Just clarifying the theft rules

Just clarifying the theft rules | So Moththeprotogen made a good point- if you post art: you NEED to credit the artist in the title, make sure their tag or name is visible in the image, or be clearly asking for help to find the original artist so you can look at more of their art or credit them. Otherwise it’s the same as stealing art. | image tagged in memes,blank transparent square | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

I really feel like it should just be you need to put the artist in the title, tag or not. A lot of the time the tags are hard to see or don't include the creator's name. I've also noticed hints of people seemingly trying to take the tag out
(not what you did, that was a mistake, and ty for putting their name in the title after you noticed)

It isn't really that hard to just type in the person's name, so I think it's worth the incredibly small amount of trouble to just put their name in the title. Plus, if the tag is effective enough the person should be able to clearly type it out into the title anyways. Not only would the name of the artist really show how effective the tag is, it would also make it far easier for people to find the artist.

I just think it's a fair solution to both the artist and the poster, that's all. Just a suggestion really.

Well I can’t really be extreme about it- but I’ll try

It’s just something that like- sometimes there’s an artists tag but no name
So you just sorta leave their sign on it and clarify it’s not yours-

Normally I’ll have an arrow pointing to it if I really can’t find their name

It's not exactly an extreme measurement, really it's near the minimum of what people should be doing when they post someone else's art

If someone has the tag but can't find the person, that should count as them needing to find the artist/asking who it is
