Help talk:Cosmetic Images

Image Policy

We've had a few discussions in the IRC regarding class images that are for cosmetics, as you know on the page there are quite a few examples of what not to do when making said images, though in the IRC there's been discussion regarding the 2 new image examples added, that being the Over 1000 pixels and the non-stock weapons/taunt props being used, despite these being on the page there is no actual official rule regarding these recommendations. This is why I am making this discussion to see if these image rules should be relaxed or not.

I believe that the 1000 pixels thing should not be a hard rule, simply a guideline you should try and keep your images around 1000 pixels at max. If an image is good but it's 1050 pixels wide then it's not much harm, it should just be a case-by-case basis.

For non-stock weapons and taunt props: I believe that certain taunt props can be okay (e.g. the Headcase or the Rancho Relaxo), however I do think that they should only be included if they fit the theme of the cosmetic or have some other connection (e.g. Connoisseur's Cap with the Headcase would fit perfectly, or the Allbrero/Seeing Double/Six Pack Abs with the Oblooterated due to the connection in Love & War). As for non-stock weapons, no reason to not allow them. There should not be a restriction on the weapons used.
