Topic: Bikomation

Posted under Off Topic

It's probably no news to anyone that Biko has used this site heavily to promote their Patreon/other paysites almost religiously, with little to no consequence. This is against the Uploading Guidelines and has gone on for years at this point. It is my opinion that any current and future Biko post that includes advertising of any kind aside from the description be removed. It is not fair that Biko is the exception to a rule that every other user has to follow.

References to a patreon in a post are not against the rules, and trailers for paywalled or otherwise premium content are also not against the rules.

Advertisements:
Acceptable advertisements are those with artistic and entertainment value that far outweigh their nature to sell goods or services. Advertisements that only advertise goods and services are not acceptable and the uploader or artist will need to purchase advertisement space here instead.

'Your Character Here' auctions, adoptables, censored Patreon images, or other censored paysite previews are almost always unacceptable, thus expect these to get deleted.
Advertising your Patreon or paysite in form of a signature on any given image is perfectly fine.
Advertising your Patreon or paysite in the description of art you have created / commissioned is also perfectly fine.

I looked all results for bikomation and didn't find any that fit that forbidden definition. They all have artistic merit and don't look like "YCH" advertisements or the like. And like said, descriptions are fair game!

Tl;Dr "Denied"

That's because all the more advertisementy ones get pruned out. You won't believe the headaches some of the Admins get whenever a new Bikomation post gets uploaded. :o

Haha, figures! That was actually what I was considering but... yeah. Should have included deleted.

They also have the second lowest score post on the site due to their rules lawyer advertising. Right between nazi tails and 9/11 69. That should be a good indicator how much the community doesn't like their ads.
