Forum:CT Archive/A Modest Proposal

Lately the wiki has, unfortunately, had a rather large influx of uploaded images of a subpar quality. Usually these are resubmissions of previously-posted images that feature as their distinguishing characteristic a marked increase in resolution, yet at the expense of a proportional decrease in overall quality. Symptoms of these up-sized images include excessive artifacts, pixelation, and fuzziness or lack of proper FSAA. As a solution, I would like to make the following proposal:

Image Quality Control rule
Rule: Consistent uploading, or re-uploading of images with poor quality and/or unsourced, improperly-tagged, etc. shall be grounds for sanctions. Judgment to be rendered by Administrator(s) on duty.
 * First offense: Warning per Wookieepedia warning policies.
 * Second offense: One-day block from editing the wiki.
 * Subsequent offenses: Increasing block time up to and including permanent banishment.

Voting
Support
 * 1) The need for some sort of policy on this speaks for itself - some of these images are just baaaaaad.-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 04:38, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
