Purpose and Relevance: Images must be directly related to gaming machines (e.g., photos of your collection, restoration progress, or items for sale). No unrelated, promotional, or meme-style images.

File Requirements:

• Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF (non-animated preferred to reduce file size).

• Maximum file size: 5MB per image to prevent server overload.

• Resolution: Aim for 1920x1080 or lower for optimal loading; high-res images may be compressed automatically.

• Number of uploads: Limit to 10 images per post/thread to avoid clutter.

Content Restrictions:

• No explicit, violent, or illegal content (e.g., images of unregulated gambling setups or altered machines for cheating).

• No watermarks or embeds that could contain malware (e.g., avoid uploading images with executable code).

• Ensure images do not reveal personal identifiers (e.g., blur license plates, addresses, or faces without consent).

• Prohibit AI-generated or manipulated images that mislead (e.g., fake restorations); label any edits clearly.

Safety and Security:

• Scan images for viruses before uploading.

• Do not upload images with embedded metadata that could expose location data (e.g., GPS tags from photos).

• If sharing machine internals, avoid showing proprietary or sensitive wiring that could enable unsafe modifications.

Rights and Ownership: You retain ownership of uploaded images but grant GMOOCA a non-exclusive license to display them on the site. Do not upload copyrighted images without permission (e.g., official manufacturer photos).

Moderation: All uploads are subject to review. Inappropriate images will be removed, and repeated violations may lead to upload privileges being revoked.
