The title pretty much says it all.
I noticed that people were posting scans from magazines in forums and image galleries. Is this always allowed on Giant Bomb or are there special circumstances that have to be met?
Giant Bomb Policy For Posting Scans?
" @Not_Rage said:With the exception of classic ad pages, that is not true at all." It's not allowed unless your uploading something like an old video game ad from a magazine. Scanning full magazines isn't allowed. "Wrong. On Giant Bomb, posting scans are allowed. Obviously, not posting a full magazine but 2-3 pages are fine. "
Do not post scans to Giant Bomb. Do not attach scans to image galleries.
" "With the exception of classic ad pages, that is not true at all. Do not post scans to Giant Bomb. Do not attach scans to image galleries. "
Alright, sorry. That should be added as an official rule somewhere, though, as there's obviously some confusion on the subject. Does that mean we should delete all images that are scans from magazines in the wiki? Because there's a ton of them.
And I wouldn't have thought we needed a specific rule banning magazine scans, since our stance on illegal content is pretty clear, and it's pretty much common sense that scans fall into this category. But I will add something to our wiki FAQ about it though, making it even more clear.
@Lights_Up_The_Shaft: That advert should totally read like this:
