The developers of ''Halo'' do not produce such images, and thus they have no place on the site. These images also have great potential to offend other users. Repeatedly uploading such images or audio can be grounds for blocking for vandalism as part of Halopedia's [[Halopedia:Blocking policy|blocking policy]]. | ||
