Our wiki follows a strict policy on images. Images can be very useful, but also inappropriate and unnecessary. Uploading pointless images can result in deletion of an image and a possible block of the user who uploaded the image depending on the content of the image.
The Image Policy requires that you follow a few rules:
==Basic rules==
*The image does not reveal your or a different person's appearance. This can result in a block between one week and infinite. (See [[Club Penguin Wiki:Policy/Privacy|the Privacy Policy]].)
*The image should not contain any offensive content, such as swear words or sexual references.
*'''''The image does not reveal inappropriate content, such as swear words or images, violence of any kind, religious symbolism, or explicit content. If this policy is violated, the image will be destroyed immediately, the user will be blocked permanently, and the federal government may be contacted if the image is extremely explicit.'''''
*The image should not contain any pornographic content.
*The image does not violate copyright or trademark of any user, company, or other copyright holder. The image will be deleted and the user may be blocked if this occurs.
*It should not contain anything that is meant to harass other users.
*The image is somewhat related to ''Club Penguin'', or is related to something similar to ''Club Penguin''. If violated, the picture may be deleted.
*The image should not contain any pictures of yourself or others.
*The image has not been uploaded already. If it has, the image will be deleted.
*The image is not used to intentionally hurt or harass one, or protest a certain aspect unrelated to ''Club Penguin''. The image will be deleted, and the user may be blocked.
