I wish I could provide some insight to this. I'm really sorry that this is a thing. The best I can say is "Stand your ground". If someone has a good idea, you listen; but if you don't want to do something, than make it clear that you refuse to and possibly give an explanation as to why things are the way they are. Again, I'm not familiar with this problem so I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I hope things get better. Maybe ask other artists that are on multiple sites how they deal with this.

Never really bothered with Eka's. Site structure is confusing... last few times I tried to look up galleries there, all I got was a big huge listing of comments. Boards full of trolls, and I can only imagine the chats are something akin to a warzone.
Also, I get the feeling Eka doesn't like me, so just always felt unwelcomed there.

DA is what would happen is FA tried to offer users' art for sale and kept the money. Toss in some browser-crippling bloat and is also not a fun place.


FA usually runs pretty good, and -SEEMS- pretty simple for tagging uploads. Say what's in the image and done.
Speaking of, is plenty past time I start doing some more drawing so I can have something to upload, huh?
