Not really sure where to put a request like this, if its even allowed but I was wondering if its possible to update the picture used for One Piece.
Its currently using this picture


instead of using the much more badass and appropriate (since the series has now had a time skip) picture that is in the other picture tab.

The second image has spoilers for those who just started the show. I don't think it is a very good idea.

By that logic having Naruto Shipp on the database is a spoiler and the characters already have their post time skip pictures on their individual character pages so why not the whole series?

True, but it's not like I agree with that either...

It's a spoiler issue. We can't avoid spoilers with sequels but for the originals, we will use the oldest available pictures.

In any case, the mere existence of a character can be a spoiler in itself. Having to list characters on a page is unavoidable and the thumbnails are really too small to offer any dangerous information.

Regardless, the character guidelines are clear. By clicking on a character, you are always putting yourself at risk of being spoiled. This is something we cannot completely control and every user should exercise their own judgment before deciding whether or not to look deeper, especially if they have yet to watch the series. The anime page is there to serve new viewers. The character page is there to serve existing fans.

I'd like to add that this argument is exactly why the character picture request thread was closed. We don't like to waste time arguing over pictures. No means no.

By that logic, you better take Chopper and Vivi off there, Chopper doesn't become Nakama until episode 90+ big spoiler. and while you're at it take nami off, because it makes the outcome of the arlong arc more predictable.. why is Vivi even in that picture rofl

Actually that is a point. Apart from the character designs the only possible spoilers is
but their character designs are so different to how they were when you first meet them I doubt anyone would tell. It's more subtle than having their names categorised in the main characters section.

It still doesn't look better than the current one. The main one now has been there for over 2 years and nobody complained. Why? Because it's not that big of a spoiler, if at all. If there is nothing wrong with the current picture, then there is no reason to swap it. This goes for all pictures on MAL in general.

I'm particularity happy I lead the way for it's destruction. How that thread lasted that long is mystery to me, especially seeing how the majority of us hated it.

Not as badass as the post time skip one but I did find this one. The show has 8 pics already uploaded tho so it won't let me upload it on there.

depends on what your going for(they have less spoilers,the first one has much better coloring,the 2nd one has better coloring and unlike the current one neither of them are poorly compressed) . all of those are clearly better then what you just posted since if you actually spend the time to resize what you posted to the correct size it would look horrible
