Hey guys, I noticed that an artist uploaded a comic page from a comic he is doing, and had in the description details about where the rest of the comic can be obtained, as well as other work he has done. Even though this https://i.imgur.com/kWmonyk.png clearly states that the artist can do this, a person has marked it as paysite content and it is marked for deletion. They have done this once before a month and the image was deleted, so I'm cofused as to whether or not what's written actually matters, or people are incorrectly flagging and e621 staff are failing to uphold their rules and are falsley removing this content.

It's hard to give input on a circumstance without knowing the post of which you speak.

What that text means, is that even though patreon censors and such are againts our guidelines, it's more than fine to put patreon links in description, just as one example.

What flagging and deleting as paid content means, is that someone third party taked and uplods content from artists patreon for example and posts it here. Also note that flagging only means that individual user flagged the post and staff is yet to take look at the situation, so the deletion isn't inevitable.

Yeah, no idea what situation specifically you are even talking about. Also there has been impersonator accounts here, so unless the artist has been verified, by default consider them to be fake.

Well, that was flagged, that's not deleted, that is definitely uploaded by artist as that's verified account, there's nothing that falls under our advertising guidelines and description also is more than fine.

So what's not fine with this situation?

because the person also flagged other post which got deleted for being an inferior dupe, but this person seems to think that it was deleted because it was flagged it as paycontent

Yeah that's a my bad on my part. I didn't realise the reason the other image was deleted was because of it being a dupe version. Additionally, seeing something as "marked for deletion" sounds more formal and definitive.
