Due to the recent influx amount of subpar resolution. I was thinking to require the a minimum resolution of 1.6 Megapixel (1300x1300 or 1000x1600 and up). Anything below it will be blocked from being uploaded, and anything below 1.8MP requires mod approval.

Before doing so however, I'd like to hear some opinion regarding this, particularly, why one would bother with images that have a resolution of ~700 x 1000?

I totally agree with that in principal.

I think a hard cap will backfire some valuable images (by valuable I mean in terms of completing a scan set, or some card scans), but it's very rare instances I'd admit. If mod can still upload (or help upload) them in these rare situations, I'm OK with that.

I'm in favor of this as well. There's quite a bit of mediocre artwork at minimal resolution that gets uploaded.

that's OK. But it should only apply to the future upload.

Agreed. I don't think the intention is to delete old posts with this change, only enforce it on new ones.

My only question, is why 1.6 megapixel in particular?

IMHO, if you make a decision like this, the lower limit should be based on 300dpi scan sizes rather than digital. For example, A6 @300dpi (Bunko-ban) is already 2.16 megapixels. You could easily go the other way as well, and base it off a 3.5x5 photo print which would leave you at 1.5 megapixel at 300dpi.

Alternatively, if you instead based it off something like B5 doujinshi fit to height on common display sizes, you'd end up with something like 0.8 megapixel, while if you fit to width you'd be at 5.2 megapixels. While a 1920x1080 display in portrait view would end up at 1.65 megapixel if viewing B5 (1080x1525).

It all depends on what exactly the goal of the limit is, but I do think it should be some kind of objective measurement based on either print or fullscreen viewing.

I based off the scans of a CD Cover at 300 dpi, but I know it's not the smallest thing I've ever scanned. Smallest thing would be those teleka.

This site is supposed to be a high quality standard website for images.
No arguments here leader.

No problems with it.

Do it.

Just a clarification, the final minimum resolution is 1.92MP (it's always been that size since first implemented).
