Safety bump........
Here's some clarifications and modifications to the guidelines. I hope this makes things easier for shopkeepers and customers alike
Images
Images posted on the HPDC need to follow the guidelines.
So a short list - that will be updated from time to time to include anything that may have been missed:
* No personal images (see note below), no personal information on the images
* Properly dressed subjects. We do not need to see, or almost see anyone's assets
* No profanity, languages other than English or other inappropriate text on the images
* No weapons of any sort. Unless it's a wand or the Sword of Gryffindor, it's not allowed.
* No copyrighted or watermarked images - it is also illegal to alter these, so do everyone a favor and don't post them here at all.
* No URLs on images.
* No linking to to other sites (including back to photobucket or imageshack)
* Image hosting accounts must be set to private.
How to post:
<img src="Enter URL here">
Image sizes
There have been many different image sizes thrown out on the site. The mods have considered them all and have decided that the following are the best sizes to go with .
Avatars: 60x60
(picture under your SN)
Thread banners: 250x50 - ALL boards
(Title of thread)
We will no longer have separate thread banner sizes for different areas of the site. We will be going with a universal size.
Topic Banners: 700x150
(Inside of threads)
Signatures: 500x200
Personal Images
'Personal' is not limited to images of you, personally or your friends and family. It also means someone's personal images that have been posted and (foolishly) left for everyone and anyone to view. Yes, this includes random people that you've found on Google.
Play-bys (PBs) should be celebs. And by celeb I mean an actress/actor, musician or model. Scene kids, bloggers and self-proclaimed celebs do not fall under the celeb status and may not be used.
If your play-by is not mainstream, or you would like to know if your PB can be used or not, provide the name so the mods can check it out and verify that they're not personal pics or if they can be used.

I didn't leave a reason on individual posts because I left one general one posted in the thread

Oh okay. A limited amount per thread makes more sense, I just noticed your not stating that you removed them and wasn't sure as to why.
Thanks for clearing that up!

Are you asking because of the ones I removed the other day?
Animated gifs can be used - there were just too many in one thread and some of them were a touch big, so it was slowing the boards down for members with slower connections.
No biggie - we just can't have more than a handful in a single thread, I guess. Personally, I didn't have an issue, but I can understand it bogging the computers of other members.

Why can't there be GIF pictures?
We used to be able to have them before.

I very much enjoyed the signatures - from the shops creating the images, to seeing the images splashed on the page. We had some very, very talented siggy makers here. It's a shame they're all but gone now.

You can add signatures to the bottom of your posts. Unfortunately, there is no longer the option for them to automatically attach to your posts, so they must be added manually each time you want it added.

Seems the auto pruner caught this
Putting this back in the appropriate spot. If anyone else has a recently removed thread, let me know and I will see if I can restore it.
