I upload an artwork, but a short time later, the artist posts the same artwork with a better resolution in another source. So far so good, and an replacement request for the better source is made at my upload. The problem is that after the replacement, I am being penalized and this is being implied on my upload limit.

Honestly I wanted to understand how is this my fault? There are artists who publish on 5-6 different sites and I have to wait for him to publish the same art on all of them, download and check which source the resolution is better? It takes a lot of work and patience for that.

I don't think any user should be punished for replacementsi if he has taken from an official artist account. Just the fact that the artwork no longer counts as an upload from the original uploader after the replacement is 'punishment' enough.

This site is an art archive that wants to archive the best quality versions of artwork, and part of being a good uploader is finding and getting the best quality version from an artist's public sites. If you just keep grabbing the 1280p resized JPG from FA, or the recompressed JPG from Twitter, when they provide a full quality version elsewhere, you're creating more work for other people to replace your upload because you couldn't take the time to get the best sources.

It's one thing if an artist posts lower quality versions to FA/Twitter first, then some days/weeks later posts a full quality version somewhere else after it had already been posted here, but you saying "a short time later" suggests that's not the case for you. You're just taking the first low quality version you see instead of looking for the best quality version.

It sounds like a lot of effort but it's not actually as bad as it sounds, there's a useful guide relating to which sources are the best.

Your only post with pending replacements I could find was post #3461672 - A good thing to remember is that if the image from Fur Affinity is 1280px on any of the dimensions, it's probably a downscaled jpg and there's likely a better version at another source. If it's more or less, it's probably the original file.

EDIT: It looks like your post actually came before the artist's Twitter post, and a few hours after their FA post. If the higher resolution version wasn't available at the time you made the post I believe you might be able to appeal being penalised for it, but I'm not completely sure on that. There's not really any guidance written anyway as far as I can tell

Stop uploading without asking and this problem will magically disappear

This... really isn't true. I've probably asked 100+ artists for permission and none of them have ever told me which source is the best to upload from, unless I've asked specifically and half the time they're not even aware of the way different sites rescale their stuff anyway.

You should ask anyway. But somebody getting their posts replaced is not grounds to make an assumption they never asked.

Once I got an animation directly from the artist and it was deleted for being too pixelated. I asked him to export it as a WebM for me, he just put it in a converter, and I didn't check it anymore. Because I thougt: directly from the source = best quality, no need to check.
