Some of those are pretty good, some not so much...I'll have to come back to this.
Most of them are fine. Not anything I'd add, but mostly Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
However, Ho Yay has to go. It's encouraging misuse, because that's clearly not accidental. That's intentional on the author's part, which is part of the ridiculous misuse of Ho Yay.
Gem Heart is also bad. Just... bad. It's a picture of a gem and then words that don't even necessarily tie it into the trope.
MuggingTheMonster.Web Comics is just confusing. I have no idea what's happening there.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Yeah, those ones are pretty weak. With Gem Heart, the text on the side is slightly cut off, and with Mugging The Monster, you've just got a JAFAAC with the only context coming from the caption.

"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy."Ho Yay definitely has to go. It's been frequently confused over with Homoerotic Subtext, and the image is encouraging the misuse.
That aside, I think the DisproportionateRetribution.Web Comics is the worst of the lot. That is just a face and lots of barely legible text.

I'll see if we can call ~Sorantheman's attention to this.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHi there. Heard your opinions and I have to say that I agree with most of what you had to say. I guess I should have found some better images for most of the pages that I added Heart Core pictures for. If you guys have any suggestions for more fitting images for the pages wher I added these pictures, then I would like to hear them. I'm open for any suggetions.
I also would like to appoligise for any trouble that I may have caused by posting the images. Please know that it was never my intention to create any difficulites or problems on the site.

You didn't cause problems; imageless pages are, indeed, usually considered a free grab (Trope-tan knows, I've done so myself once or twice), although the picture need to be a good one. So, it's often preferable to instead open a thread with a suggestion if you're unsure the picture will stick. That's why I've opened the thread pointing solely to the one I felt needed improvement, and mentioned the others as an aside.
When it comes to the pic I added for HoYay.Web Comics, then we should probably change it to something better. I missunderstood how the trope was supposed to be used by the time I uploaded it.
Also, when it comes to Gem Heart, we could probably find a better pic there as well. I tried to find a picture from Heart Core where the item in question was torn out of a living creature, but I could sadly not find a properly editable image where that happens, wich is why I settled for simply showing the item itself.
Clock is set.
Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No action is to be taken based on this thread.

I'm starting this thread to signal a recent trend: several image-less pages have been recently added pictures coming from the same webcomic (Heartcore) and all by the same troper (Sorantheman), apparently.
HoYay.Web Comics is, IMO, the weakest of the lot. The others, well, they're at least illustrating the concerned tropes. YMMV whether they're satisfying or not, here's a quick list:
Now, I'm not saying it is wrong for a troper to promote a specific work, and image-less pages are usually considered a free grab, but since there's a risk of Fan Myopia involved, it was worth bringing attention to it.
