I think the site owner should tell people only to post pictures of their
own creations, and those which the creator has given them permission to
post. Both for copyright reasons (note: the copyright to a photo
belongs to the photographer, who may not be the costumer), and to help
keep it from becoming a site for everybody trashing everyone they are
jealous of or personally dislike. Yes, maybe the site owner can't keep
everyone from illegally posting some photos, but they can at least say
this is an issue.
Also, as for the "Am I Period" site, asking people to post a few
sentences about what they were trying to do with the costume, and about
anything specific they want critiqued, might keep people from putting up
others' pictures without permission. And it would help people give
better critiques.
Basically, it is a good idea to have the names of the people who posted
the photos, the names of the costumes, and the names of everyone who
gives critiques, publicly displayed. Sure people can create false IDs,
but it's something of a deterrent.

Hi all!
Please forgive the bandwidth, but I need people to beta test this website
and see if they find bugs.
