awoljeeHi 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.

http://www.fanart-central.net/pictures/user/TeeJay87/864300/Donkey-Jihad
As you can see from the thread this attack doesn't make much sense and comes across as threatening.

StratadrakeYou 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"?

awoljee on November 6, 2021, 6:12:00 AM

awoljeeNever mind. Clearly no one here wants to moderate the place so I'm done.

StratadrakeWere 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.

TeeJay87Speaking 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.

StratadrakeThere 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.


Stratadrake on November 16, 2021, 1:39:22 PM

StratadrakeFor 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.

TeeJay87 on November 17, 2021, 2:58:53 AM

TeeJay87 on
TeeJay87It'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.

awoljee on November 6, 2021, 5:41:38 AM

awoljeeThere 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 on
TeeJay87As 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.

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

Stratadrake on October 9, 2020, 11:26:02 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeWhat 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.

SailorSeiyaDigiJem on October 9, 2020, 11:36:08 AM

SailorSeiyaDigiJem on
SailorSeiyaDigiJemThe 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.

SailorSeiyaDigiJem on October 9, 2020, 11:41:36 AM

SailorSeiyaDigiJem on
SailorSeiyaDigiJemJust wanted the thumbnail looks exactly like the artwork that I posted here. 

Stratadrake on October 9, 2020, 11:54:01 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeAgain, 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....

SailorSeiyaDigiJem on October 9, 2020, 12:13:42 PM

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

StratadrakeNow, 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.

AllySaurusSo I'm not sure who else to contact or if you're an administrator or not and I was just taking a guess, but I noticed that my recent and only submitted picture has been in queue for 2 days now. I'm just wondering how long do I have to wait for it to be approved for submission? I could send the ID number if needed. 

Stratadrake on April 29, 2019, 11:16:20 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeYou're correct on all counts.  I recently changed my password and have been having some trouble remembering it.  The approval queue got a little backed up for 2-3 days, but by now it's cleared.

Stratadrake on May 15, 2018, 5:34:05 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeAre you referring to submission #856354 (Skully Commission) ?

You should have brought this to my attention earlier (as suggested by every reject notice I filed for it).  NOBODY has given me any information yet about this 'missing category' bug and it's literally impossible for me to research (much less fix!) the problem WITHOUT INFO to go on.

Anyway.

According to your latest description of it, you were picking the category "Cartoons > Other not listed" at submission time?

The bug is that certain categories (this likely among them) are not appearing on the approval CP at all, the field is literally blank (and attempts to mod-edit the submission show it having no category at all either).

Aside: There is no need to add that to your piece's Description to comment about the approval process -- in fact I never even noticed it until now because it was rejected on ground other than its description.

I really need to start diving back into the FAC codebase again because now that I have a testcase I can start figuring out what the heck is going wrong.  I already checked the category info on its own terms and didn't see any problems....

In the meantime, I've given the piece an approval, but I still need more info from you:  Edit the piece and select the category again.  Does it stay when you go back to view the submission?  Whether it does or not will give me clues where the problem is actually occurring internally.

Remnant on
RemnantHey Strats.

It's been a while since I popped in here for any reasons, but I am an old-time user of this site and wanted to ask if something was possible. I figured anything is possible if you are hosting and backing up information from the site. Although, this would have been so long ago, I wouldn't be surprised if what I am looking for would have been purged long before now.

Back in the day, my username was quake0099, and for some reason, I deleted that account a long time ago. For nostalgia purposes, I am looking to re-access some of the things that were on there. I have tried the Internet Wayback Machine with no luck, so I was wondering if it would be possible to re-activate a profile or to reclaim some of the data from it.

Shoot me a reply when you get the chance.

Thank you.

Stratadrake on February 7, 2018, 12:38:26 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeNo, we do not currently have any functions (even at admin level) for re-activating a deleted account or un-deleting submissions.

nbluueHi there,

A bug I have just recently noticed regarding the forums is an inability to login when already logged in on the main site. It proposes a SQL query issue - not sure if that's your game, but it could be considered a bug.

