Yes.
We’re hoping to create a background first, then announce. Sorry for the delays.

HI, sorry, follow up question - how do I set it to private now? And where do I file the DNP so I can curate my “gallery” request, do I just send an email? Thank you.

Go to /dnp/new and select whatever option suits you best. The next page will have a drop-down menu for every artist tag your accounty is linked with. After you’ve submitted the DNP request, if any clarifications are needed, a staff member will DM you on site.

Oh and I set your tag to private. IIRC if a user without all the special staff buttons wants to change their link from public to private later than the initial link submission, they need to submit a report on their profile (or whatever really) for “Other” and ask for that to be done.

Alternative for Germany, the far-right party in Germany that is bad enough for German parliament to be considering banning them from the upcoming elections and potentially forcing them to disband I hear

Preemptive “we have a politics thread” before this goes in that direction.

Does it really take 5+ days to decide what to do on a report of a repeat bad uploader?

Does it really take 5+ days to decide what to do on a report of a repeat bad uploader?
I’m pretty sure you already know the answer.
- Repeat offender
- History going back almost a decade
- Uploading an average of 3 images a day so far this year, of which about half have had to be moderated for some reason or other
- Complex tagging histories on each image
So, yeah - we’re talking about it, and each of us who have time to do so are spending 20 minutes here, a half hour there, trying to come up with some sort of suggestion for what to do next with this individual.
Oh. And of course, #5 none of us want to talk to them because doing so will almost certainly result in more death threats.
So … yeah. Might take a couple more days. Eventually one of the senior mods will probably do something, if only to make sure that none of the assistants have to deal with any rage-induced and hate filled responses.
2LDR: Thanks for reporting them, we’re working on what to do with them that will hopefully result in the desired changes, and not just another bout of TYRANNY!!!shift1

AFAIK “don’t repost” is not actionable because artists generally make an exception for Derpibooru
Hey, I remembered this post. I saw this really nice art by someone on Instagram and I wanna get it here too but they have a don’t repost notice on their main page, but I remembered this post here saying Derpibooru is sometimes seen as an exception.
How true is this? I really wanna get this nice Golden Feather set on here obviously all linked and with credit.

It can vary enormously depending on the native language and origin country of the artist, and how many layers of translation the notification has gone through.
It can vary enormously depending on the native language and origin country of the artist, and how many layers of translation the notification has gone through.
And, if we’re lucky, the artist has another site which has a more complete explanation of their license or sharing expectations, which we work from instead of what appears in their by-line on Twitter or something.
For example, in Japan, what is presented in English often is really ‘二次創作 (にじそうさく’, sometimes simply ‘リスペクト’ or ‘敬意’, which has expectations for reverence or esteem toward the creator which gives a tacit approval to sharing without formally permitting them, or denying the original artist’s rights.
This often gets translated into, at best, ‘no commercial reuse’ or simply ‘don’t repost’ on English sites because
- English is really gobsmacking hard sometimes, especially when you try to explain complex concepts in a couple words.
- Copyright is really gobsmacking complex sometimes, especially when you try to explain complex concepts in a couple of words.
- Some artists try to control sources people are using, permitting sharing if the source is their vanity or Patreon site, and forbidding it if it’s someplace else they use for advertising, like Twitter or Facebook.
And sometimes some artists really do not like their art being shared on specific sites.
So, it really depends on the artist and is often case-by-case, sometimes down to individual potential sources for their work.
Where we figure this out, we try to document it in the artist’s tag’s description, usually asking that one or another specific source is used instead of someplace else. Like, “Sharing from Pixiv is fine, sharing from Instagram is not.”
2LDR: Please PM me a link to what you want to share and I’ll research the artist’s licensing options.

Here’s the site in question anyway, and I downloaded the image itself by saving the source page. All I need to know is if I should post it anyway on derpibooru. Their main profile page has a please don’t repost thing, but I know a lot of people do that anyway, and I really wanna add to the archive.
That Derpibooru being an exception thing, that probably goes for some people but I would assume not all people.

K thank you, I’ll look into it in the morning, in the meantime please feel free to upload it, and if you would like, report it for Rule Other and ask for a review of the artist’s licensing and sharing terms, or something like that. Please feel free to start the text part of the report with ATTN:Ciaran and I’ll grab the report as soon as I see it.

I sorta just wanna upload this anyway and not be too focused on this stuff. Other people have done things like this before, and with little to no problem from it.

General case is to assume they mean in the “repost as your own work / without credit or link” sense, which is how the term originally spread on DA well over a decade ago.

Oooooooohhhhhhh. That makes sense. And we certainly don’t wanna do that.
