In this thread (which didn't really go anywhere), there was a proposal to make a No Image Links Please page, which I agreed with.

I can see where the idea is coming from, since we do have No Video Examples, Please! (a page that disallows videos rather than extra images for tropes, though both happen due to similar reasons like being NSFW), both of which would end up having identical page counts (eight), plus both the Video Examples and Image Links namespace indexes have four pages, suggesting a similar level of popularity. It would also make the PRLC a little shorter, though that page isn't anywhere near overly long territory. Also, some pages disallow Image Links while not being on the PRLC like Teeny Weenie, so it'd be easier to track those (and it wouldn't be redundant with the "no pic ever" or "don't change the pic" lists on Image Pickin' Special Cases, Vomit Chain Reaction is no pic but it does have an Image Links page).

On the other hand, video examples do have to go through mod approval while image links don't (they're mostly reported when problems show up), so maybe they're not that much of an issue (the video examples page should at least help save the mods' time when it's clear that videos won't be uploaded), though maybe it could also help inspire others to bad tropes for image links better. Well, it's just an idea that wasn't mine. What do people think?

I agree with the idea of a "No Image Links, Please" page.

I don't think we need a page for this and the image links section on Permanent Redlink Club works fine enough. Image links and videos do have some similarities but we don't have to worry about people recreating image links pages because we can just lock them. We can't do that with videos and a mod that's not aware of a video being on No Video Examples, Please! can easily approve a video for a trope that's NVEP when they shouldn't have. We don't have to worry about Image Links pages being recreated once they join the PRLC.
