[Clipart] Png's uploaded as svg's

[charles thomas]

Better still,

these (as well as other image types) can be 64 bit encoded and actually be .svg when they hit the server.

An image can almost be thought of as a "raw type" of SVG. You end up with an SVG file with images (or in this case an image) with no conventional external reference to an image file.

I don't know if there's any pro's (As opposed to cons) on this?
Maybe you end up by gaining more SVG?

Whats the % of these image files V SVG ???

Ideas?

That would be good to add to the guidelines for upload...no bitmaps.

Yes, best procedure is to email them and give 24 hours to fix, but I
doubt they will. Could just delete them.

Ideally, we replace a clipart like this with some type of disclaimer
saying its been hidden or removed, but we could actually undo this.
Similar to how wikipedia handles these situations is best IMO.
