Generic Show images?

JAGUARDOG wrote 9 years ago: 1

I found this show added today "Cops with Cameras" and it has a plain, ordinary, generic photo on it. I thought I should ask before I add any of these type photos myself for shows that do not have any good Poster Photos if this is even allowed here? The reason I must ask is that these type of plain photos can be found by the hundreds in different places on the Internet and I wondered if you would rather have one of these used on shows until a valid good Poster Photo can be found instead of leaving it totally blank for who knows how long maybe forever if one is never found?

This is based on a very long back and forth discussion that Jan & I had in the forum about 6 or so months ago where she told me that if a perfect Poster Photo cannot be found that the site’s policy is to leave it blank until such time one can be found. My retort was and if one can never, ever be found it stays blank forever? Her response was Yes!

The generic photo was added by a regular member who may not know if it is okay to use this type of photo as I am also unsure if this is approved here or not as well? Lastly, I looked all over the Internet myself for a good photo but I could not currently find one but you would think that a show that has aired continusouly since 2007 would have at lease one by now?

Jan is a man, not a woman ;-)

On topic: I don't see any clear answer in the policies, so Jan and/or David need to clear this one out for us :-)

Sorry Jan, I never knew and that is what I get for ass summing once again! I had forgotten that it is mostly a Man's name in most European countries!

Don't think Jan is a well-known name in Europe though, just a Dutch name haha :), but for me it should be doable with this poster. I'd rather not have too many of them, but a few for these long running shows shouldn't be a problem as they'd most likely will not have a poster in the future anyhow.
