Is it possible to make a mandatory picture requirement before posting a FS thread?

Kind of annoying when going into a thread and there's no picture but only a brief description of the part and the words of "will post pictures later/tonight" only to see it three weeks later with the same info?

Some people don't know what "scratches during uninstall and install" means nor paint chips here and there.

Just.an idea...

 

I totally support that, I will check with the mods but I believe they would agree as we've discussed this internally before.

 

Yeah I'm a member of a couple of other forums and its nice seeing a picture of damage s or just the parts with a pic of username for verification ....

 

To add, it should be a clear, legible, in focus picture.

 

Shot by an SLR camera too?

 

I like it a lot. I don't know if most other members would like it or not.

 

I like it. It makes the product "real" instead of something the buyer isn't sure really exists or not. Plus, buyers want to see the condition of the item being sold. And I agree that the picture has to be in focus. We're in a day and age where everyone has a phone that can take a decent pic. It doesn't have to be super high-res or anything (even though super high-res pics are more easily taken than ever before). The days of 1 megapixel cameras are over. Nowadays, I'd be surprised to see anything less than 5 megapixels on a low end phone.

 

Here's how it's handled over on g35driver. Seems almost perfect to me.
