Cool piece! Seems like a tough color combo but that looks awesome. Really like the pose.

Awesome action. Nice.

Not unless they're told or the artist... y'know. Signed the pic or something. And who knows if the image is on the user's gallery or on the artist's gallery?

[/ QUOTE ]

Correct. Or assuming the owner is linking their own work and you know how to get there. I would never, never link someone elses work in that manner. I may do my own that way because who knows what may be up in my journal at anyone time....

[ QUOTE ]
Sure there is!

Just click on 'Download' if that is available, if not you might have to right-click and select View Image, but either way you're bound to get a URL like that that you can directly link to.

Though I would REALLY DISCOURAGE this practice, as it makes it practically impossible to comment on the picture or find the artist who did it and it's just bad form if you ask me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, I checked it out. I logged out and tried pulling up an image that way and it worked so that is always an option. I'm sure those that are members can figure out a way to get to the artist's page if they want to fave.

Yeah. The 'mature filter' on DA as a solution is most definitely NOT a solution at all because it relies on PEOPLE to make decisions, and people in general are not very smart.

I'm very heavy on the mature filter because, you know.... for the children.

Not to mention that it bypasses all watermarks or forced-resize features DA may have in place.

I think the problem isn't so much linking to an image page, but linking to a gallery page or an artist page. We love to showcase the artists... but sometimes these folks get racy. And because we're linking to dynamic content, there's no control over what's there.

So, I propose this:

Linking to IMAGE pages should be OK. Yes, there's a risk of someone's avatar in the comments being racy.

Refrain from linking to GALLERY or PROFILE Pages. Instead, mention that they're on a resource page, such as TA's, and link to that. (TA, you might need to clean up the featured selections a little, but not much, you're pretty good at that.)

How's that work for everyone?

That's okay with me but I'm not a mod. Was the image that was pulled linked that way?

I've linked that way before. Can non-mmebers see them though? I thought they could'nt.

A stunning lack of understanding of what is being asked and discussed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh really? So you are seeking guidance on what is NSFW?

You shouldn't be. That's even more simple to understand:

NSFW content is whatever LH, Ex, Niv and Kos decide it is.

If you want some safe guidelines, look to the corporate world:

Sex, nudity, racism. All NSFW.

I haven't misunderstood what's being discussed. I'm simply mocking those attempting to weasel around it.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think some of the sticking point is that the rules seem arbitrary, as any rule of this sort will. As the "Uncaped" thread's deletion shows, it's not just sex, but also implied sex. But that standard is not enforced consistently, so it's sometimes hard to say what is or isn't allowed.

And this leads people to being snarky.

[/ QUOTE ]

In the uncaped situation, it is the linking I think that was the reason is was pulled, not the art itself. But, that is the question. If you link to an image on an artists page, you may be safe one moment and not safe the next. If an artists page can be nsfw at anytime, we're just not going to be able to link images from it no matter how safe they may be.

Nope. Not seeking guidance at all. Your post here continues to show a lack of understanding of the conversation as your previous post did. Understanding what is NSFW is not the point. How to acceptably link when web pages can be a moving target is. In your attempt to be smug, mocking and accuse people of trying to weasel around standards, you miss an opportunity to have a conversation about the subject preferring I guess to go the route that you know what the answer is when you don't even have a clear grasp on the complete conversation.

I am going to put some emphasis this discussion again since I just ran into it in this section again.
If your NSFW is one click away, the post is coming down.

[/ QUOTE ]

So if you post a picture on DA, and a person who makes a comment on it has a horribly disturbing gallery, you can't post that picture, even if it was of fuzzy bunnies or something? Or are we only going to refer to the ARTIST'S gallery?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but that "one-click" thing gets really hazy on places like DA and other places where there are links and links and links to everything. You can click to the front page of DA from any piece posted here and that could potentially have NSFW material. Also, if you're pulling things down for having NSFW pieces one click away via DA, you wouldn't know that unless you were signed in on your DA account, and you yourself have enabled those pieces to show. "You" referring to anyone.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't understand the confusion here.

If you post a link to NSFW content, the link gets pulled.

What's not to understand? A page full of links is not NSFW. A page full of NSFW pictures is.

A link going to a page that does not have any NSFW content on it will be left alone.

A link going to a page that does not have any NSFW content on it but does have links to NSFW content will be left alone.

One click means one click.

This is not rocket surgery.

Love Peng-Peng's work. Lovin the Graviton Girl pose and War Bride has some serious junk in the trunk.... but that's a good thing....

Nice piece.

Nice stuff you have going there! As far as future commissions go, a great place to start is here:

Thors Assassin List of Artists

A lot of artists with samples of their work.

[/ QUOTE ]Thank you for that link! A lot of those dates are from Jan/Feb...is there a more updated link, or are those dates still valid?

EDIT: I just saw I'm at 10034...I really, truly hope my Cartel Ding was a worthwhile post. >.>

EDIT2: Counting backwards in my post history, it looks like my last post in this thread was 10k.

[/ QUOTE ]

The dates refer to when they opened up their commissions. They should be valid but checking the artists journal for current info is the best bet.

True. I suppose on the web and more to the point on a forum such as this, it would not be obscure at all. Now if I went back to Star Trek TOS....

[/ QUOTE ]

not really.... it might be a bit more obscure than TNG... but ANYTHING Star Trek isn't obscure. Something that might be considered obscure, is a series called Spaced, at least on these forums, the Euro forums would recognize that name fairly immediately.
