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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Macron's notesI don't really agree with too many panels (panel layout isn't just a numbers game and can evoke emotions by itself; in this case I think it really shows his despair/spiral) but I had a single-image alternative and made a thread
.

NightmareFuel.Vampire The Requiem - looks like a bunch of owls with glowing eyes, shows nothing scary about the Strix.
NightmareFuel.Hunter The Vigil - Just a (welder's) Mask and a Caption.
Not sure about NightmareFuel.Demon The Descent, how does it look to other people?
All other Nightmare Fuel images on individual Chronicles of Darkness game pages (including the one on Princess: The Hopeful) look sufficiently horrifying enough IMO.
We don't sweep with a broom, no~I'm not getting funny from Funny.Osmosis Jones. If anything, it's more creepy than funny.
Why so serious?Funny.Diamond Is Unbreakable Retold is basically the same as its source material's funny page, and it's not good quality, and the primary edited part of the image (the FBI stuff) is hard to make out.
Note: It isn't technically a duplicate (see the left side of the image), so this is a problem for this thread, although the similarities between the two is a mark I'm putting against DIU Retold's pic.

Funny.Cuphead is really bad. The funny part is hard to make out among the the white clouds.
Once Upon A Time.We hit the five day mark so I processed the remaining crowner items.





Awesome.Digimon Adventure 2020


TearJerker.Life Is Strange Before The Storm

Heartwarming.Xenoblade Chronicles 1


Keep
NightmareFuel.Knives Out Macron's notes~delayedboom Demon: The Descent needs a more concrete reason for pulling and you need to list out all of the Chronicles of Darkness subpages with images you want to pull.
Macron's notes
The current two on the crowner are the ones I think are really bad. The one on Demon I think is unnerving but not necessarily Nightmare Fuel scary. I am fairly on the fence about whether it's overtly pull-worthy (compared to VTR and HTV) though.
Heartwarming.SeventeenThousandSevenHundredSeventySix: Just two red "X's"
Heartwarming.MetroidDread: JAFAAC
Heartwarming.TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames: Too narmy to be taken seriously.
Heartwarming.NeonGenesisEvangelion: JAFAAC
Heartwarming.LiamKyleSullivan: Just two characters, and a caption
Heartwarming.Hunter The Vigil - hard to tell what's going on or why it's so heartwarming.
Awesome.X Men 1 is also a bit hard to figure out what's going on.

Funny.Sponge Bob Square Pants Battle For Bikini Bottom isn’t very clear what’s happening.
