#repost etiquette

[originalartblog]

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.

If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

#learn basic internet etiquette i am begging but also holding a knife. yes i'm mad. more about others than myself. #do you know how many artists i have seen leave social media because their art started being reposted all over? #tip: way too fucking many #i've had many people tell me about people reposting my art on tiktok #no one ever asked to repost my art on tiktok. ever. they just save super fried bad crunchy jpegs of my art and repost them #they get 20k likes and don't even bother naming me #also a reason i started signing my name more legibly and why my blog web address is always there but apparently no one can even read that #a few people got an ok for translations on other platforms though #i'm going to be annoying with this post and reblog it a few times to try to catch the people who apparently need to be told #tiny skk adventures #nawy's comics #nawy's doodles #apparently those are reposters' favourites so here look at this

I've been seeing a big influx of reposted art in MXTX fandom tags and it's making me fucking insane and furious so I'm gonna make this real simple.

If you did not create a piece of art work, and you do not have either explicit or passive permission from the person who did, DO NOT POST THE ART.

Explicit permission: you personally asked them and they directly said yes.

Passive permission: there is a statement on their account indicating they allow reposts.

There are no other options. If neither of the above is the case, do not post it.

There is exactly one exception: official art. You should still credit the artist if possible but you don't need their permission. And if you're not sure it's official art, refer back to above.

I'm so sick of this shit. I don't care if you saw it on Pinterest or Facebook. You can't assume other reposters had permission, get it yourself or don't post. I don't care if you can't access Weibo. You're not fucking entitled to steal the hard work of other creators. Full stop.

#unforth rambles #mdzs #tgcf #svsss #i literally blocked someone in tgcf tag today for having an account BOASTING that they only do art reposts #im not sure where yall came into fandom without learning etiquette but now is your moment

because i've been asked, here's a post for new tumblr users about reblogging vs reposting

reblogging is what this site is built on. the circulation of posts. to reblog a post, look for the symbol below on a post and press it

why is reblogging good?

it helps a creator's work get spread. even if you only have 1 follower, reblogging allows that 1 follower to see something they might not have seen otherwise. liking posts is nice, but unlike instagram there is no algorithm on tumblr and you liking a post doesnt help it reach others. reblogging does, so if you like something, hit reblog!

reposting is theft, essentially. reposting is when you right click and save an image to your computer or phone and then you post it on your own blog. reposting is taking someone else's work and claiming it as your own. doing this will get you reported which can lead to your blog being suspended. there is no excuse for reposting. do not ever repost

why is reposting bad?

aside from you stealing someone's work? its bad because people will think you created that thing and it deprives the actual creator of any credit or support. no content creator on this site will thank you for it, its just wrong. please do not repost

reblogging and reposting are not the same thing. please do not confuse them

Guys, I am so serious: I see you reposting my gifs, artwork, or creations OR someone else’s gifs, artwork, or creations, and I will block you immediately! I operate on a zero-tolerance theft policy.

#for anyone who is new around here or is rusty on Tumblr etiquette #stop doing this #reposting is theft #if you didn’t make it don’t post it #always reblog the original #ask for permission #cite your sources #gifmakers #gif makers #artists on tumblr #tumblr etiquette #i will never stop speaking up about it

my @attollogame mc, isaac! before and during attollo. he's just some guy (until the horrors get to him)

#attollo #attollo game #attollo if #attollo mc #cryptk.png #cryptk's ocs #he keeps a journal to stay somewhat sane in attollo #i'd like to imagine the codex entries are in his journal but written from his pov #also can you tell i didn't know wtf to do with the background. #i just wanted to make it presentable enough to post SOBS #btw @ the author pls let me know if tagging your account in posts is bothersome or whatever 🙏 #i'm not sure what the proper etiquette is when it comes to interacting with IF accounts #IGNORE THAT I IMMEDIATELY REPOSTED THIS CUS I NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG GRAHHH

[beyondplusultra]

Ironically enough, I'm reposting this because OP has turned off reblogs on the original (since they don't want any more attention on their blog), but I still think this is a message that needs to be spread for the benefit of all the new people and as a helpful reminder for everyone else!

