If you’re against art theft you should absolutely be crediting all photo sources in any kind of edits or moodboards you make!

You wouldn’t crop, edit, generally re-post someone’s drawn artwork you shouldn’t do it with photography either

Please always make sure to credit your photo sources or use photos from free-to-use websites like Unsplash instead!

I have noticed a huge rise in UNCREDITED and STOLEN works; it being art, edits, collages etc

Specially reposts on Tumblr and Pinterest

Examples:

*Original artists that had their work stolen: @regressionworldz and @cutiecorner

This post is a guide about internet etiquette and crediting

[Text ID: This post is a guide about internet etiquette and crediting. End ID]

1. How to NOT steal stuff!

Any work with the tag “Free to use” (also known as “F2U”) means that they are allowed to be reposted, used in collages, edits etc. Just check if credits are needed!

*Important addition (that I can’t believe I had to add):

* “Why does this matter?” “Can’t you just ask where they got it from?”

It’s a question of politeness and fairness, yes, someone can ask where that piece is from but it’s not a guaranteed answer, people can lie and people can forget!

Also, people might see it and take it at face value, think the post belongs to that person when it doesn’t

Adding to that, there’s folks that do not want their work reposted for many reasons!

To top it off, heres the issue of the original creators not getting the attention they deserve, imagine that you spent hours on a piece just for it to be stolen and that post getting more attention then your own original post, that one you worked hours for it to, to be just the way you wanted it to be, that would upset you wouldn’t it?

Overall, crediting and asking to repost is just the polite thing to do

For Artworks:

Your first need to check if the artist allows reposting of their work or the use of them for collages, if they allow, then you link to their original post and state who drew the pics of art

For GIF’s + non-product photos:

Credit to the original post! Or at least as far back as you can find it!

Usually photos of products such as toys, plushies, accessories etc made by big brands are easy to spot and know where they came from (ex: blogs that post PNG’s usually don’t need to credit all their sources), but, small business/hand crafted works should always be credited!

Reposting moodboards:

Similar to artworks, first ask permission to repost, if allowed link to the original creator!

“But they said “no”!”:

Then don’t do it! Even with credits! Don’t do it! Is as simple as that! Respect others right to say no!

2. How do I identify stolen work?

There are many giveaways of stolen posts, such as:

• Low photo quality

• Watermarks that don’t match

• Lack of information about what was made (for who it was etc)

• Unable to answer simple questions such as what brush they used or long it took

Examples:

3. What do i do if my work was stolen?

1. Inform the person that it’s your work and to either remove it or credit them

2. If it’s still not credited or taken down, report their post

3. If the report didn’t go anywhere or if the account is still doing it to yours and others content, please make an awareness post about it. Strength comes in numbers after all!

4. Overall…

Let’s stop with this unpleasant and rude act of stealing others work!

I really hate to see that on our community, please, inform more people about it and report any acc that profits of others uncredited/stolen content!

Thank you :D

Thank you for answering my question. This is @agere-petre-protector again with my request.

Can you please make me a DNI banner with some strong cat (like a lion for example) with "Do not interact if you are NSFW" ?

I am not too sure what more information you need but in case you need a color I would prefer either no colored background and/or green like grass.

Thank you in advanced, Agent.

Like/Reblog if you use! :D

Not an ask for anything I just wanted to say thank you, you're helping the agere community on Tumblr become more safer (๑˃̵　ᴗ　˂̵)و /gen

Thank you so much! 🩷

We like to think that it really is a community effort, because this blocklist wouldn't work the way it does without the submissions of other age and pet regressors. Still, kindness is always appreciated!

[agere-petre-protector]

There is supoused to be a "raid" tomorow or something of the sorth on ask boxes with assumigly gore or NSFW material. Not sure about if it’s true or not but please turn off your asks if you are sensitive.

Allways make sure to:

Have anons off if you are sensitive. People are lot less brave with anon asks off

Don’t panic. Know that people who do this want you to do that. They have nothing else to do and nobody respects them so they like the feeling of being feared

Try to find the facts. Who told me about the raid? Are they credible? Do they have any facts to back up their claim?

I have been incredibly busy due to a fundraiser I am a part of every year this time so I unfortunately can’t give you these facts. But make sure to do your own reaserch when it comes to stuff like planned raids and anon attacks.

Context I did find is here, thank you little one who send me it <3

Kitty for a cheer up

[agere-petre-protector]

Thank you dear little one!

Hello dear!

Sorry for bothering you, but it's important to remind you to turn off your asks for a few days! Bad things are going to happen on Tumblr soon...

Don t know anything about this but BETTER BE SAFE EVERYBODY!!!!!!

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc

against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"

Best spots to aim for in self defence

[agere-petre-protector]

Freedom of information and the ideas of no information control is something I stand for and allways did. Most of my projects out of work are for freedom of speech and availability of information without an attached cost to it.

Freedom of speech and information should be universal, so should freedom of opinion and expression. Doesn’t mean consequences.

Cut those people out of your life if they wronged people like you. Never speak to them. Divorce them. Freedom of speech, freedom of consequences. Don’t stoop to their level but don’t make yourself deal with them.

They think you don’t deserve rights? They don’t deserve your time or energy. You have places to be, things to do. They visibly don’t.

We were born to riot, we were born to survive

Angry caregiver flag

A flag for caregivers who have issues with anger or are angry at people who are mean to regressors. Made by me because I relate to it.

NOT mean AT regressors!!!

@bunnelbaby you reblog a lot of flags so if you'd like this one, feel free to take it too:)

Hey. Minors following me. Internet safety is key!! NEVER include these in your bio/byf:

Medical diagnoses - this is nobody's business but yours. You don't owe anyone an explanation for why you are the way that you are

Trauma - same reason as above

Triggers - people can use these against you! Don't give people tools to hurt you. No one has to know what tags you block. Just block tags to stay safe!

Age - age is okay for adults to include but is iffy when you're a teen. Predators want this information, don't give people more than they need. Just state that you're a minor, that's all that anyone needs to know.

In general: stay safe. If you're not comfortable with every stranger out there having access to this information, you shouldn't post it on the internet.

Play devil's advocate and ask yourself about what would happen if someone searched for your information with intent to hurt you. You do NOT owe anyone an explanation!

🌟 Hey little stars! 🌟

I'm gonna comment on something I've been seeing in the community for a while now that's a little concerning to me.

If you are bodily under 18-21, you should not be posting your actual age on your blog/DNI, or at least, not that specifically.

This is from years of internet safety experience. The fact of the matter is that your blog is public. This means any person can search it up, and unfortunately there are a lot of people who look for minors online. Especially those with mental, emotional or physical issues, as many of us in this community do have in some capacity.

Now, that's not to say that you can't choose to tell people. We all want connection, and that's why a lot of us are on this app. But use caution and good sense.

Stay safe, have fun, and be smart. It'll make your online experience so much better!

The war on removing resources to remove ads is awfull tbh. Get a Google plug in guys! You can find a few and even if they can’t get all the ads out it got most of them out for me.

War on ad block is obsurd, you have to know people who have ad blocking ways wouldn’t click on the ad anyways. Engagment from those ads is not happening from those kinds of people. Let it go damnit -_-

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

I was busy with issues regarding a work client. Working in IT takes time off of hobbies sometimes, especially for someone who might have ADHD
