This was added three years ago, saying that you must cite everything from your work. Any when I mean everything, from reference photos to medium to textures to brushes, everything. I mean, Looking back, even thought it's for the creators' sake, I initially found this rule completely ridiculous, forcing the artist to cite everything regardless if they remember the source or not, and whether the resources they used was free or not. And I was pissed off when an artist I followed had all of their previous submissions wiped out from the gallery by that rule. Also, thinking of it now, as I'm also using traditional art, I ask myself, do I even need to mention the art materials that I always use in every single post?
AUP 2.5 was made in late 2015, and given time has passed, and with stuff changing all around, and copyrights are being challenged, such as the myriad of Chinese mobile game ripoffs, America with their Net Neutrality thing, Google removing the "View Image" feature, Youtube still lingering on the fallout that was the Adpocalypse, and e621 having new rules about paid content, how relevant is this rule to you?
Also, kindly reframe my perspective on that rule, since, though I'm no longer as enraged as before, I'm still confused by that rule.
So in hindsight, as an anti-art theft measure, they should've been more clearer about that rule, and shouldn't have taken that to extremes (or bit more than they could chew), thereby turning the users off for this rule and not taking it seriously.
