* '''Do not add hypothetical scans or images without disclosure.''' That means '''don't post recreated j-cards or photoshopped album covers''', unless you '''disclose that it's been altered.''' We also wish that you try to use the original images as the centerpiece of articles, even if they're horribly low resolution. However, '''we will accept''' images that have been '''photoshopped to remove logos''' that attempt to claim "copyright" on their scans. We ask that you keep the original on hand, and '''upload it along with your altered image''' for reference. | * '''Do not add hypothetical scans or images without disclosure.'''

* We actually '''want people to sign or differentiate''' their file uploads from others, by modifying the file name. We don't have an official template for this, but an acceptable example would be something similar to '''"Pravoslavci-jcard-Front-Generacide.png"''', for the album Pravoslavci. Make sure the album name comes first, followed by what it is (j-card or tape, front or back), and lastly your signature or initials. This helps us find the images easily, and give them unique names so they don't conflict with each other. | * In addition to hypothetical scans, '''do not upload AI restorations, super resolutions''' or '''enhanced images''' without '''labeling them.''' You must also upload the '''original image''' along with the upscaled copy. | ||

* Don't upload people's scans or tape pictures when they didn't intend to, or know that they would be published. We've seen j-card scans get '''leaked from private chats''', just because '''some loser''' wanted to be the guy to upload it to Discogs. Similar behavior will get you banned from Savez.net. If you're uploading images '''on behalf of someone else''', make sure you have '''their express permission''' to do so, and credit them if they wish, using the upload description. | * Don't upload people's scans or tape pictures when they didn't intend to, or know that they would be published.

* If you're uploading '''very large scans''', we'd appreciate if you '''converted them to JPEG''' (or '''JPG''') format. J-card and tape scans can get up to 100mb as PNG files, and that takes a lot of bandwidth if someone wants to see the full size image. | * If you're uploading '''very large scans''', we'd appreciate if you '''converted them to JPEG''' (or '''JPG''') format.
