Poll: promo pictures
There have been some concerns with the latest People Magazine promotion picture being used as icons in the community and as previews for icon posts. One instance was a mistake on our part for not catching it in the queue - our apologies!
done_one and I have both seen the picture in question, and consider it to be a promotional image, not a movie still. When photos are officially released as promotional images, they have been approved by CC or FOX, who would not release images that will ruin the entire movie. Normally it is easy to identify "promotional pictures" (as distinct from stills) because they are often studio photo-shoots - but although this particular instance seems to straddle the line, we don't consider the People Magazine picture to be spoilery in the same way as a movie still.
Keeping in mind that we want to be considerate of those members of this community who want to be spoiler-free, we also know that people are excited about the new images and are anxious to use and share them. So, we're going to have a poll to see where the majority of this community stands on the use of these images.
(Recall that for the purpose of the poll, we're calling the new People Magazine photo a "promo shot.")

And a NOTICE: We are in the middle of making the new layout. Right now all the colors suck and lots of things on the sidebar need tweaking. But we aren't finished! We're just getting some sleep and studying for finals and going to class! DON'T JUDGE.
