Hi Everyone, I just want to follow up and try to close this issue, so the once the moderation features are officially online, we have our guidelines to follow. (They're officially online for blatant things, but not sure about for everything.)
1 -- I thought the following suggestion from Eduard really does cover everything I was thinking. Does anyone have any objections to editing the CoC as follows (https://inkscape.org/en/community/coc/) :
"Art and other content submitted to the Inkscape website should adhere to the following rules:"
with:
"Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape (e.g. created with Inkscape, created for use with Inkscape, showing how to work with Inkscape, etc.). We reserve the right to remove any content that does not seem appropriate or does not adhere to the following obligatory rules:"
If no objections, I'd like to edit the CoC as above.
2 -- Should these changes be retroactive, or not? I'm thinking not, but I could go either way.
I don't think it needs to be written into the CoC about being retroactive or not. But I'm not sure. Anyone else have a thought or opinion?
Thank you very much, brynn

I like that very much!
I'd propose having that to replace:
"Art and other content submitted to the Inkscape website should adhere to the following rules:"
Anyone else, other thoughts?
Thanks again, brynn
PS - cross posting into Docs list, to make sure the whole website team sees it.

But it's more because this would be a change in policy, that it needs to be discussed. And before we can start using the new moderation features, and deleting random type of photos, it must be stated in the CoC.
Or maybe there should be a whole separate policy on website content? Does anyone have any comments on that?
It's really a use policy, but we've sandwhiched it into the code of conduct for brevity:
https://inkscape.org/en/community/coc/
It could be it's own document like the privacy policy though if we had enough of it:
https://inkscape.org/en/about/privacy/

Why not just add (as the first point or general description) of the section "Guidelines for user-submitted content" some rather general note along the lines of: Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape (e.g. created with Inkscape, created for use with Inkscape, showing how to work with Inkscape, etc.). We reserve the right to remove any content that does not seem appropriate or does not adhere to the following obligatory rules: [...]
This way we can continue to accept high quality content (even if it's not directly related to Inkscape and would fail stricter guidelines) and have the possibility to grandfather in some already uploaded file while always having the possibility to reject content that is unfit for inclusion.
Regards, Eduard
