Topic: My posts were flagged for a (invalid?) reason

Posted under General

post #2514864 post #2514870 post #2514874 were flagged by dedari as inferior versions/duplicates of his posts, even though they seem to be of equivalent quality and mine were uploaded before his. Is there anything that I should know about this situation?

They were in a pool called "Fucking Day (Colored)" (that I created) and he replaced them with his own posts. He also altered their parent/child relationships to turn my posts into his posts' children.

The versions uploaded by dedari are much larger than the versions you uploaded. As long as they aren't artificial upscales, the site generally prefers larger images over smaller one. It's possible that you have e621 set to automatically resize images, so they look the same to you by default?

I didn't see that. My mistake.
How does Twitter have larger resolution than FA, though?

FA limits uploads to 1280px, unless the artist reuploads the image which FA will then keep the normal size. Sometimes artists upload smaller versions to FA, too. Twitter has a higher size limit.

How do I check to make sure that this does not happen again?

Typically if the image size on FA isn't maxed at 1280 in width or height, it's the original size. However, some artists do upload different sizes to different sites. So it's a good idea to check all the artist's sites to see which is the largest and least compressed version (size isn't everything; if some version is only a few pixels wider/taller but has noticeably more compression artifacts, the cleaner and slightly smaller one may be preferred).

I see, thank you for the explanation

Know the artist's posting habits well.
Whomever knows where the best source is will have the upload that sticks here.