#art repost #tumblr etiquette #actually just baseline internet etiquette really. thanks #reddit migration

[flowersforvax]

I'm gonna start blocking people posting screenshots of other tumblr posts

I just spent ten minutes searching for the original post without the stupid addition (almost completely out of spite) but because the search is broken - no dice

#JUST REBLOG IT #you can reblog it with your stupid comment!!! that's your karp-given right! but god fucking dammit don't repost you animal #tumblr housekeeping #tumblr etiquette #flowers talks

[knightobreath]

hey osc artists and members: Please block the accounts @profily-and-friends and @world-of-objects-fanarts as they are art thieves and serial reposters.

#Also world-of-object-fanarts has terrible request etiquette and kept pressuring an artist friend to finish their request faster #osc #bfdi #inanimate insanity #those are their main fandoms #they also have reposted art from tumblr artists so you aren't safe #knightext #pafiasco

Number one rule of tumblr: 

DO REBLOG DON’T REPOST 

Tumblr is known for excessive reblogs. You will see bloggers go on reblogging rampage, and that's very normal also a form of showing the creator their work is being appreciated. 

Here is a tutorial on what are REBLOG and how to REBLOG by @tips

You can make any posts you want here, however DO NOT STEAL others work to make your own post.

I see a post, I hit like & reblog like the simpleton I am, that’s it. 

Don't save the post and repost, it takes away the credit from original creator. And honestly quite shameless of you to STEAL from someone who spent their time making them.

Since last night there has been a lot of asks regarding this topic. Even answered how to add gif with proper credit in this other post. 

Hopefully this has been helpful, try looking up posts from @tips​  @staff​ to see how this hellsite operates.

this is how i feel whenever people go out of their way to describe how abysmal and disgusting kyman is as if it is not. a ship in a cartoon with characters who are very much not real people!!!

#especially when they screenshot kyman fanart just to repost it and say how gross and awful it is????? #there’s a lot of that on tik tok #and it’s like be so fucking fr man #kyle broflovski is not real i promise you he is not violently sobbing and shaking at the thought of kyman!! #and then just like. random kyman posts where the poor person isnt even SAYING anything rude to anyone else #just posting about their ship #and people go out of their way to leave nasty comments #oh mg i was just on twitter and this person on sp twt made a whole thread apologizing for following the kyman comic account 😭😭 #LIKE????? #J-O-B!!!! L-I-F-E!!! get one!! #chronically online #bro i dont even SHIP kyman but at least i know how to not be nasty on the internet??? basic online etiquette?? #like bro that is just MEAN #are you happy living out your mean girl fantasy

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that somebody has posted your comic sans comic on reddit in the Undertale subreddit as well as the general comic subreddit. They’ve credited you in the comments and everything, but I just wanted to give you a heads up in case they didn’t ask you first/if you’re not cool with it.

... Huh. Thank you for letting me know- I don't use Reddit, so I had no idea :')!!

They didn't ask, and I'm not a fan of reposting, but I do appreciate the credit (and the fact that they have been correcting people on That One Panel)

Honestly, I'm not sure how to feel about this!! On one hand I'm flattered that it was... "cool" enough to get shared to another site, but on the other hand I'm a little miffed that it was reposted in the first place?

I... is there even anything I can do here?? What is Reddit etiquette? I know reposting is pretty common there, and I'm not really inclined to report them or ask them to take it down if that's part of the post economy/ecosystem, you know?

Thank you again for letting me know, but I uh. have no idea what to do about this!

