Stratadrake

Hi I would like to report harassment from a user here who blamed me for something entirely unprovoked. I only commented on their profile and apparently I am being accused of 'terrorism' for that.

As you can see from the thread this attack doesn't make much sense and comes across as threatening.

You do realize you are dragging me into a conversation with no context, meaning first I have to dig through your history to figure out where this started?

Also, do you happen to know people by the name of "TeeJay97" and "SaemusJarman"?

Never mind. Clearly no one here wants to moderate the place so I'm done.

Were you not "done" back in July, or October?

(Feel free to deny what I'm not speaking out loud here.)

Look at this from my perspective:  If I'm a cop and some random person on the street runs up to me claiming I have to go arrest someone, someone who seems to be doing nothing unusual or threatening (outside of your interactions with them), what am I supposed to do?  If your expectation is that I should immediately draw my gun and go shoot them based on nothing but your word, THIS is why our country gets criticized for police brutality.

Speaking of which, I've spotted another suspicious user http://www.fanart-central.net/user/RichardJordanson/profile - joined on 10th November 2021, last visit was on 13th November 2021 (as I'm writing this comment) :

- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/CRwixey/864324/Leoeon-2021-Redesign strange comment;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/CRwixey/864325/Virgeon-2021-Redesign - doubtful grammar;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Falconlobo/864328/OH-Come-ON-Really - another strange comment;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Chila/864322/Emotions-of-Confusion - non sequitur comment, also suspicious;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Falconlobo/864333/A-Random-Boglin-In-A-Santa-Hat - troll-like grammar;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/Grok/864313/Bae-bae-white-lamb - troll-like grammar take 2;

Plus today's check - for I don't have another fitting suspect:
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/864335/Delilah-Cadian-Veteran-raw-sketch - yesterday it had vote score 2, now it has vote score 1, I believe not coincidentally;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/864283/Yvonne-at-Port - as above;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/864231/The-Heroine-of-Planet-Catopia - yesterday it had vote score 3, now it has vote score 2;
- http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/864116/Team-Pussycats-Mech - yesterday it had vote score 1, now it has vote score 0.

A random user without previous experiences wouldn't leave such evidence as listed above.

There is actually not much need to link specific comments, staff have a tool that can pull them up in a heartbeat (including from multiple users, with various grouping options - I know, because I built it).

We could probably use some kind of tool to analyze votes (likes/dislikes) by users but I would consider that not a high priority, as votes are generally (not strictly) confidential.

We shall see what happens, then -- be mindful not to over-react.

For example, the following screenshot does not reveal any information that wasn't already visible/inferrable from posted comments: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eFKTBfx22am0IV9xzANTnflNE-2RYc6S/view?usp=sharing)

The tool can also fetch comments from multiple users simultaneously.  Ordinary users technically had access to a limited version of it (restricted to their own comments) but a link to it was not included in the UI like it is for staff members.

It's good to know such tools exist, it'll make dealing with troublesome users easier.

As for voting - I've noticed that certain users abuse this feature by downvoting one picture from sockpuppet accounts, to avoid being spotted.

There is no context. That's the problem. I asked the guy what his drawing was and he accuses me of being a horrible person so I'm not sure how else to feel about that.

TeeJay87: "I see you also support the Taliban government and beating women in countries with Sharia Law."
 
This is just a baseless accusation out of nowhere.

I saw it, but alone it is not enough.  And I need to hear (from him) how he's involved in this argument too.

As I wrote below the picture - perhaps I did over-react, though this would've never happened if "awoljee" dressed his original comment in less offensive words.

The comment was written "What is this" - it can be interpreted as a trolling attempt, as it sounds quite aggressive (like a call to start a comment fight). I understood that "awoljee" wants a fight, so I replied as I felt appropriate and blocked him.

Did you by any chance sign up on this site just to impersonate another user and harass them in turn?

I have to give you a warning about that.  (which might be the only warning you get.)

The impostor surely did - FANDOM blocked it for abuses https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Special:UserProfileActivity/Atlakvitha and now, it trolls people here. I can provide you contact with the FANDOM Staff member, who blocked the troll.

And now I wonder if they already registered under a second username....

I'm sure this individual has at least two accounts here - he did on FANDOM https://corpseparty.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Log/block?page=User%3AAtlakvitha - as the local admin reasoned "Abusing multiple accounts".

Hello. I was showing a few of my friends this site and when they were on we all noticed nothing would load. Is there an issue with multiple users using the server at 1 time?

I replaced my other artwork and the thumbnail won't enable to change. http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/SailorSeiyaDigiJem/855825/My-first-time-posted-tradit...

Hello, I have a problem with the thumbnail from my artwork. http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/SailorSeiyaDigiJem/855883/Orange-Skull

What exactly is the problem with the thumbnail?

Ambiguity is the Number One Problem with the average bug report -- unless it's something that's patently obvious (which is always rarer than you think), we really don't know what we should even be looking for, until you give us a summary of what you expected to see and how it differs from what actually happened.

In the case of your submission:  I see a drawing of an orange skull centered on the page, occupying roughly 30% of the image's width and 50% of the image's height, and there appear to be some shaded lines radiating outwards from it (otherwise the background appears relatively blank); I do not have any reason to suspect that this isn't what the drawing was intended to be.

So, your turn to explain.

The thumbnail looks different from the artwork that I posted here. I replace my artwork from digitally edited artwork to an unedited cropped version of my artwork.  I don't want to be too click baity but I want my artwork looks exactly like the artwork that I posted here.

Just wanted the thumbnail looks exactly like the artwork that I posted here. 

Again, I have the issue that if the thumbnail (and/or resized versions) don't represent the original artwork, I don't know what the original is supposed to look like at all.

On the other hand: did you upload a different version of the file but the thumbnail didn't change to reflect it?  THAT would be a sufficient summary of the problem....

Yes, I replaced it because I realized there is nothing wrong with original scanned artwork and it cropped by Instagram. 

Now, given other people can't read the parent comment here, consider this a quick FYI.  Since FAC does not have a built-in notifications system, how quickly I can reply tends to be limited by how often I check my email.  Which is unfortunate, but regardless, never assume that if I don't respond quickly I must be ignoring someone.
