Photo Upload Rules + Report Thread

Xiang83:

I think it's creepy to me because before anyone is allowed to understand what is happening as the recipient, there's multiple comments seemingly aimed at me in a specific order. And here's the chronology within less than 30 minutes:

They did their due diligence, though. They commented on your photo, sent you a DM to make you aware of the guidelines, and then brought the photos here for deletion. They also posted in the title's comments section to remind other users of the rules.

Personally, I don't see anything inherently creepy or inappropriate about this approach. If I noticed that a user was uploading photos that appeared to violate the guidelines, I would also consider contacting them to explain the rules before taking further action. The message you shared was a reminder of the existing guidelines, along with a link to them. I don't see anything wrong with that.

This is a community-based site, and while staff are responsible for enforcing the rules, users can also help each other understand and follow them. Staff have limited time and cannot monitor every title and every photo themselves, so community members bringing potential violations to our attention is helpful.

Regarding Fangs of Fortune, I understand your concern about the number of photos on that page, especially if you believe many of them violate the gallery rules. However, that is a separate issue from the photos being discussed here. We cannot expect an individual user to monitor every title or report every violation across the site; they are allowed to focus on the titles they follow and contribute where they can.

If the Fangs of Fortune gallery needs another cleanup, please bring it to our attention here so we can review it and remove any photos that do not comply with the guidelines. The same rules apply across all drama pages, regardless of how many images they currently have.

@Kokuto has posted on multiple C-drama pages in a very different manner, and I'm definitely onboard with their approach :)

I'm glad the clarification helped you understand the guidelines and that the images have now been removed.

However, I do want to address some of your comments about the user who contacted you. The DM you shared was a reminder of the existing photo guidelines, accompanied by a link to the rules. While the wording was direct, I don't see anything inherently inappropriate about informing another user that certain photos aren't allowed and pointing them toward the relevant guidelines.

Users are allowed to help bring the rules to others' attention, just as staff do. We cannot monitor every title and every image ourselves, and community members who take the time to report potential violations or remind others of the guidelines are helping us. They should not have to justify their actions by demonstrating that they've reported every other violation across the site, nor should their account age or activity level be treated as grounds for suspicion.

I understand that you found the sequence of comments uncomfortable, but I think it's important to distinguish between feeling uncomfortable with someone's approach and that person actually doing something wrong. The messages you've shared do not, in themselves, establish that you were being deliberately targeted. Similarly, describing the user's approach as targeted and suggesting they need to change it is a serious criticism to make without clear evidence of that intention.

You have every right to ask questions about the guidelines, and we're happy to clarify them when something is unclear. However, these guidelines have also been addressed in this thread previously, so I would encourage you to refer to the existing explanations alongside asking for further clarification where needed.

As for Fangs of Fortune, if you believe its gallery contains a large number of photos that violate the rules, please raise that separately so we can review it. The number of images on another drama page does not determine whether the photos discussed here are allowed, and one user's efforts to bring violations to our attention on a particular title should not be judged by whether they do the same across every other title.

We appreciate users helping each other understand and follow the guidelines. That also means allowing people to raise concerns about potential violations without automatically interpreting their efforts as personal targeting. The same rules apply to everyone, and we should be able to discuss and enforce them without turning a reminder of the guidelines into a personal dispute.

Xiang83:

It feels targeted, because the overall chronology and contents posted gives an overall impression

You're entitled to prefer a gentler approach when someone contacts you about a potential violation, and there's nothing wrong with expressing that preference. However, your preferred wording and the number of messages you consider appropriate are not requirements that other users must follow.

Users do not need to be moderators to remind others of the published guidelines or report photos that appear to violate them. Nor are they required to use a particular script when doing so. The message you shared was direct, but it explained the rules and provided a link to the relevant guidelines. I don't see sufficient grounds to conclude that the user was deliberately targeting you simply because they contacted you in more than one place.

I also think it's important to distinguish between a message being firmer than you would have preferred and it being inappropriate. You may have interpreted the final comment as a personal insinuation, but that interpretation alone does not establish that it was intended that way.

The purpose of the guidelines is to ensure that everyone follows the same rules, and community members who help bring potential violations to our attention are contributing to that effort. We should be careful not to discourage that participation by assuming bad intentions without clear evidence.

The photo rules have now been clarified, and the images have been removed. I believe we should keep the discussion focused on the guidelines themselves rather than continuing to speculate about the intentions of a user who brought a potential violation to our attention.

REMOVED. Note that some of the pics where the cast is just posing are allowed since they were uploaded by the production/network and they have the show's and network's watermarks on the originals.

Can I get some examples of photos of this allowed rule picture?

If these were uploaded by the actors or their studios, and didn't have the show's watermarks in the original versions, they would not be allowed.
