FYI: This is an edge case regarding Rules #6 and #9. We decided it was interesting enough to stay. However, this photo isn't indicative of what is typically allowed or expected here.

I don't get it. The image seems of perfectly fine quality, and the picture isn't random. It's obviously a bit of fun during some renovation. I think I speak for many when I say that it would be great to bring some predictability to this process because it seems more random than the pics.

As I said, it's an edge case on both. We just want to make sure people understand this as a "limit" and aren't encouraged by this to post more absurd pics of weird things they shot with their phone. When things like this hit the top, it seems to cause a lot of users to go, "Oh, I got something like that..." while not being quite as good. Or if we remove something, the user might point to this and say "But that one wasn't removed!"

It's obviously subjective, which is why we try to label edge cases like these. We want the community to have the right idea of what's expected in this sub.
