e621, why're you so bad? (A little bit of a rant)
12 years ago
Want to split a commission? Click here for more info! So someone's been uploading my commissions onto e621. Which I have absolutely no problem with! I've stumbled across a few RPers using Strider and Kane for references. No problem with that, either!
What I do have a problem is, is incorrect tagging! Ugh. If people are gonna upload, at least get the tagging right. >>
Take this for example. https://e621.net/post/show/380723/4.....-balls-barefoo Someone's been following me enough to tag my character, but they leave the other characters involved untagged. Though that's just a curious question of mine. The real issue here is that the character involved with Strider, Kiva, has been incorrectly tagged as a bear.
Like, what the fuck?
Since when do bears have hooves?
What really annoyed me though, aside from the clear, obvious mis-tagging, was that I tried to correct this error. Silly me, I registered an account with e621 to fix this. And I discovered that "you must wait three days to be able to edit." Wonderful. So, because of my lack of privilege for editing, I decided to comment instead. Nope.jpg. I can't even do that! I have to wait a week to be able to comment.
Wonderful work there, e621. *Thumbs-up* I can't even correct my own images.
/rant over.
PS, if anyone has an account and can make edits, I'd highly appreciate it!

As for the waiting period to edit, that's a pretty standard anti-trolling/spamming method, I wouldn't be too bothered by it. It would be nice if these sites had buttons like "Claim artwork" or something to that effect, whether it be a notice for taking down the work or just a request for proper tagging/sourcing. Although, that could also be readily abused, so who knows.
In relation to the waiting period, it's totally understandable. I'm just feeling kind of impatient, frustrated and helpless as the art's owner and the inability to fix an error with the tagging system.
Since hybrid ideas have met with artistic freedom...
Glad to see it has been sorted out. Don't look for your artwork on "rule34.paheal..."! There are, where the real ignorants are posting...