By the way, I've not been an active user on this site for ten years - it's interesting to see that you're still in practice as admin.

Stratadrake on September 22, 2017, 5:08:39 PM

StratadrakeThis is, unfortunately, a known bug which is mostly related to the use of IPv6 addresses (such as yours).  There is no fix.

StratadrakeUltimately, the fact is we don't have a policy on the matter of group/shared accounts.  At all.  It's uncharted territory for us; the implied rule has always been that FAC accounts are personal (limit one user) accounts and this kind of issue has basically never been raised or discussed before.  (By the way, thanks for taking time to discuss this.)

But a general rule of thumb (from our perspective) is, if you're allowed to upload work created by basically anyone, how is that different from any other image-hosting site?

thingyno rudeness but thats kinda bull crap cake making up the most dump stuff just to be right 

Battou on February 25, 2017, 6:17:20 PM

Battou on
BattouUm....No, that has been in the ToS for years, Strata isn't making anything up simply to be right. Fact of the matter here is the matter of shared accounts and actually Strata is mistaken and this has been discussed on one previous occasion many years ago. One of the primary debated elements was the fact of abuse potential. Sudden shifts in user style and skill level is one of the preliminary flags in abuse checks on this site. Having a user with regular shifts in style will cause issues with our screening process. Another issue is...well....the event of a break up. Yeah, that produces a plethora of problems with shared accounts so I am not going to go into details on that one. As for display of familial imagery, like things drawn by siblings, spouses ect who do not have accounts, it was decided many years ago that this was not permissible and that cases like that, the creating artist should create an account of their own.

However, there are concessions in the ToS for collaboration works which is what this event sounds like. Collaboration works are permitted however they need to be appropriately credited along with documentation of what part the submitting user played in the creation of the work. In this case the description simply states "above art done by my gf " which constitutes work done by another artist under the ToS and is not permissible.

Long and short, you need to document collaborations clearly in the description box provided.

StratadrakeAs a site, it is our right and privilege to set rules for what we will or will not allow for submission.  And the core underlying rules for our submission policy (the wording of which may be outdated, but nontheless) have basically never changed: Your work only, no photos, no porn, cite specific sources as used.

However, in the case of #853195 I can verify it was held for review based on the category you submitted it to (Tutorials).  I would have rejected it for that reason alone (but with the ability to resubmit), however I got confused as I read the description.

StratadrakeWhy do you think contests might not be allowed?  Users are always free to post ideas for other users to compete over.  Our forum layout has always included a section for this (though, due to IPv6 related bugs not everyone can necessarily access the forums).

StratadrakeUnfortunately this is a known bug in the forums coding and we simply have no fix.  It seems related to users browsing from an IPv6 address (which you seem to be).  The forum software is supposed to be IPv6 aware, but it's really coded around IPv4 and from the SQL dump you may notice it is attempting to log an IPv6 address in a field intended exclusively for IPv4.

Stratadrake on January 23, 2017, 4:22:38 PM

StratadrakeOne option is: you might be able to configure your wireless adapter to only use IPv4 protocols (most routers are configured to use both).

StratadrakeIt depends on the original image that was edited -- e.g. there is no rule against editing something YOU created yourself -- your work your right to do that.

This being said, editing/plaigarizing an image that was taken off somebody else's work (especially commercial work, such as anime/cartoons/etc.) is definitely not allowed here, but if you are going to report a user then we need to be able to identify the source material that was borrowed/edited from.

StratadrakeWhen you are logged in (and you are), near the upper right corner of the screen, next to your username and avvie there is a button labelled 'submit'.  Hover over it to see the options.  Note that our submission process is designed with desktops/laptops (keyboard and mouse) in mind and as such may not necessarily be tablet/smartphone compatible.

MrSquiggles1993Hello I'm new here. I have uploaded a Drawing & it still pending approval, this is taking a whole day now what is wrong with it?

