I can't believe this is what my first journel is about
2 years ago
So, there's been a policy change.
I'll be honest, though I've been on this site for a while, I haven't at all been active on it until very recently, so I don't have any experience with what the staff here is like. On top of that, I don't have any art uploaded on here so this change doesn't affect me. With that all said, I may be out of line when I say this, but you all need to GET A GRIP.
Yes, the wording is too vague. Yes, innocents will get caught in the crossfire, yes, I am also scared and worried about what will happen to some of my favorite pictures on this site. Still, I think a lot of people are severely overestimating how far this will be taken, many of which seem to be fundamentally misunderstanding what the policy change even is (some of which have already jumped ship). So, in an attempt to ease some of the tensions, I'm going to remind you all of a couple things.
"What about kobolds/my sona/something else?" They're taking the rules that have already been in effect and applying them to pokémon and digimon. If those other pics were affected, you would've found out months ago.
"I have no way of knowing which of my art is safe/I already deleted a bunch of pics just in case." They told you to send a trouble ticket and just ask them. I don't know if this will still work for images uploaded after the policy change goes into effect, (will they let you send tickets to ask about art you haven't uploaded yet?) but for now at least, we can use these tickets to get a better idea of how exactly this policy is being enforced, and maybe (hopefully) then we'd have less assumptions and fearmongering about it.
So submit those tickets, and if they say no to something that should obviously pass, then raise hell about it. Yes, complain, but please complain about what they're actually doing, and not about the made up fantasies in your heads. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I've already seen too many people saying stuff like, "they'll call you a pedo if your character is under 5 feet" even though it was said in the update that size does not indicate age. Like jeez, at least try to understand what you're getting angry at.
So uh, that is all. It bears repeating that I don't like the sound of this new policy either, but for now, I'm going to choose to remain hopeful. Good luck, I wish you all the best.
