The Fine Art of Staying on Our Good Side: An Adventure in Visual Compliance

Content Rules
  • High-quality photos only. No previews, screenshots, memes, shitposts, doodles, fanmade wallpapers, image resizing, cropping, photos of photos etc. 
  • Photos must be of the artist, not their pets, products, scenery photos. 
  • Feet, hands or zoomed-in body part pictures are not allowed. 
  • Paid content is not allowed.
  • No duplicates. Once a user submits an album for that event/date others can add to it using the edit button.
  • Users should look to submit the highest quality content available from the available sources. Submissions with subpar quality will be removed. High quality teasers can be found on Bugs & Melon.
  • Event dates should be set on all posts; that data is in our calendar.
  • Compilation albums (large albums compiled from different dates/events) are not allowed. 
Consolidate related pictures into albums
  • Upload multiple photos of an artist or group from the same teasers, photoshoot, event, music show, red carpet etc. into an album. Don’t upload every photo individually. 

Titles

Titles should be in English and include the name of the artists in the photos. Do not editorialize.

Dates should be provided in Korean Standard Time (KST). If the date submitted is incorrect as per KST, the post will be removed you'll be asked to resubmit it.

Tagging Guidelines
  • Uploaded photos are used on our profiles and thumbnails throughout the site; the first image in the album decides the thumbnails so be mindful of that when creating new photo albums.
  • The thumbnail must include every individual that is tagged.
  • Not everyone in a photo album needs to be tagged. If a recognizable idol is in the background of a photo of two other idols, but said background idol isn’t the focus of the photo, then he or she does not need to be mentioned.
  • Only tag groups if more then 50% (3/4, 5/8, etc) of the members are present in the photo or album. 
  • Full group photos should only be tagged to the group, rather than the individual members.
