Deleting and Renaming Image Galleries

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that this feature has been implemented for users. If I am right, then I would absolutely love to see it implemented for users with a lot of points. I have seen countless galleries that are pointless, or need renaming.

Also, I would like a feature that allows users to set an image for individual galleries (similar to the box art setting feature).

This would be pretty neat, but I don't think that a gallery should be able to be deleted outright. I think that that should still be dealt with via moderation, but it'd be nice to be able to flag something for deletion along with a reason why. Being able to rename galleries (such as to correct spelling and capitalization) would be an absolute godsend.

In addition to being able to set the primary thumbnail of a gallery, it'd be nice to be able to flag which images you feel should be shown on the main page's "top six". Before it was the first six images uploaded and now it's the last six uploaded, but it'd be swell if users could set which ones they'd like to show up. Perhaps have it set up in some kind of voting fashion where the images with the highest number of  "set" hits wind up there.

I know, lots of backend work would probably be needed for something like that to happen. My main motivation for it is that I love to upload images sequentially in the order that I took them as I played through a game, but this has been leading to some seriously spoilerific situations. At times, I've had to go back to random points in a game, snap some new shots, and upload them just to bump the heavy spoilers off of the main page.

I think that a lot of galleries are candidate for outright deletion. For example, I've seen numerous galleries for Concept Art, Characters, and then several for each town or situation that the player gets in in the game; making very messy. Some useless galleries, such as cosplay or commercials, are pointless as well, in my opinion. But I like your idea for being able to flag certain galleries.

Yes, setting the top six would be absolutely awesome. "Hits" might not be that great of an idea; I'd prefer more of a voting system, and the ones with the most votes from the users will get displayed.

Spoilers are definitely an issue. Possibly a way to flag certain images as spoilers, and then a default "Giant Bomb Spoiler!" picture or something would show up?"

One thing i want to know is where would you classify arcade cabinets? Like for a console game like say gauntlet legends. what gallery would arcade cabinet be under? or just let it be on the game gallery? The closest id say is box art.

box art is where i put them.

could you be talking about the earthbound page?

Actualy there is an difference between concept art and final art (character art) but i do agree that many galleries are founded on a misjudgement.
The "commercials" or  "advertising" galleries are sometimes needed since those pictures do belong to the game but are no screenshots nor official art.

Cosplay is a grey area for now, i have no memories of any discussion by the GB about it or if they disaprove of there being cosplay on this site thus i create a seperate gallery if there is any cosplay in the game gallery so that at least it isnt in the concept art gallerie what some people tend to do...

I'm sure a feature allowing users to delete/report galleries will come, and i fully agree that it is needed"

For the arcade question, I think maybe Box Art should be renamed to Box Art & Materials or something like that where the cover, manual, and cart/disc can go.. If you guys remember a while back I was asking on where game carts go, and I was putting them in the box art section because I didn't think adding a whole new gallery for just a cart would be okay.

So, maybe the arcade cabinets can jump into box art & materials or whatever we call since it really isn't a box.

We really need official word on images and galleries. Right now it's very unclear what is acceptable and what isn't.

I agree that this could be useful. Also, is there any way for users to delete this own images they have uploaded that were placed in the wrong gallery, or are duplicates? If users were allowed to delete their own uploaded images, I'm sure it would save the staff a lot of time so we wouldn't need to ask them to delete duplicate images.
