oekaki thumbnails discussion {READ FIRST POST}

[shawty-cs]

genuine question, how is oekaki thumbnails (with sketches, colored sketches, or even full drawings) considered spam but with the “quitting bump post before adopting” posts aren’t? wouldn't those kind of post be more of a problem and spam than oekaki thumbnails with actual drawings on them? not sure if this question has already been answered but if it has lmk!

Genuinely curious. What ignited the sudden "off oekaki art lock purge"? People have been posting off oekaki stuff for a good while. Occasionally they get locked, but most slip through the cracks. I'm just wondering why it's being dealt with all at once all of a sudden is all haha!

from what desmond has said, it sums up to the fact of time and the post being reported
of course you have to go back through the form, as this has been,, vaguely i’m my opinion, addressed

as far as I can tell the only reason we've been given is "recently c4c threads have become more popular so there's an influx of rule breaking posts so you see more locking" which I find weird because like early this year I also remember c4c threads going around and I never saw locked drawings there

Yeah, the answers posted haven't really cleared it up for me, and I just kinda decided that "the m​ods say it is, so it is."

I believe this was answered earlier by mods. I'm not really in the place to answer since i'm not a mod, but from the beginning of this thread to now, it seems that the m​od answer was that there was an increase in reports for the off-oekaki entries, if i recall correctly. If this is wrong, feel free to correct me!

This confuses me as well ^^'

I wanted to bring up something that i dont think got talked about as much, forgive me if im being a bit dumb:

So drawings can be locked right? But...is there a reason why theres usually no warning given before the thread is locked?
I definitely can see it being on the side of taking too much time to warn someone since for that one person theres 20 other people doing the exact same thing. But I feel like locking someone whos unknowing and making them unable to retreive that art without a help ticket is a bit unfair and might need some addressing- esspecially since every art peiece is perceeved differently by everyone who looks at it.

I do agree with this. Is there some sort of extent in which it is allowed to show it? Or is it all a no-go?


Also from what I recall, the m​ods said that (and feel free to correct me) the main focus has to be on the actual oekaki piece

edit: here!

not a full explanation or answer but some sort of context

I have two theories regarding why everything suddenly got locked:

1: Some person who r e a l l y hates off oekaki works has been going around reporting and that’s brought attention about it to the staff

2: With this new lock update mods have started to inforce the rules more strictly. Gotta try out that shiny new lock!/j

From what ive heard, some users will target a certain artist and then go and report everything that might break a rule. Or, someone just, really, really, does not like off oekaki art and off oekaki c4c entries, like you said.
