Cleanup: Moments Images Thread (New crowner 23 October 2025):

Go To

HI! If an automated Image Pickin' thread-related PM for a page you are following sent you here, that means the image is being considered for removal. If you would like to vote for/against it, please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines then scroll down to the crowner.

Heartwarming Moments, Funny Moments, Moment of Awesome, Awesome Music, Tear Jerker, and Nightmare Fuel subpages tend to attract low-quality and unillustrative images that don't evoke the emotions they should, even if the scenes are examples in context. While it is very easy to pull them, the Image Pickin' forum has trouble finding replacements most of the time, leaving most of these threads to close due to inactivity and take up room while doing so.

In order to free up slots, this thread is designed to handle moments subpages with a single bad image.

This thread is not for:

  • Start a thread in the following cases
    • Removing an image because you already have an alternative suggestion on hand
    • Removing an image that was kept on the page by a previous Moments Images crowner.
    • Moments page images that are duplicated somewhere else
    • Moments pages with multiple images
    • Pages that are on Image Pickin' Special Cases (assuming their status allows it)
  • Images on Moments pages for unreleased works aren't permitted. If you see one, simply pull it, add the IP comment later in this post, and post in the thread to say it's been removed. It doesn't need discussion or a crowner.
  • Images that you personally don't find funny/sad/heartwarming/awesome/scary, or can't fully glean the context of, but still have some visual element of the Moment they're supposed to evoke (for example, a messy explosion might still be worth keeping on an Awesome/ page even if you don't understand what's exploding, because of Stuff Blowing Up). Remember that these are YMMV items.
  • If the only problem is that it's low-quality, try the quality upgrade thread first. Per the admins, being below the 800px size guideline is not on its own a reason to pull an image.
  • If the problem is that the on-page examples are bad, please see the Moments cleanup thread and the specific Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.


How it works

  1. First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: is there an Image Pickin' comment? Maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for this image, or it's already been included in a previous Moments cleanup crowner. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
  2. Link the page with the image you want examined. Please explain why you think it is a bad image (e.g. JAFAAC, "more funny than scary"). Posts without such reasoning will not be entertained. (You can use the Image Pickin' thread guidelines for reasoning help.) If suggesting multiple pages in a single post, please put them in a bulleted list to ensure that each entry can stand on its own and that they won't be missed when the crowner is made.
  3. Similar to the Image Suggestion thread, a crowner will be run containing the proposed pulls. Each crowner will run about 15 items at a time and last for 5 days. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
    • After 24 hours, anything with votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
    • After 3 days, anything with votes at +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
    • After 5 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.

If a page gets its own Image Pickin' thread while it's on an active Moments crowner, that item will be withdrawn from the crowner.

Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").

If you think of a replacement image after an image has been pulled, you can use the Image Suggestion thread or start a new thread for a replacement.

Some aircraft is being cut by a sword. It is awesome, but requires zoom in a bit much to see.

NightmareFuel.Kamen Rider Gotchard: Just two villains staring at each other without additional context. Caption does not explain how Zein (the suited character) fits the Beware the Superman pothole.

Additionally, the image was uploaded by a user who has been reported twice to ATT for "badge of honor"-related editing problems when talking about Zein, and which I'm concerned still needs to have their edits cleaned up.

Apparently, the NF one was never brought up. I didn't see an IP tag.

[up] what's not cool about skewering a kaiju with a laser?

And no. I haven't watched the show. But the image is obvious.

...He's dead?

See, if you didn't tell me I'd assume he was KO'd or something.

Not that I think people genuinely cared about getting spoiled on the plot of '06 though

It's both a spoiler and a bit unclear. It could pass as Please Wake Up from a different angle, but then again, I am concerned about the spoiler image.

Eh, the thing about spoiler images is that you need to know the context to get them. People like me who don't? I get spoiled far more by people telling me it's a spoiler than from the actual image. This is something to keep in mind. It's not a spoiler if you aren't already in the know.

That's what a crowner entry can help decide.

Heartwarming.Eddsworld relies mostly on it’s caption, and doesn’t work out of context, and even in context it’s not particularly sweet.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.
