that’s it. nothing more to really add to it. it’s quite simple.
I am in favour.
Aye
Here here
Where? Where??
There! There!!
The way to hell is paved with good intensions…
The current proposal is not specific enough: With your proposal every post effectively requires an artist signature. There will always be some valid reason why there is none. Also who should check/enforce this? The single non-existing mod? xD
Keep it simpler and make a rule that says: Content created by somebody else requires attribution.
Attribution could be an artist signature in the comic, the name of the artist in the description or a link to the original source in a comment.
If I were to indulge in pedantry, the rule would be against cropping signatures, not requiring they exist. If it’s unsigned then there’s nothing to crop. I like your phrasing much better though, require attribution if you have it.
This comment alone should qualify you to become the second non-existing mod
If there is no signature to begin with it cannot be cropped out
My good dude, hell has the good food, the good music, the good wine, even the good Nixon(below) (the evil one went to heaven, have you seen the kind of people that go there?).
you can’t second your own motion stop talking to yourself
my only regret is that i have boneitis
i don’t regret my boneitis
If there’s no conveniently available version with the artist credit in the image, a link to the artist’s page in the post body I think would suffice.
honestly this is mostly because i’m about to bike out and help my comic book buddy with his taxes. but c’mon people, be respectful to the artists.
I’m not a regular here, but this feels perfectly sensible
Don’t know if I get a vote here, but I am strongly in favour — especially as you’ve said that it’s not necessarily going to be a bannable offence. I think that rules can serve as a valuable statement of intention — like virtue signalling, except without the negative connotations of that term
everyone gets a vote and no one gets a vote. I just wanted to spark a discussion and get consensus
I was about to make a comic about this tonight lol
(I know it goes against the one comic per week limit but it seems like nobody is respecting it, yet respecting not spamming)
i want to see it!
Stay tuned to this community! You should be able to see it soon
I find that it’s pretty rare anyone here would do it intentionally. Usually that comes from people just resharing something they found on Instagram or somewhere.
I agree people should try to find the original author and post the original in that case. But I think that should be called out instead.
Edit: This comment is redundant, but oh well
no worries. I both like and want to hear your opinion
We need an active mod in this community. Any suggestions? I have no experience.
be fair. treat everyone equally. be kind, try not to get your feelings hurt even when people intentionally try to hurt yours. have easy to understand, clear, easily accessible rules. apply them even-handedly, even to yourself. it’s best if there isn’t some huge list of rules but like, people will push boundaries. your job is to enforce the will of the community, not your will, so poll the community to get their opinions.
this isn’t the mods’ petty fiefdom, it’s all of our petty fiefdom. it’s the posters and commenters that make the community what it is. a lot of mods forget that.
this ain’t my art. this is your art.
also: LIGHT MODE AAA
Why are people cropping out signatures?
i don’t fucking know. some people are merely posting the versions they find and sharing comics they love. some people are actively defacing beauty and it hurts my soul (yes i am being overly dramatic i am a DIVA QUEEN y’all know this)
Seconded.
I’m guessing there must be a reverse image search API. Maybe making an attribution bot is possible. Just a thought.
I support this.
