| Nov 1, 2019 at 14:55 | comment | added | David | Thank you. From following links to various other meta discussions it would appear that a general consensus / large majority on not posting text as graphics does exist, although unlike other SE policies, I cannot find any statement from Stack Exchange or even advice on asking questions in individual SE sites such as Biology. I am happier to continue helping monitor this issue knowing I have the support of mods on the site I frequent. I should therefore restrict myself to the second part of my question on necessary images — shows you shouldn't wrap two questions in one. | |

On the ux site, you often need images. Same for photography, obviously. Etc... It is not "very rare". | |
