I was told to refer to the TOS about what was and was not allowed in the way of images on CM. I was told that there was some reference to image size and file types that were allowed. Alas, no such list of allowable items in this regard could be found. This is what the TOS says:
Services provided and not provided
3.1. The Website provides a forum through which adults may seek and establish personal contact with one another through the use of the Website's capabilities for displaying photographs and written materials provided by its members.� The Website contains images and content, including but not limited to text, images, messages, and other information.� All Materials displayed on the Website are protected by the First Amendment rights to Free Speech, Free Expression, Freedom of Association and Freedom of the Press, and parallel provisions of state constitutions. The Website is dedicated to assisting like-minded individuals locate, and communicate with, each other.� We are not responsible for the content of communications, statements, opinions, posting or other information placed on the Website by third parties, via any discussion board, forum, or public area of the Website.� Such information is intended to be protected by the immunity provided by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ("CDA") which immunizes this Website, and its agents and employees, from any claims relating to the content of information posted by third parties.� We do not act as a censor of such material.� You acknowledge that the Website may offer online content that could be deemed "adult," "offensive," or "erotic" in nature.� While We may choose to remove content that is identified as illegal, is stolen, or which violates Our policies, We do not edit, review, or change posts made by third parties prior to the information appearing online.

6.2. You acknowledge and stipulate that all of the Materials are expressive content that is fully protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.�
6.3. You acknowledge and understand that some of the Materials contain graphic visual depictions of sexual activity and nudity, graphic audio portions of the same kind of content, and descriptions of sexually oriented and sexually explicit activities.� You acknowledge that You are aware of the nature of the Materials provided by Our Website and that You are not offended by such Materials, and to the contrary, that You are accessing this Website specifically because You enjoy such expressive content and You wish to view such Materials.� You stipulate that you access this Website freely, voluntarily, and willingly, and for Your own personal enjoyment.

Throughout the TOS, which is quite lengthy, I might add, this is the only bit that can be found regarding images. That and that CM reserves the right to remove anything for any reason. Aside from that, though, there is no list of file types or file sizes that are allowed or disallowed. Nothing is mentioned in regards to what anyone may post image wise as far as gifs, videos, or pictures other than they be legal and not be stolen.
If I missed something somewhere, please don't hesitate to point me in the right direction, I won't be offended.
