I think it would slightly reduce drama around here if the name of the uploader of an image isn't even shown. As far as I can tell, it serves no useful purpose to a non-moderator, except for people who get their panties in a bunch over something they drew being uploaded by somebody else.

If nobody can tell who uploaded it, and it was uploaded at the correct resolution, then the artist will have nothing to bitch about.

Since when do we have drama over who uploads what around here?

Or people, who simply want to blacklist posts from certain uploader. I don't see either any drama about who uploads something, but I can see drama that will become, if blacklist possibilities become reduced.

Yeah, this is not going to happen. At e621.net we pride ourselves on our transparency and the amount of data we make available to our users.

It's not like you screenname is your real name.

....
Is it?

It wasn't about anonymity, but about artists getting pissy about people uploading their art to this site instead of the artist theirself uploading it.

Granted, I haven't seen it a lot, but I have seen it, and just yesterday I saw it again. Not a huge deal though, so just thought I'd mention it in case anybody thought it was a useful thing.

Artists have tools at their disposal for removal of their art from the site, such as a takedown request.

Accountability. Plus, artists have a right to know who's posting their art. And people would be less inclined to upload if they weren't even credited for contributing.

You can see the name but you can't view anyone's profile unless logged in.

I think maybe we could have something similar to this for the moderation queue, just so we remain unbiased as to what a user uploads, and have a simple setting or something that will reveal them all in the queue, but small idea

We don't have a bias but it still shows "uploaded by"

mod button

No I'm asking for like the opposite of that: a button that hides ALL the "uploaded by" fields
