Do I need to scrap my adopts? Someone explain the AUP plz.
13 years ago
I can't figure out if I need to scrap my adoptables? Or if I'm allowed to upload leftover sheets? I seriously don't understand, because adoptables are being lumped in with auctions when people are explaining and they are two completely different things.
Regardless, this is stupid that I even have to worry. I get that flooding can be a problem, but this is not the way to solve it. What they're doing is unprofessional and caving into bullshit value judgements about ~artistic integrity and how character designs and YCH auctions AREN'T """REAL""" ART.
It's pathetic. It's pathetic and childish and hurts artists who use this site as a tool to make money.
Seriously, are we going to start banning commissions because of the fact that people are greedy and sell-outs for drawing for other people? Commissions don't have the same """heart""" as doing your OWN work, am I right? And people just post so MANY of them!
I'm sorry, but if you feel like you're being spammed, you can unwatch people. If you feel like the front page is being spammed, you're actually just wrong. I was always able to go to the front page and get my fill of awkwardly drawn dog dick without being flooded with those terrible, terrible auctions and adoptables.
The fact that I depend on this site for a significant portion of income makes me feel frustrated that I can't just pack up and leave for somewhere that isn't as terrible. Seriously. The admins need to grow up and stop policing its userbase for really dumb shit.

Pretty much this. I'd rather see more adoptables on the front-page, than having to sift through various interpretations of cooch-shots-are-sexy-now.
Does this mean I should now petition the site to ban those since they're not artistic? :I
Frontpage exposure is all the exposure you need! And if you don't get commissions, then do loads of gift-art instead to get exposure!
How about no, the system is horribly ineffective compared to dA's group-system and no, I'll work on my own projects, thankyouverymuch.
Basically: the bitching masses have won a fight over something they could've easily dealt with and now artists are hurt in the process. Lovely.
Thank you so much for this journal. My thoughts EXACTLY!
Man you couldn't have worded it any better ffff

Because that's what Fender said about YCH auctions. You can only have one auction in your gallery at a time.
:| Seriously, I can't understand exactly what this rule entails.
Honestly, I don't see too many people doing WHATEVER Fender/Dragoneer said correctly. ._.;
So what I make out of this is you can have multiple adopt pages so long as they are not the same designs.
As for adopts - from what I understand you can't have the exact same submission in your gallery twice. So to be safe, when you want to upload a new page of adopts, move the old ones to scraps.
But I was blessed to come across this little 'nugget of knowledge' in fenders journal. It makes -no- sense and I honestly wish neer/fender would get someone to post these journals and rules with more insight and make the language and the details within clear. Because of comment replies like this (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:31458730) no one is going to understand or take it seriously.
Fenders way of explaining:
"Nope. that's two! You can only have one! one!"
"But I don't understand, one in what time frame"
"No time frame! Just one!"
"But -"
"NOPE."
Better alternative (snippet from my FB discussion)
"What they need to do is clarify - Adopts: Same image? Delete the original. DIfferent image? Scrap and upload a new one so only one shows in the gallery at a time. Auctions: Original + 1 advertisement at a time. Must delete previous advertisement before uploading a new one."
Sorry <<; -tries not to rant-
