	We're ~~still working out~~ what the ~~image upload policy for Shifti will~~ be, ~~but one thing that Shifti is definitely not intended as is an image gallery~~. There are already several other major image hosting sites that are friendly toward or specialize in transformation images.		The uploading of images is allowed, with the following general caveats and restrictions:

			We are all nifty and OK about you doing the following:
			* Putting up pictures that help illustrate a story
			* Putting up icons that are relevant to something not story-related (i.e. the TSA logo on a page about the TSA)
			* Your own cutesy little horizontal rule replacement images and other such decorative dingbats
			* Other images used to decorate one's user pages are fine, so long as it's done in moderation

			We may get bothersome if you're doing the following:
			* Uploading pictures that you do not have legal right to use (see [[Shifti:Copyrights]]). If you're uploading images that are not your own you should include some indication of what permission you got, and ideally some means of verifying it. Images of unclear copyright status may be deleted preemptively until the copyright can be sorted out.
			* Uploading very large numbers of pictures (admin's discretion, please exercise restraint)
			* Collecting pictures or creating galleries simply for the sake of displaying them in galleries. There are already several other major image hosting sites that are friendly toward or specialize in transformation images, Shifti is focused on fiction. Creating a gallery of images that you've uploaded as illustrations for stories is fine, though.
			* Uploading images that might cause other legal problems (certain types of extreme pornography, for example). Shifti is okay with adult content generally speaking, but if you're going to put graphic images on pages please try to give some warning to readers who may wish to avoid them.

			Images can be linked to or displayed in various ways, see [[Help:Images]].

	If you post adult content please give some indication at the top of the page. Shifti doesn't yet have specific policies about what constitutes "adult" content so for now please use common sense. There is a template available to mark such pages ([[Template:XXX]]) and it should also be placed in the Adult category. Any adult stories found not filed in the Adult category may be moved there by the administrators.		If you post adult content please give some indication at the top of the page.

There is a template available to mark such pages ([[Template:XXX]]) and it should also be placed in the Adult category. Any adult stories found not filed in the Adult category may be moved there by the administrators.

	Illegal content such as paedophilia (including euphemisms such as "cub sex") will be removed when discovered and the user posting such content may be banned. We don't pre-screen edits, however, so we can't guarantee that a reader won't find unexpected surprises.
