Replacement note on upload page and flag notice

Hello.
I wanted to ask if the help:upload_notice should be edited.
I've noticed that multiple users are simply re-uploading their uploaded sample images instead of letting them get replaced, like in post #2974619.
I think if we make a notice at the top of the upload page that such cases will be reduced, since it's just annoying if you get a deleted upload because you were not aware of this feature.

Thoughts?

At least for now. Probably best placing it at the bottom rather than the top.

Regarding that many corrupted uploads are getting flagged:
Should we make a notice in help:flag_notice to ask for replacement, instead?

(Edited the topic's title)

I think adding those things in both may be fine, although I am concerned at the length that both notices are at. I'm guessing that many if not most users don't read those walls of text, and even if they do they'll probably only read it once and just glaze over it in the future, missing any revisions or changes.

Image sample is specifically mentioned as a valid reason to flag. Shouldnt those get replaced instead? Also what does the "multiple pages of a doujinshi" mean here? It is clear that we dont flag bad art in comic pools if the whole pool is considered good.

Because this is related to this and I have already asked @albert and @NWF_Renim to double-delete corrupted images:

I also want to pin @Type-kun and @Hillside_Moose to watch out for corrupted images because they are to be double-deleted and for topic #8984.

post #2977321 is the most recent example and should be indeed double-deleted, also because double-deletions don't count as a normal deletion and don't interfere with the upload limit.

Since it happened again that an user uploaded the full size of a sample nstead of asking for replacement, I think it's warranted to add this to the upload notice:

" If you have uploaded an image sample consider asking for image replacement in topic #14156. "

Updated help:upload notice.

We ought to trim the uploads notice down some, it's getting too long. I think we could drop the part on tagging your uploads. Uploaders are now warned about that after upload if they didn't tag well enough. I think the part about self-uploads could be dropped too. Self uploads aren't that big of a deal, I don't think they're enough of a problem to warrant being the first thing in the uploads notice.

I agree there.
If wanted then I'll treat this in one day or so and look if there are disagreements.

Since there were no disagreements I've edited the part out with the Tagging.
@evazion mentioned that there was a notice if you didn't put enough tags on your uploads.
I want to ask if you get still linked to howto:tag and topic #12251?

These are the warnings you can get:

• "Uploads must have at least 10 general tags. Read howto:tag for guidelines on tagging your uploads"
• "Copyright tag is required. Consider adding copyright request or original"
• "Artist tag is required. Create a new tag with artist:<artist_name>. Ask on the forum if you need naming help"

So it doesn't link to topic #12251 directly, but it does link you to howto:tag, and from there it directs you to the forum thread.

Good to know. I think that's sufficient then.
