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.

Heartwarming.Regular Show: The caption itself points out that the moment isn't heartwarming in context. I had created a thread for it a while back, but it didn't attract discussion and was closed after it clocked out.

Since Moments pages are specifically for people who have seen the show, I would personally prefer to not have pics that are not examples in context.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

For what it's worth, moments pages are intending for post viewing discussion, which is why they're Spoilers Off.

In this particular case, the picture is an example of Bluff the Imposter and Something Only They Would Say, which means it's not demonstrative of heartwarming.

Next Bond NF pic is NightmareFuel.You Only Live Twice. Apart from the caption, I can't tell there are piranhas in the water at all; she just looks like she's doing a Skyward Scream in chest-height water.

    1-day pulls, Feb 12 

Looks like the NF cleanup crew handled NightmareFuel.Martin Scorsese, so that option can be ignored.

The thing that’s supposed to be scary in NightmareFuel.Ratchet And Clank Rift Apart is very much out of focus. I swear we’ve discussed it before.

Awesome.South Park is vague out of context. I don't even remember the context — I think they're defending their town from something as the caption implies, but it just looks like a dense town gathering.

TearJerker.Minari is so dark that I can barely tell what's going on... which seems to be just three people looking at each other.

[up]Wrong thread, and those are just mildly creepy faces anyway. The third one isn’t even that creepy.

The last one is also basically the image that was pulled, just with a slightly different face.

Okay, since I kinda sorta maybe not sure know how to use this thread now let me try this again:

Tearjerker.Video Games is just a picture of Peach crying and not an actually sad moment from any video game.

Sorry, but that's had two previous threads and was just kept last crowner. check the page source to find all previous discussions on the matter. Please start a thread with a replacement to get rid of it.

I'll bring this up again since it got buried.

NightmareFuel.Smiling Friends's pic isn't that scary IMO, and was played for comedy in the show. What should be done with it?

NightmareFuel.Barnyard is just “heroes in peril”. I haven’t seen this movie, so I don’t know how nightmarish it is in context though. However, to me it just looks like some protagonists are in danger from a villain, which isn’t really NF on its own.
