Either way, I've reached out for clarification and will see what staff responds with because it's not as though I'm TRYING to make this any harder for them. I genuinely don't know if that qualifies and I've always included unsourced because I was told multiple times that ANYTHING unsourced is subject to deletion. Not sure if that doesn't apply to old pics or not but again, i asked for clarification on that because timing is not mentioned anywhere on the first page.
Could you give us a link to where it was stated repeatedly that ANYTHING unsourced is subject to deletion?
It was DMs with staff before. Also clearly staff know their own rules and wouldn’t be deleting unsourced pics if it weren’t okay. They also would’ve said this to me sooner. That’s also why I reached out for clarification
Staff is not automatically deleting any unsourced images that come our way. That was never the practice. Nor did I or any other staff member communicate it that way to anyone.
The unsourced material that gets automatically deleted without question is the material that was uploaded after the rules for galleries came into effect. However, older unsourced material is subject to deletion if they break any of the existing gallery rules and is clearly not part of any officially released promo material.
When going through galleries, staff try to add sources to images that are missing them, and we also want to encourage other users to adopt the same practice. An unsourced image will still continue to have a higher risk of being deleted as opposed to the image that does have an actual official source attached to it.
The gallery rules have now been completely updated, and all the old posts that were taken care of have been removed from this thread. The last few posts will also be deleted later when this message reaches you all.
Please go back to the first page, check out the new guidelines, and modify your remaining posts if needed.