Stratadrake on November 5, 2016, 6:48:37 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeNaturally, the approval panel relies on FAC staff actively reviewing it from time to time.  We currently have just two users doing this (myself and Battou), and between us we probably review it maybe 5-6 times a week.  So while we can generally process something within the same day, sometimes things pile up for longer before we review the queue.

For your submission #852086, I've processed it for now but I will warn that image files exceeding certain sizes (such as width, height, and/or total megapixels) are always held for manual review by AP staff, even if it would otherwise have been processed automatically.  And while the exact threshold varies depending on the nature of the image, who is on duty (and how lenient we feel) at the time, in general, if your image file exceeds 4-5 megapixels you can expect to receive a rejection message about it.

Generally speaking, it is not good practice to submit original-full-resolution scans/photos of your artwork to the Internet -- you should keep those on your personal storage (local backup or private cloud storage) and compile secondary copies that have been resized smaller so that they can be viewed at 100% size on a typical display resolution (usually less than 2000px wide).

MrSquiggles1993 on November 7, 2016, 6:20:38 PM

Stratadrake on July 14, 2016, 9:41:13 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeSo to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, you mean artwork created from/using said bases?

For a quick compare-contrast, we do not allow 'generator' or 'dollmaker' type submissions -- defined by the generator providing most or ALL of the components/resources present in the final result, with no actual artistic effort (i.e. production) from the end user.

If you have (i.e. can cite) permission to use a base image/work to modify and create a work of your own from, it does not matter whether the base image is traditional or digital in nature.  Conceptually, this is no different from an explicit collaboration between two (or more) artists, therefore the same ground rules apply -- which is basically to cite a URL to the page of the original image.  As long as we can verify that, it's usually pretty easy to tell when the artist created that image with this purpose in mind.

Lalondey on July 15, 2016, 10:53:14 PM

Lalondey on
LalondeyI think so and alright.

StratadrakeIf that image is accurate, that could qualify as a copyright infringement ... however, if that is the case I would definitely need a link to where it was posted on FAC and not just a screenshot showing a side-by-side comparison.  I already checked Lucifer's gallery and found only three images, none of which are relevant.

LucifersStardust on May 9, 2016, 10:06:49 AM

LucifersStardust on
LucifersStardustShe hates the fact that I have used a parody known as memes on my deviantart. My meme's are usually backed with facts of her past attitude and judging from the looks of how this is going, she really hasn't learned much from the past. you're not the first or the only person to have told her to just block/ignore me (not only myself but other people who have made parodies of her as well) but she will make double accounts just to harass the people who parody her and her artwork. I don't post these things here on FAC, because I understand that she has a problem with parodies and I know that it's risky business to begin with, hence why my piece that I actually drew depicting a parody of her entire attitude and her character was taken down. So I don't really post any of those things here on the website.

So I've noticed that Erin/Elizabeth is still wishing to harass me by making this journal:
http://www.fanart-central.net/user/Elizabeth-Fan/blogs/17054/MESSAGE-TO-LUCIFERSTARDUST
and made a list of her enemies where apparently I've been name dropped

LucifersStardust on May 11, 2016, 3:50:34 PM

LucifersStardust on
LucifersStardustYes they are indeed on my deviantART account since I didn't wish to get into anymore trouble or disturb the princess with my rights as a human being to draw, but seeing as how one image I made sent her off the edge and a mod removed it since it appeared to be causing an issue, not that I'm mad or displeased with it, I know you guys have a job and rules to apply, however just disappointed in the fact as to how far Elizabeth is taking it and claiming that I should repent to "atone" for my sins, despite of her own sins where she titles everything in a curse word and makes journals either to harass people like myself or send death threats.
I'm so sorry that you're just another pawn to Erin/Elizabeth that she thought she could use against me to take away my freedom of speech in an attempt to stop me from doing parodies of her and the behavior she displays. This is just one of the many reasons why she has an E.D. page. Although the article is filled with satire, her behavior and the evidence of it is all based on events that took place either on deviantART and/or other websites that she's displayed them on. Thank you for being as patient as you have been within this situation, there should be more people like you and again, I'm sorry that you had to go through all that. Take care and have a good one~

