Forum:Revised Image Policy

I know this has come up before and now it's time to set it in stone. Under this revised image policy, there will be several rules, and I felt it was better to list them here because of the limited space above.

Under this new policy:
 * 1) Any non-Mass Effect related image will be deleted after the standard waiting period. However, what isn't forbidden are images that are proven to be official concept art. This includes things from magazines, BioWare, or other reliable sources, but they must be sourced at the time it is uploaded. If it's official concept art, then it is fine. If the link falls dead later, then the image is still permitted, as long as it was sourced at the time it was uploaded. An example of this is on Commdor's User Page. The image in question is from a Gameinformer article about Mass Effect 2.
 * 2) No images of Shepard are permitted except for images of the default Commander Shepard for use in prescribed locations. These locations are Shepard's Page only at the top, Armor Pages, and Romance Sections of squadmate articles.
 * 3) Any images that want to be used for display purposes, images of your personal Shepard(s), things related to other games, other personal images, must be uploaded to another site, then linked here. Examples of how to do this are found on JakePT's User Page.
 * 4) If you which to use Mass Effect related images on your user page, then that is permitted. These images may or may not be used in articles, but they are subject to the other rules regarding images. An example of this is found on Lancer1289's User Page.
 * 5) All rules with regard to the current images still apply.

Basically what this will mean is that any personal images not related to Mass Effect must be uploaded to another site, Photobucket for an example, and then linked here. If you wish to display images of your personal Shepard(s), then those again must be uploaded to another site and linked here. All other current policies about images still apply.
