So like, I made a takedown request, but judging the fact that the vast majority of them have not been resolved in a month, I suppose nobody picked up the slack yet, which TBH isn't actually surprising at all.

I mean, the request form still tells you to contact Char. Lol.

Last time I had to be a nuisance on the forum for a week until somebody told me to contact their twitter about it but I forgot who that was and I'd rather cut straight to getting my stuff off this website. So who was that?

No one is lead admin yet, so.........

This has been said five to six times already, I don't think it listens.

I know this, I don't give a shit if there's a lead admin or not. I haven't been on the forums since my art got taken down last month, I wouldn't have come here after making my takedown request if I didn't notice they were piling up like that.

It's been a month already since Char stepped down, how long will it take for the admins to gather together and be like "ok so you will deal with takedown requests for a while", and don't feed me bullshit about only Char being able to do it, 'cuz it wasn't Char who took my art down last time.

You're free to stop derailing this topic.

I thought you were banned or something.

Anyway, there's no new lead admin yet. You could always try and contact Aurali or Tony on the IRC.

Or you could be patient til we have a new lead admin.

...You get more flies with honey than vinegar. Dont be rude -.- The admins will get to it when they get to it, just have patience and wait like everyone else.

Yes, but someone uploaded a newer piece.

That's false actually. Try it. Bowl of honey, bowl of vinegar, see which ends up with the most flies.

Besides, I don't want to catch flies, I want to get my art removed from this site.

Then I think that it's okay to flag it, and link to accepted takedown request just like it would be done for other DNPs. Though flagging rules could be improved again.

I was told this would be abuse of the flag rules

redisdead said:

I think that flagging before takedown request is accepted, and before it can be confirmed that you're the artist/character owner is flagging abuse.

Anyway, I've flagged post #340905 so if I'm wrong nothing wrong will happen to you. And I'm not an admin, so if admin told you that then probably I'm just wrong.

redisdead said:

So then PM Char.
Or Aurali.
Or Tony.
Until they tell you to screw off and stop bothering them they're pretty much the main points of contact for getting shit done.

There is an individual from Dragonfruit (the company that owns e621.net) that is supposed to be handling takedown requests now as of 5 days ago or so. I'm sorry to hear that they're still not being done for some reason though. I will try to poke him again today and see what the delay is.

It's not so much a matter of who CAN do them, it's a matter of who is SUPPOSED to do them. The person that's supposed to be doing them now has been given all the step-by-step documentation I created (7+ pages and 2700+ words all specifically about handling takedown requests) and I've personally trained him myself. We want things to be as consistent as possible, especially with takedown requests, so that's why it's currently a task assigned to one particular individual who has all that documentation and training. If Dragonfruit wanted the responsibility of handling takedowns to fall onto someone else, they would have done so. Again, I'll try to figure out what the delay is...

Hey look I know who drew that!

Eh, I handled it last time when you were in limbo, we have someone now, so it's something they'd have to handle.

Everyone is scared?

I don't think anyone really, actually, cares, to be completely honest.

Maybe if you were polite about it, things would get done faster.

Nah. Things just... take longer.

Past experiences says you're wrong.

Patiently waiting for someone to do it's job? "takedown request: pending"
Be a nuisance on the forum? "OK fine just message me and we'll take it down tomorrow"

But tbh I'd rather skip the "being a nuisance part" and go straight to "takedown request: approved", but that's not up to me.

We have someone new working on them, please be patient. :) Might I suggest in future commissions, you ask them to make a note not to share art, because I know nightfaux, and he supports people sharing his work.

Dogenzaka said:

Absolutely not, I've already chewed out a mod over saying something similar, politeness does not matter in how fast a takedown is handled, it doesn't speed it up (I didn't do it because you were being annoying, btw) as I said, we have someone new working on them, so give the poor guy some time to acclimate.

Also, why wouldn't you want your art up here? Unless you are trying to demand money for your work, why wouldn't you want the extra publicity? It's free, and someone else is doing it for you...it's a win-win situation.

Because bronies ruin everything.

Yeah, NF is a pretty chill dude. Obviously I'm not, but I ain't going to burden him with my decision to never have anything I have spent money on hosted here.

Thanks for deleting the piece, btw. See you next time someone uploads some of my stuff without asking me first.

I agree with this. Like, seriously!? All of this fuss because "BRUHNEES RUIN ERRYTING"!? As if it was'nt enough that bronies are treated as a sub-sub-set of furries because MLP is a show for little girls and grown retards. Dammit, get your stuff together! Tell you what: times change and you have to deal with it. There's always an exit if you can't. And since you can't, have a nice day…

Golden Rule: Do'nt be annoying and your stuff gets done.

I hate this attitude. But who am I to complain?

but I ain't going to burden him with my decision to never have anything I have spent money on hosted here.

If you do'nt want it on the internet, do'nt leave it on the internet… Also, make sure the artist you commission state that you do'nt want it uploaded everywhere besides its gallery. Or portfolio (for SFW images and some NSFW).

Thanks for deleting the piece, btw. See you next time someone uploads some of my stuff without asking me first.

Uh-huh, bye. See ya when I post a 1/4th res version of the same image…

Guys I'm disappointed, this isn't how you treat other people. I've had to get on 4 of you now. Locking thread.
