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.

Funny.Supermarioglitchy4s Super Mario 64 Bloopers: Image has no inherent comedy in it, and if anything a chasing monster would be more Nightmare Fuel than Funny Moments.

"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."AwesomeMusic.Jurassic Park image is just the franchise logo on the left and John Williams on the right without any implication of "music" thing. JAFAAC or not?

I think it is. Weak image even if it isn't.

Definitely. We've pulled similar pics from AwesomeMusic.Metroid and AwesomeMusic.Centaurworld before.
Well someone created a thread for NightmareFuel.WendellAndWild
if anyone wants to weigh in.
NightmareFuel.Luigis Mansion is JAAFAC of a monster that looks too cartoony to be that threatening.
Once Upon A Time.Everything with a positive ratio of 2:1 and above has been pulled and tagged. Images below 2:1 have been tagged as keep. Crowner is now closed.

Macron's notesBeen directed to come to this thread to mention this image. It's for Sonic Frontiers
All the image consists of is a moon-texture that is purple. There's nothing remotely creepy about it.

Yeah. It's also a mega spoiler to boot. Since that's the True Final Boss

Funny.War Of The Fat Italians: Merely shows two elderly women standing next to the main characters, with no obvious indication of how it's supposed to be comedic.
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."- Funny.The Awesome Mario: Just shows two people sitting on a bed.
- Funny.Mario Does Things: Image doesn't show how it is meant to be comedic. Also contains a poorly edited subtitle with a misspelled word.
Funny.Mario Does Things seem fine to me, the blank, horrified stare of the Yoshis is the punchline. Also, I assume that the misspelling is intentional?
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallFunny.Dont Hug Me Im Scared is JAFAAC.
