I tagged them (or ones I assume uploaded by the same user) as "Watermarked" which I believe sends them to ADMIN for his decision to remove. Tagging incomplete, photographed, and low resolution, altered, or crooked just automatically places a replacement tag on them and the image remains.

EDIT: IT is not showing up on the checklist page and is gone from the queue, but here is the card page of one of them and it is there still, along with multiple other attempts, pending review. Note that at least one of the times uploaded the front and back are even mixed up.

Were the images posted at the top of this thread removed from the site altogether?

Alight now this is actually very funny.

Love when I flag images as Problem - Photographed in the queue and they are still added with no tag :)

I say keep the photographs Dan had in the first post, sums up the current state pretty well.

Exactly why I leave the scanning to you fine folks.!!!

This x1,000,000

Should raise the permission level up a bit in order to be allowed to add images..the way it is now just makes more work cleaning up messes

One somewhat simple fix is to upload a wrong image of the cards that are grossly wrong and then a second individual to report it as the wrong image and needs to be removed. An unfortunate "2-step" method but it would remove images such as the initial posted one.

As for the Drew Brees card images, I am not sure how it is determined that it is a photograph and not a scan. Of course I am not spending my hours on here looking for those who do not meet the standards set well above Admin's own standard so I don't have that keen eye to spot a photograph. It is also why I no longer scan and upload any images; don't care to be one of those tagged for uploading poor or improper images.

You can literally see the reflection of the user holding their phone in their hands to take a photograph...

Yeah, most of the time, it's very obvious when a card's image has been photographed versus scanned. And when it's not obvious, hey, it gets through, and not tagged.

As a side note, I had one of my images tagged. It was one of my earlier scans, and was not of an actual card (1910 or so Sweet Caporal pin). It wasn't great, but it was a scan, and it met the guidelines. But it was still tagged for replacement (and has since been replaced). And guess what I did about it? I saw it, knew there wasn't much more I could do about it, and left it tagged so it could be replaced - even though it was a guideline-meeting scan. And now thankfully, there's a better image of it on the site.

But this is about the people who obviously don't even bother reading the guidelines and look at the site for a day or two and think "No other images on this site show people holding their cards but I bet it’s because no one is as smart as me and has realized you can do that yet" or “If I prop the front image up in front of all these blasters maybe they’ll think I’m a famous breaker. Obviously there aren’t any of those here because no one has done this yet!” (quotes thanks to JG).
