The Icons gallery a misused mêlée of art theft, unauthorized art reuse, mis-categorizations and under-representations. These troubles cannot be dealt with properly without most or all of the following concepts occurring or being heavily considered. Thus, this list has been compiled to be a checklist of sorts for administration.
Removal Of Unused Or Expendable Icons Tiers

eIcons - We were under the assumption it had finally been removed, but the locked gallery is still present.

mp3text - All [unlikely] submissions, as with eIcons, would be relocated to Miscellaneous.

Buddy Icons - All submissions would be relocated Avatars> Messenger Display.

Signature Banners - Category moved under Designs & Interfaces; Gallery description also needs expansion including strict rules about copyrighted image reuse.

Cursors

.Ani, .Rar, .Zip; 32*32, any file over this limit [such as multiple cursors in one deviation that transcend this maximum value] automatically warrants the necessity of a preview image and archival file [.rar, zip.].

Emoticons

.Gif, ,Png, .Zip, .Rar; Any emoticon submission over 100*100 pixels automatically warrants the use of a preview image

New Gallery Director

Bring on another Gallery Director to manage Cursors, Dock Icons, OS Icons, & IconPackager; ^
livius manages Avatars, Emoticons, Miscellaneous. This particular division of galleries between directors isn't necessarily the rule, but would provide for both directors to equally shoulder Icons as a whole.

Though, wouldn't it have been better to note $Moonbeam13 or ^livius about this? They seem to be the appropriate party to deal with this.

I personally don't think that was the smartest thing to do -- perhaps a journal would have been better, bring the attention of her to your journal instead of making a news article about the whole thing.
But, I think the news has been slowly going down-hill the past month or two. So, this will blend right in.