CrystalizedHopeWhat did I ever do to deserve to be your enemy?...Stratadrake can clearly see the comment Lucifer made without your screenshot, as no one here has the power but Stratadrake to hide comments the comments on their profile, so it looks really childish of you to spam such nonsense. Also you're starting to cuss people out, right on a moderators profile, which will be easily seen as an offense of harassment, as for the journals you made, they are targeting and name dropping journals. Which I have high hopes that they will be removed. plus you're posting in the public, so you trying to tell people to "buzz off" isn't going to happen so easily, especially since you are causing unnecessary drama that needs to be taken care of on DEVIANTART not on FAC, seeing that Lucifer has stopped posting here and you forced them to come back, because you harassed them.

This is clearly your own fault and your own undoing. You are even sending them death threats using the links that you provided in your journals. I'm sorry Erin, but after discovering what you've been doing I have decided that I no longer wish to help you draw anything. I will do what the wise people have mentioned that I should do and that is to block you.

StratadrakeYou reported this before, but our stance on the matter hasn't changed any.  If she drew the artwork, it does not qualify as (and cannot be reported for) image theft.  Likewise, if she properly credited the character's creator/owner, then it does not qualify as character theft/plagiarism.

And ... IIRC, you reported this piece before for basically the same reason, which usually means you'll just get the same answer all over again.  If there haven't been any new developments, you won't get a new verdict.

StratadrakeUnfortunately we basically can't help with this.  The version of phpbb we run the forums on is so old nobody will offer support for it anymore.  It is SUPPOSED to be IPv6-compatible, but without actually taking a look at the code the site forums actually run on (which was slightly modified from stock phpBB2 already) we can't really investigate it ourselves either.

For what it's worth, your comment was indeed posted from an IPv6 address and that seems distinctly related to the error.

MorpherIt's odd cause I've never had or seen this problem until just yesterday. I figured it was a something to do with the forum itself but, you mentioned something about an IPv6 address, how would that potentially cause this error? (Still have no access due to this error continuing to pop up.)

Stratadrake on February 18, 2016, 7:15:25 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIPv6 addresses are 4x as long as IPv4 addresses.  If phpBB2 doesn't recognize IPv6 properly and attempts to force it into a database field built for an IPv4 address only, error.

Morpher on February 19, 2016, 5:27:21 PM

I mean I do come in occasionally and check on things but I'm not a staff member. Hopefully things are going well for you considering the situation at hand.

Also I got to go to a ren faire after how many years since grade school. I happened to see a dragon puppet that was blue with gold trim like a certain icon of yours. Sadly he was pushing $500 otherwise I would have gotten him and sent a picture to you. Afterall the way he was sculpted reminded me of your artstyle.

Stratadrake on October 12, 2015, 7:06:40 PM

StratadrakeAh, I see those are two pictures I am aware of currently.  I am still not sure whether to draw the line -- as I said on one of them, if it's judged to be hate/attack art then it is getting removed; if it's not, it falls under artistic speech and can stay.

SweetxinsanityxSarahGiven the situation at hand, it's disguised as artistic speech but it is attacking someone. I would say remove the picture and all signs of the fight to keep it from escalating and put them both in a corner. Also keep in mind to onlookers I'm a neutral party. I'm not taking sides I just want the fight to go away. There's something called the block button folks, use it.

StratadrakeGuys, if I may point out that posting images on your profile page is NOT governed by the same terms as your gallery submissions are required to follow.  A.k.a. claims of "art theft" do NOT necessarily apply here, users are generally allowed to post whatever images they wish.

This being said, the image in question is clearly causing some issues with other users, so I am going to remove it for now.

StratadrakeThis is just an FYI -- as you can see from the posts below, I've taken the liberty of culling several comments from my page here. I can still access them (via staff tools) when I need to. The situation surrounding them is not considered resolved, however.

StratadrakeAutism isn't one specific disorder so much as an entire class of disorders.  It has degrees and variations and so forth.

And, unfortunately, learning disabilities (of any sort) and short tempers seem to coincide with each other.

