Topic: Images getting mass-deleted for sharing similar poses

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Artist Furball recently (or maybe a while ago, not sure) had a massive amount of his images deleted on the grounds "Maximum of five posts per artist-reused base."

While this may seems smart for keeping the site from going over capacity, this severely limits how many pictures a single artist can have on this website as just having similar poses can be ground for deletion according to this rule.

These aren't similar poses, they're literally identical with only some minor changes.

Yeah. There are a few which look different, but the majority of them are the exact same thing just with different species/characters.

He could make a flash, an album of pictures which can people then go trough and find the one they like.

Just tag with alternate version available and put link to artists gallery folder if they have one in parent post/pool source/description. We won't be removing something like imgur links either unless content is illegal, pirated or similar.
