Topic: Uploading a comic

Posted under General

Im uploading a comic, its about 145 pages long (so far, its still ongoing), and i kinda need help with it, im uploading all the pages, so if someone could approve all the pictures so i can keep uploading that would be nice.

also if anyone could add it to the pool and help me with tagging too.

Here is the pool https://e621.net/pool/show/4116

listen kids, this is why we ask for permission from artists before uploading.

Also, commissioners and/or character owners if present.

I'm not saying that this is funny, but it was definitely preventable as the dude is known to remove his stuff.

We have these records public for exactly that reason.

because im jsut supposed to be able to magically know the artist actually has to approve stuff to be posted. ~_~

can i at least maybe ask them if it can be approved?

also -11?!?!?! are you kidding me?

that means i will never be able to upload anything ever. this is rediculous.

im just done right now

im so done

Yop, this is cruel to insanity. 200 posts going okay, and then a nooby "ops" moment.
Really, give him a boost.

I agree. No one should ever have to have a negative post limit. And zero should only be reserved for people that abuse it over and over again. One is enough.

There is no difference between 0 and negative except a visual one.

Someone uploads a lot of bad stuff and the site automatically restricts and then outright removes the ability to post. We may override that if needed, but that's very seldom.

It takes at least 36 deleted images to get an upload limit of 1, 40 deletions for 0. If someone fails to learn what is acceptable to upload in 40 images then we can't help that person anymore.

Actually, no, when you are below 0 you can't upload anything ever again

Yeah, but if someone uploads 40 posts in 4 hours, and they all get deleted in one swoop? It would be impossible for them to "learn their lesson".

Seriously, having only one life is fucking cruel. You fuck up even once and game over. I'm against this kind of shit, there leaves absolutely no room for error, ever. Makes me afraid to post things. Even my own refsheet when it gets done, and it would technically be my own property.

admins can increase the upload limit

Like I said, it's a visual distinction only. Could be kept at 0, doesn't change anything that it isn't.

You can't post 40 pictures at once (the limit is 10 at a time until they are approved or deleted), and to be able to post 40 pictures at once you need to have 390 approved images with a maximum of 3 deleted images.
So, no, it's not as easy to fuck up as you said.

Also, as you may have seen we do increase the limit if it's through something like a takedown request, but we still make sure that the message gets across that the uploader is responsible for their uploads.

technically we cant be responsible to our uploads at all, since they could all be taken down by an artist simply asking for all their art to be removed

Asking the artist will bring that risk down by a lot. And if you bring us proof that you asked the artist beforehand and that they later changed their mind we're more than happy to fully restore the upload limit.

he didnt ask artist's permission before uploading hundreds pictures worth of the artist's comic and then the artist wanted it all removed. thats how it happened.

It's not like this guy has a history of uploading things that the artist then later wants removed. I say that it's not fair for one massive fuck-up, even something like this, to be punished so harshly.

me having a negative uplaod limit wasn't really a punishment.
was just how the deletion system works (as stupid as that is)

and NMNY did make my limit to 5....though i kind of wish it was 10 or at least back to where it was

Again, uploading webcomics without the artists permission is specifically listed in the rules. Reduced upload limit is the slightest punishment I've ever seen for breaking the avoid posting rules.

hundreds of "webcomics" exist on this site

That's because they are either old ones or are still being updated after the rule came in effect, so no new ones(unless the artist allow it).

This is to prevent flash-flooding from a single comic and not to divert internet traffic from the source.

Again, you just need to ask permission or find an artist who has already/publicly given permission.

I think your upload limit should be raised to at least single digit #

when was this put into effect then? is this only for mass uploading like me? or comics in general?

also if anything, posting comics here increases the traffic to the source.

i have found many comics here that are from sites i dont want to make an account for (restricted access and such) though, and from what haychel told me, not many people even visit the site the comic is on, probably because they don't know about it in the first place.

It depends on what you consider mass uploading, but here's the current wording: "Excessive webcomic rips (more than 5 or more consecutive webcomic pages)"

Many of webcomics on this site are actually uploaded by the artists themselves, which of course is allowed (and encouraged). And some have the first chapters posted as a preview (like Haychel's).

So while some parts of the comic may already be here, it doesn't mean that the rest can be posted. You still need to ask the artist first, especially if you're planning to mass post.

It was officailly put in effect 10 months ago .

Short comics are ok, but for webcomics that are always being updated daily/periodically and don't seem to end (yet), you might want to avoid.

As far as I'm concerned, everything is right with the world now. Sure, still seems a little harsh, but I can't complain anymore.