CharadeIts OK that you lost your temper and did bad. You don't have to say everything was an accident. Just be like "Yeah man, I got pissed and did some dumb things, my bad." Everyone does from time to time. No shame in admiting it.

CharadeThat actully makes a lot of sence! I'd have to agree with drake, though. Don't break the rules of the site over it. Maybe you could confide and vent to a friend instead? Or air greivances is a less intrusive way then spam? 

I know now first hand it can be hard to wrap your mind around a neruological disorder and controll it at time. I think that being able to vent to someone could help.

StratadrakeYeah, you do seem pretty quick to go hot-headed.  Sometimes it can help to just put the computer down and walk away for awhile, then return to it later (such as the next day) with a cool head.

In my case, it probably helps I was born the middle child in my family, a social position that favors being calm and cool-headed.

As for the subject of autism ... I personally believe the condition is over-diagnosed and over-medicated, but that's not important because I have no practical use for the lay opinion.  And heck, I probably meet half the criteria for some degree of it myself....

a23spyroWhy aren't people simply blocking her? Some of these people actually knew what she was like before she came on here, so like me I blocked her right away. Are people actually waiting for her to make the wrong move so that they have an excuse to get her banned? I'm not sticking up for her, I know what she's done and it's disgusting, but it doesn't seem right to just let her comment on something or someone's artwork, knowing what will happen down the road. By blocking her, she can't express her anger at all towards anyone! Maybe it will help her cool down eventually, I don't know. 

Stratadrake on September 15, 2015, 6:04:27 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeEveryone has their good and bad days.  While I was looking through her comment history there I did find some comments that did not provoke arguments, and a few comments that were even positive in tone (and I'm talking "top-level" comments, not replies).  I made sure to review each page to catch the context/conversation in which they were posted, too.

Ultimately, the matter of blocking is a personal preference.  Some people are quick to block, sometimes you block someone pre-emptively, and some people (like me) prefer to avoid blocking.  (And I'm not saying that just because I have a mod/admin position; my blocklists on dA and FA are virtually empty too.)

a23spyro on September 15, 2015, 6:30:58 PM

a23spyro on
a23spyroWell, for me, blocking or disabling the comments prevents hate speech. Not necessarily because of bashing on my content or me. I can handle that. But it’s to prevent hate speech against individuals in the comment section, especially if it’s a child. Some person might come along, say something mean, and then I’m liable for it because I should’ve been there to stop that from happening. Now, there’s an emotionally scarred person that might commit suicide or something and that could get me into trouble. There have been cases of that, too. That’s just one of the reasons why I would block somebody whom I’ve seen multiple times say things that cause people to lose their heads (not in a literal sense). I don’t know, I’m just being cautious. But, in all honesty, I hope Erin grows into a better person

StratadrakeOn the one hand, parody is a protected form of free speech and is NOT subject to claims about copyright violation.

On another, we do not want to encourage "hate art" in galleries.

And, of course, there is also the claim that you provoked this with your own behavior, in which case it's safe to call it comeuppance.

I don't like complicated decisions like this.  (Not that doing a mod delete is a complicated action, but the decision of whether to take that action at all is another matter.)  For now, I'll confer with our other staff first.

StratadrakeYes, FAC definitely does need some active code/feature development again.  Unfortunately I've been out of the coding loop for a long time, and the current codebase was implemented solo by cstdenis (for now I can only assume it's stored in the SVN repository where I can check out a copy sometime), which means a lot of learning before anything significant can be done.

luckylace222As stated by other members, "Delete My Account" does not truly delete the account. I just made a mock account, tried to delete, and I could log in like normal. However, when I look up my mock username on Google with "fanart centralm" there are no results. Usually, I can at least see one link linking to a fanart central account. Maybe deleting makes your account hidden from the other world but not within Fanart Central?

Stratadrake on September 16, 2013, 8:40:41 AM

StratadrakeThe simplest explanation would be submitting to a monitored category.  "Games > Other Not Listed" (along with several other "Not Listed" type categories) are currently set to require stricter (or mandatory) staff approval.

