)
- Images for icons are to be no larger that 80x80/8kb and other images no larger than 300kb with a ttl storage of 100 images.
- Label images with appropriate description in the image file name. (not your screen name)
- For show icons: provide show, character name, and episode number
- If the show image is not from a specific episode, give as much pertinent info as seems reasonable: show, character, description (wallpaper, promo bump, etc.)
- If it is an [as] game image, let us know. Or a bump image. etc. Label accordingly so we know how the image relates to [as].
- If you own the image, please provide as much description as necessary to let us know. For example ("picItookofmydog.jpg" or "myfanartfromNaruto.png" or "myphotoshoppedimageofyourmomsbutt.gif")
This covers most of the rejections I have seen so far. There hasn't been as much of an issue with content. Please keep in mind that there are A LOT of images always waiting to be approved, so mods do not have time to consider each one for very long. A good description may insure that your image is approved and there may be nothing wrong with your image other than a faulty label. So please label correctly.
I have PMed some ppl with questions about their images, but that will not continue as time really does not permit that as a realistic endeavor.
Good luck.
Addendum:
The primary reason for rejection is image names. Please folow these guilines frome the IMAGE FAQ that is linked above to name your pics:
Naming Images when Uploading
- Name your image something descriptive. Use spaces between words.
- If the image is something you drew or took a picture of include that in the title so we'll know it's yours. If it's ambiguous we won't accept images that are drawn or photos that don't say they were done by you.
- If you drew it put this text in the title (drawn by *username*)
- If you took the photo put this text in the title (photo by *username*)
- If it's an image of a person, include that in the title.
- Take of the .jpg or .png or .gif at the end of the title.
- No meaningless numbers or characters.
- If it's from an AS show, give the character name, episode number, show etc.
- If these aren't followed your image will be rejected.
- If you upload fanart from any property, such as a movie, cartoon, tv show, comic, etc, include the full source. Character and show, so we can research it easier. (updated 2/17/11)
