How To
Expunging a gallery is handled via a petitioning system. Each gallery has a "Petition to Expunge" link on the right side above the images. This link will replace the gallery's image section with a list of reasons a gallery can be expunged, as well as input boxes to explain a user's reasons for expunging. An explanation must be provided by the first user who files an expunge petition, and in some cases a URL of the invalid gallery should be provided. The creation of an expunge petition requires 5 mod power.
Once a petition is created, subsequent users with a mod power of at least 2 may vote for or against the petition. These subsequent votes do not require a reason for voting, but one may be optionally provided. A user's mod power will determine how much their vote will contribute (capped at 30; 40 for base bonus users). If a petition has a total sum of votes of 100 or more, the gallery will be expunged if the sum does not fall below 100 within 15 minutes, at which point the petition will be locked.
A gallery may have multiple independent petitions active at the same time. In the event that multiple petitions enter the "Activating" stage at once, the first one to enter this state will take priority and the others will be removed.
Petitions may be cleared by a gallery moderator at any time; those left incomplete for more than 7 days are automatically cleared.
Appealing an Incorrect Expunge
In the event an expunge was carried out incorrectly, the expunge can be appealed. If the gallery was expunged within 7 days, any user with 10 or more mod power can create an appeal petition. Only trusted users may create an appeal after this time.
Similar to expunge petitions, users may vote for or against an appeal with an optional comment. If the petition surpasses a sum of votes of 100 or more for 15 minutes, the expunge will be revoked and the gallery will be restored. After a successful expunge appeal, only trusted users may start a further expunge petition on that gallery. Users who participated in the original expunge petition may not participate in voting on an appeal petition, aside from creating them if they realize it was incorrect.
