Forum:Personal images and what to do with them

So, apparently personal images are a hot topic on the wiki, witnessed by two different forums, of which one is currently open. But why? Why would you even consider restricting a certain type of personal images? You might say "they are getting out of hand". Well, that's certainly not relevant to the topic of those forums. It's not the "topic" of the image that is the problem. It's the files that are the problem in the "out of hand" argument. Another argument I see in the "destroy all the ponies" thread is that they are not relevant on the cod wiki. That's true, but are personal images supposed to be relevant? No, because relevant images aren't personal images. ^.^.

Let me quote giggle here. "Support — Personal images like these can easily go somewhere else, which I've stated many, many times. --Azuris(talk) 02:10, August 22, 2011 (UTC)". Well why the heck are we banning pony images then? Babysteps? Nuh-uh. That's not the solution.

I am all for hosting personal images on an external site or on another wikia wiki. This is in fact what would be the best solution IMO. Banning a certain type of images is just not the way to go. Just because you hate MLP doesn't mean you should create a policy to ban all images from there. So what now? Options are, I think:


 * 1) Let the policy (or the lack thereof) be as is and keep banning certain types of images be. (senseless to me)
 * 2) Adopt a personal image policy:
 * 3) Limit amount of personal images to  (I personally think three would be good; maybe five).
 * 4) Ban personal images. That Joey nub created a kewl template, so why not use it and host your personal images on imgur or even another wikia wiki.

Any discussion is welcome. I'll ruin your arguments liek a baws. :3 1358  (Talk)  15:29, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