Stratadrake on March 13, 2013, 11:29:16 AM

StratadrakeIt's actually a character limit, not a word limit -- a.k.a. no more than a total of 255 individual letters, spaces, and/or punctuation.  (If the average word is 5 characters long, this effectively means 50 words or less.)

XOAyeeEhmBeeOXHey Stratadrake. I have a question. I joined FAC originally back in.. idk about 2006 maybe? With my original account "Bombgirl" and I'm almost positive you had banned it for something.. I don't remember why. But I had all of my drawings on that account that I don't have physically anymore. I was wondering if there was any way you could un-ban the account just so I can get my pictures off of it. It would mean a lot to me if you could. Or somehow get them yourself off of the account and E-mail them to me? I'm not too sure what exactly you can do but it would mean a lot to me if you could try to do something.

Stratadrake on December 13, 2012, 1:27:37 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIf that username (Bombgirl) is correct the account is marked as deleted (not banned) and there are no lingering picture IDs (much less actual submitted pictures) still associated with it.  Can't help you at all, sorry.

Remember, you are the one ultimately responsible for securing/retaining backup copies of any material you submit to websites.  If stuff happens ... then stuff happens.

StratadrakeNo going back, sorry.  The new version is pretty much a complete rewrite of all the internals, which was badly needed.

We're aware that there's only one theme right now (the 2.0 Silver) and it's missing the blue (3.0 Zellers) theme - we may bring something like it back in a future update as a visual theme only.

We do have a forum topic available to discuss the matter, provided you can keep things civil:

StratadrakeCurrently it only picks from within the last two weeks (this keeps them rotating); if there just aren't many submissions to the site, there aren't many to choose from.

luckylace222 on
luckylace222Does the Popular Works only accept submissions that have reached a certain number of favs/views? -Because I have approved much more than 5 pictures over the past 2 weeks, and not even those show up as the lowest popular work.

Stratadrake on October 17, 2012, 4:14:53 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeI don't remember the specific algorithm, but it does:
- sort by a rough combination of # faves and votes (which needs refinement)
- exclude Featured pics (they'll become popular anyway, by virtue of being Featured)
- limit 1 most-popular per user (avoids flooding by one popular user)
- reflect individual content filter levels
- limit last two weeks

...the last is really just a hack to prevent it from taking too long to generate the list.

Stratadrake on July 14, 2012, 2:26:58 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeAn animated GIF, correct? Well, for starters please ensure that it does not exceed the maximum avatar size (64x64), because our avvie-resizing code has a tendency to remove animations.

My-MelodyHi Strata. I logged on not too long ago and [url="http://i47.tinypic.com/2sb0tg1.jpg"]found this error.[/url] Also, the gallery section is not working because of this error. I'm not sure if it's happening to me only, but just to be on the safe side can you check to see what's up? Thanks.

Sister_PanikkI have a question,
Are you able to make back up accounts and still be able to use the one you're already on while the new one is still up and running?

Stratadrake on May 12, 2012, 2:03:23 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeOne account per user is the rule. Creating "alt" or "backup" accounts is not recommended, for historical (mostly troll-related) reasons.

Sister_Panikk on May 12, 2012, 2:04:46 AM

Sister_Panikk on
Sister_PanikkAlright thank you because I've been witnessing multiple accounts by the same user on here. But thank you for answering my question.

Stratadrake on May 12, 2012, 2:06:43 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeI'm curious who. If they are causing a problem we will terminate the duplicate names.

Sister_Panikk on May 12, 2012, 2:09:01 AM

Sister_Panikk on
Sister_PanikkIt's the fact that the accounts aren't deleted but they're still up. I mean I find it annoying.

Stratadrake on May 12, 2012, 2:10:32 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeWell, if they're only "still up" and not actively being used then technically that's against rules, but it's not a priority like if they're actively using them to exploit the system (get around blocklists, etc.) .