#they also linked my ao3 😭 i appreciate it but also. MY AO3...... #is there even anything i can do in this situation?? ik with other sites it's best to report them but idk what reddit etiquette is like #idk i have mixed feelings on this #im... egh. i dont want people. reposting my stuff in general #but it is kinda funny to see the reddit comments in a way that doesnt directly impact me i guess? #if anyone has any advice feel free to shoot?????? like. i dont know if i *should* care about this specific occurrence of reposting lol #the ideal situation is that Guardian_Eatos67 simply sends me every single reddit comment on either post #(JOKING) if you see this please don't do that #oh my god i jsut looked at the numbers on reddit thats so scary #can i just. drop in with my reddit account lol?? #like hi. im the original creator. thank u for comments I've finally made it as an artist im being reposted to other sites #'come read my creators commentary.' #'and commission me' #LOL #velwy.txt #inbox #anon #WAIT IS THIS WHY I GOT A RANDOM INFLUX OF FOLLOWERS OUT OF NOWHERE??

[changbeens]

a good rule of thumb for everyone to follow is if you personally didnt create the image or gif you are going to post or have expressed permission from the person that did create it, do. not. post it. it doesnt belong to you, you are reposting and you will get publicly called out and mass reported

I usually don't post fanart here, let alone stuff from my own (wip) AU fanfic. However, the story is turning into such a whump goldmine, i felt compelled to share.

#i prefer to keep my online social spheres seperate #so i wont tag the original work the AU is based off (its a very small fandom) #but I might repost it here... idk i dont see much fanwork whump idk what the etiquette is #anyway enjoy these contextless pictures for now! ^^ #whump #whump art #whumpblr #my stuff #my art #guarddog AU #(just in case ill post more) #affectionate whumper #nosebleed #blood cw #(also this is a wip i gotta add some stuff still. but i want validation NOW lol/j) #whumpee #female whumper

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

I’m sure you guys have all heard this before, but I really need to say it again:  

It’s really harmful to me as a small creator when bigger channels (or any channel, small or big) take my videos and re-upload/repost them to their channel. I spend a lot of time on all of the things I create, and people taking them without my permission and posting them to any place that isn’t mine, regardless of whether they say “knox made this”, it’s still SO incredibly harmful to me. It’s discouraging, it’s stealing something I’ve created and using it for their own personal gain without my permission and it makes it really hard to want to keep sharing the things I create. 

If you want to support a creator, or a show, don’t take other people’s videos, art or writing and repost it. Just don’t do it. Make your own content, or link to the original source and tell your following to go check out your favourite creators. 

These creators are clearly not your favourites if you repost their work to your socials. Whether it be YouTube, instagram, twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, or any other social media. If you truly like the free content a creator gives you, don’t steal their work or repost/re-upload their things without their explicit permission. If a creator is okay with that, and they give you permission, it’s okay. But for me personally it will never be okay. Dubbed comics, tribute videos for characters using my art, my writing and videos posted elsewhere so “more people will see it” does not help me. 

Linking to my original posts? That helps me. Reblogging my stuff? That helps me. Leaving lovely tags? That helps me. It encourages me to continue sharing what I create for free. And makes so I have a good experience interacting with the online community. 

Reposting my work? Re-uploading my videos? Taking my art and writing without my permission and using it for your own videos or blogs? That hurts. It’s disrespectful, and it makes me not want to share what I create publicly anymore. It certainly doesn’t mean I’ll stop creating things, but I sure as heck won’t be sharing my stuff with anyone outside my close friend group. 

In Summary: If you like a creator, don’t take their stuff. Link their stuff. Talk about how much you like what they create and give links to their blog, channel, or wherever else they might be so that people can find them and they’ll have more interaction which will, in turn, encourage them to make more content and share more things with you and their following. 

#vent tw #Not like hugely upset just feeling tired when i think about it #Really appreciate my good followers here #feel like we need like 'internet etiquette' classes that is mandatory to take before people get online sometimes #cause like MAN #it's also illegal to repost and steal things like that actually #so like #there's that too

[roley-poley-foley]

twitter's new terms of service make it so much more important that reposting stops, holy fuck. ofc i'll be deleting my old art from twitter and never posting there again but there's nothing i can do if someone chooses to take my art and post it there themself.

#important #i absolutely do not want my art used by ai #artists are gonna leave twitter in masses and then what #people are just gonna repost there themselves #guys PLEASE dont fucking repost art #its always been bad etiquette but now its even worse #i think im gonna work on watermarking my work #it wont be pretty but what alternative is there
