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.

NightmareFuel.One Piece's image has low quality and is just a face that's supposed to be scary.

A few images brought up on this thread in between the last item on the previous crowner and the last item on this crowner were missed in the crowner, namely TearJerker.The Batman 2022, NightmareFuel.The Batman 2022, and Funny.Brendan Blaber.

The image on TearJerker.Attack On Titan has an ugly black border at the top and is just a shocked face; it needs more context. The image on Funny.Attack On Titan isn't really that funny; it's just two guys fighting.

Is Funny.Elf funny out of context? (Besides questionable quality). In case not, note that the troper who've added it also added "Pictured above." to an example.

TearJerker.RedDeadRedemption2: Just two people, and a caption.

TearJerker.SuperMarioOdyssey: In context, the scene itself was played for laughs.

Heartwarming.DontToyWithMeMissNagatoro: JAFAAC

TearJerker.Titanic1997: Just some musicians playing, and it doesn't work without context.

NightmareFuel.TheAdventuresOfSuperMarioBros3: The image is more comical than scary, it is also played for laughs.

TearJerker.Cyberpunk2077: Just two people sitting.

TearJerker.Goomzilla: It's hard to see what's going on in this image.

TearJerker.MassEffect1: JAFAAC

TearJerker.MeatCanyon: It's hard to take this image seriously with a lot of uncanny characters in there.

RE: NightmareFuel.Hamsters Paradise: Unless I'm missing something, the pic is perfectly fine. There's NF subpages with much gorier pics out there. While there is a limit to how gory a pic can be, the pic on said page is perfectly fine.

I think it ended up not being included when I mentioned a few posts ago, but can the image on Awesome.Resident Evil Village be included in the crowner when a slot is opened? It is way too dark to see what is happening.

^ We try to add crowner items in chronological order (although I messed up on that this time around).

I didn't get to the page you mentioned the image on so that's why it's not on this crowner.

Funny.Scott The Woz is just Scott with some bread. It's funny in context, not out of it.

Back on Bond NF, I think NightmareFuel.The Living Daylights is fine, but it's hard to tell that the second image on NightmareFuel.Licence To Kill is covered in blood and it's not super clear that Your Head A-Splode happened.

[up] I would say that a guy facepalming dramatically with nothing but a loaf of bread on the table is random enough to be funny.

As for License to Kill, I think one can discern from the context that it's blood.
