Ummm....you aren't going to lose it if it changes so.....

I know I am not gonna lose it, but you know what I meant, right?

kay guys, might want to cool it a bit with the aggressive behavior towards the mods. there's no need to be rude to the mods, considering we've been over this same subject like 50 times and everything has literaly already been said and seen by everyone keeping tabs on this topic.
seriously why be rude to someone who has to sift through all of this crap for hours on end. it's possible to be civil about this.

seriously though when is this topic going to be locked, there isn't anything left to say that hasn't been repeated over and over.

People keep on bringing up info. about whether or not the lines have been traced or not and have been using that as their reason. BUt before this was posted may I ask how many of you have complained about this?

I just wanted to ask ^-^

We have noticed that it seems like the main concerns so far are about a few favorite pets like the PPS PONIES and the rainbow mane changing. If the opinion remains divided then we may re-vote with new conditions such as keeping the PPS ponies and have special line edits for things like the rainbow mane horse so that it still looks good on the new lines.

Going to being up this question again, since it seems like some of the CS tumblr people are in the thread at the moment:

Why is there only a chance of a DMCA report now and not all those years ago? Clearly, the CS people on tumblr have known about this for years. Why did people only contact the photographers during the past few days?

I mean, from what I've seen, the tumblr community as a whole (CS tumblr-ers being no exception) is pretty outspoken and not the sort to just sit back and watch something get worse. They're the sort to *take action*.

So logically, one of these three things happened:
1) The original photographers were contacted, and nothing happened.
2) The wrong photographers were contacted by mistake xD
2a) still wouldn't explain why the original photographers wouldn't have been contacted afterwards, though.
3) No contact was attempted

I for one, have only been only since February. in that time I knew Equimagine's lines were traced but not from what images. Most people on tumblr (and I suspect skinless chicken) have seen the evidence and are aware of most of the tracing that goes on in official art but simply were not aware of who the copyright holders were, or were under the impression nothing could be done about it.

No one is being rude with the mods? Merely treating them like another person isn't treating them rudely =/

-snip-
Atwood, I'll say again what I said to you earlier.
If she was capable of freehanding some of the linearts, why would she trace the others? Using this simple logic it's easy to see that there's little chance of those linearts being legitimate.

And while you're saying it's wrong to convince people using the overlays you personally aren't convinced by, I personally think it's wrong to constantly defend her obvious theft. You're a moderator. You're supposed to be against art theft and things that break cs's rules.

I question the morality of a site that 'hires' mod(s) who turn a blind eye to obvious theft, and go so far as to convince others that the images aren't stolen.

I've never said there wasn't tracing/referencing/freehanding/what-have-you of any of the lines, only that those particular photos are almost certainly not correct and were very likely not traced. If people are using that as their basis for deciding (as opposed to the foal lines), they are being misinformed. Part of being a mod is also making decisions on whether something was copied or not. If any member was accused of art theft based on those adult overlays, I would not accept that as reasonable evidence because there are many other photos equally similar.

From what I have heard from earlier posts, it has been brought up before but each of those topics were locked and deleted by mods to help protect equimagine, same as they would do for anyone who might have a hunt started after them over something like this, but don;t quote me on this, I'm not 100% sure.

yeah I really sympathise with atwood, they said not to put links to "traced" photos cause not all of them are and is dishonest and affecting votes. and gets accused o turning a blind eye to art theft
