This is alarmingly poorly thought out. Photo posting should be opt in, not opt out. You folks have a whole policy about keeping pseuds and wallet names separate, and protecting people from getting doxxed, but suddenly posting pictures in the days of data scrapping and facial recognition software is fine? That's not okay. At the absolute minimum, you should have a way to opt out forever, like with wallet names.
Aside from people getting outed as writing, say, underage Harry Potter slash fic (illegal in some countries), having issues with their employers, families, friends, being found by stalkers and harassers (anyone else here have someone who used to publicly crosspost any/all damaging information they could dig up on them? Raise your hand!), there's also issues around people who do not want pictures available due to issues of gender identity and dysphoria.
I love Fanlore, and I use it often, but this is a terrible idea. Please reconsider it.
Edited to add: I understand that this is an attempt to draft a policy where previously it was a free for all, and I appreciate your work on this, I just feel it could be more restrictive than is currently worded.
