Enforce the art crediting rule properly.

[chrome sparrow]

Half the messages in #🎨・pgr-art are just uncredited artworks with no source/indication of the platform it came from. The channel description is only a suggestion, not an actual concrete rule that any moderator will punish for - can you finally do something about this?

Surely I don't have to explain why an official server should be letting artwork reposts happen on the daily or why it doesn't benefit the actual artists at all, even smaller discords show more decency towards creators than we do here.

art is art, we don’t care from who it is, we’re glad we have it, if you want to know the source just ask for it

beside that, having to source every image is a lot of work for something that could be finished in 2 seconds

[weak ginkgo]

???? that's a bit like submitting an essay and saying "it's a lot of work to write an essay so I just copied one off a random website and finished in like 2 seconds"

Your professor would fail you for plagiarism

and usually a reverse image search would tell you where that's from. If no link, a simple "from [artist user]" would work

if no source at all, the policy i've seen in most servers is "don't post it"

[obtuse crane]

Oh yeah?
Imagine you being an artist that worked hours on a piece only for multiple people showing your art everywhere without creating you?

Further more their views wouldn't increase even if people wanted to see the artist

It's just distasteful to not credit the artists

There's sites that shows the artists nowdays is it too much work for you to take 30 secs max of your time to get a source and put it?

[weak ginkgo]

Exactly!

[slim patio]

as long as people don’t use it as their own it really doesn’t matter

[obtuse crane]

It does
If people want their art credited which 99% of time they do
Then credit it
It takes about 30 secs at max

[slim patio]

if you’re really that worried about it just put your name on it, it shouldn’t become our job only because the creator wants it to be sourced

[steel aurora]

So you get to enjoy the art, but you still refuse to respect the artist who spent hours or days on it 😐

[slim patio]

kind of but not at all either

i appreciate their work and the time they spent to make it

what it comes down to is: if you want to let people know its your art put your name on it in a subtle place, don’t make it other people’s problem

because really… its kind of a hassle having to provide a link with every picture you sent

[obtuse crane]

If you can't be bothered to put the source of the art then I have a magical solution

Do not post it

[slim patio]

i have a magical solution too for people that want their art sourced

put the creator in your art

[obtuse crane]

You talk as if there wasn't cases of people erasing artists signature

[slim patio]

there are

i don’t know if they do something else but cropping for that

[obtuse crane]

Bruh just put the damn source and be done with it
And if it's a hassle then don't post it
Simple as that
And that's a rule enforced in all official servers for a reason

[slim patio]

i don’t even post anything

but i’d imagine it would suck a lot to find an individual link for every image taking atleast 20 seconds of your time for one link

in comparison to the 3 seconds it would take to just send all of them, i think its a way better use of my time to not give a source

but for 2 or 3 images its reasonable to give a source i guess

if its 11….. not so much

[weak ginkgo]

honestly, no. what with the embeds on discord you just have to post a link and it'll usually embed

i've posted tens of art at once and that never sucked even when i was working with non-embed art links
