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.

The crowner description should probably list which post it goes up to.

Gonna start with some pulls because most pics have reached +8 in the current crowner. EDIT Nov 18th. The remaining pics reached 5-day consensus to pull as well.

I'm not that into Action Taimanin, although I know the basics of the Taimanin series—the characters and the idea of female ninjas fighting monsters. I've never played the games, but I’ve seen fanart of characters like Sakura and Yukikaze on Pixiv.

The image on the "Nightmare Fuel" page for Action Taimanin doesn't strike me as scary at all. It doesn't even try to create an unsettling feeling. It's just a picture of Yukikaze pointing a gun at the camera, which I think is more cute and charming than frightening.

The image should be pulled. Are you on board with that?

It's been 5 days and the ratio is 3.50:1, so pulling the Heartwarming.Fairy Tail image. Hollering to close the crowner.

[up]You need to make an image picking thread to change the page image. This thread is about removing bad moments page images, not replacing them.

sorry, I'm confused by the layout of this place and I was never able to find it. Can you send me a direct link to it so I can send it there?

[up]Go to the general Image Pickin thread for info about good images, but basically you go to the bottom of the main Image Pickin’ thread, where there's a button that says Add Post. From there, you create a thread (listing the page in its title) and list the reasons you want the image changed along with your suggestions. You can’t access it now because the limit is 60, but when it is open again, you can create the thread.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

Do you know what JAFAAC means? Because Glitchtrap and their eerie glowing eyes shrouded by darkness feels scary enough to me.

Alright, one more time.

Okay, let me try this again.

NightmareFuel.MAD: The magazine image is fine, but the animated series image is more squicky than scary.

[up] Moments pages aren't supposed have more than one image anyway, so that needs its own thread.

23rd Oct '25 4:09:26 PM

Crown Description:

This crowner covers posts from October 7 2025 to October 17 2025 (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting.

Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.

  • After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
  • After 3 days, anything with +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
  • After 5 days, any remaining 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 an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.

Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.

Each crowner option links to the image, as well as the beginning of its discussion.
