Fan art posters

TMDB owes a large part of its popularity to its collaboration with Letterboxd and the ability to create custom posters. And yet TMDB and its admins actively remove works of fan art because it doesn't adhere with its guidelines. The easiest way to fix this is creating a tab specifically for fan art. Not only does this keep the admins happy (removing the unofficial clutter from the official artwork) but it encourages the creativity of the hundreds of talented people whose artworks have been removed from this site. It also invites more traffic to the website.
There currently exists tabs for artwork from every country on the planet on each movie's page and yet there doesn't exist one for fan art... it's baffling. This simple change would make all parties happy. Surely?

Although I prefer original artworks, I think this is a great idea. After all, the variety of posters and backdrops is a big advantage of TMDB over other databases - why not expand this potential? Of course, a few rules would be necessary so that not any junk can be uploaded. But deleting all the fan art is, in my opinion, a wasted opportunity. As mentioned above, there are a lot of creative people who deliver high-quality fan art - just take a look at the posters on The Poster Database (TPDb).
( Also, German TV film aficionados would certainly be grateful to have an alternative to the incredibly bad official posters ;) )
