Hello, everyone! I just joined this evening after Google Images returned a scan hosted here. I liked what I saw, and I think I'd like to try my hand at some improving my Photoshop skills while making some papers of my own. Still, I've come up with a few questions that I can't find answers to in the FAQ, and I'd appreciate it if someone could answer them for me!

Firstly, I've reviewed the requirements and rules related to scan and wall submissions, but was unable to locate any information regarding spoiler content. I know that many of series included on this site are ongoing in U.S. markets (such as those featured on Carton Network's Toonami). Also, many manga series available is the U.S. and Europe are an issue or more behind the Japanese release, and fans with access to Japanese or French copies of manga may "know" more than individuals who rely on Tokyopop or Viz for their manga. (Examples like DeathNote and the manga version of Fruits Basket come to mind.) So, all that said, what is AnimePaper's policy on scans/walls containing spoiler content? Is some sort of warning required, or considered good etiquette, and how exactly might one go about protecting fans who don't want to stumble across content that could ruin a series's end?

Second, as far as scan submissions go, are black-and-white scans acceptable? I've seen many beautiful color images from artbooks and manga covers, but what about pages from manga that have merit and potential for use in wallpapers? So long as they meet usual scan requirements, are they acceptable?

Third and finally, are screen-captures acceptable for submission in the "scans" section? Specifically, high-quality captures from series, without the interference of network logos or subtitles? Where, if anywhere, may one share these with fellow fans and wall-makers?

Thank you, in advance, to anyone who responds with answers to these questions. I really do hope to learn a lot and have fun on this website. Its unique "paper" system and well-designed layout make me inclined to stay.