Stratadrake on February 22, 2012, 1:24:51 AM

StratadrakeThat would be caused by a failure to initialize the category box. Try checking your browser's Javascript console and let me know if there are any warnings/errors that occur when loading the submissions page.

StratadrakeThe "Internet Comics" category is monitored to make sure people don't try to use it for self-published (original) comics. As for the picture itself, Spy vs Spy actually isn't an Internet based comic (but we don't have a category for it yet), so as noted use the Other Comics heading instead.

It was not a stolen image, it was no "adult" material. a far as i know it didn't break any rules so why wasn't it accepted?

Stratadrake on June 16, 2011, 2:36:16 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeAccording to the other pages in your submissions log, #807687 was processed and rejected on the grounds of a large image size (1100x1600). This is a fairly common (and minor) thing; it's generally good practice to size your image so that it fits within a typical screen resolution at full view.

NickyHello, May i ask why not remove the fan work validation system and replace it with new submission review system?

Like new submission is instantly uploaded like old times, and staff members review them in "newest submissions" tab or something like that ^^

it's painful to wait days or even weeks before my piece of art gets validated

Stratadrake on May 10, 2011, 2:08:30 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIt is a matter of principle, about whether or not the submission itself should be publically viewable (and commentable, fav-able, etc.) before site staff have had a chance to review it.

Nicky on May 10, 2011, 2:44:19 AM

Nicky on
Nickythen i think the staff needs a bit of "Motivation" if you wish to say it that way XD

Maybe like a footnote that says Reviewed and Validated by Staff ______

that will make a better connection between the staff and the artists =3

chebboHi I just joined, but when I tried to login to the forums it would not allow me access. I thought maybe I had typed in my password wrong, so I tried to get it re sent and then it said my account is inactive.

How can I re activate my account? Do I need to register again with a new user name?

Very confusing

KakaSakuLovehello there :)

my friend told me my art should be submitted as a featured picture or something like that...

i was wondering how that process worked? or who decided who the featured artist and featured pictures and stuff were?

thanks

StratadrakeWe have a thread on the forums for that. Featured works are picked by site staff occasionally when we review the thread.

TheMirrorsTruthI know once a comment is left on a page, it's there forever, no matter if it's deleted. And only you can view it.

But is the same applied to deleted profiles? I mean, as in the pictures and stories still archived, but us not able to see it. Or is it simply gone forever? Even to you?

TheMirrorsTruthI was curious about a certain story which I read a long time ago. 2005, I believe. It was well written and one of my favorites. But the user deleted his profile, and the story was lost. I believe it was called "Don't Leave Me Alone" by the user Leviathin

it says that my account its inactive ...
and in the FAQ you said something about that:
'' * Inactive forumside account - Site administrators have the ability to mark individual accounts as either "active" or "inactive" on the forums. However, only a site administrator has access to this setting, which is another reason you'd need to contact us. ''
So if you can help me to active my account i would really apreciate it.

StratadrakeIt is not recommended to go toe-to-toe with a troll. That's precisely what they want (more attention), and harassing them back only brings you down to "their level".

And there is nothing funny about the picture honestly, it's highly offensive. And just because I defend myself and don't find the picture funny, does not make me a troll. And indeed, you ARE the real fire starter here.

StratadrakeLet me see what I can find in our logs. First, let me get these out of the way....

1 - If your profile page blurb was changed then unless it was cached or stored somewhere else (like a search engine), the previous contents are strictly non-recoverable. We do not keep any "edit history" logs of profile pages.

2 - If someone else has gained login access to your account, changing your account password should be a priority. Even if they get a login cookie, changing your account password will break it.

At this time, all I can dig up is that between 7:30 and 8:30 today, there were seven comments posted from your username, from an IP address not otherwise associated with your account. All of them wrapped in bold/italic/color tags and definitely of trolling nature.

XKurateaXWell I was wondering when it comes to putting up pics that we use as our avatars, why is it that GIF images that we use as avatars have to be a certain size in order for them to show the animation on the image such as movement, etc.?

Stratadrake on November 25, 2010, 11:02:57 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeImages larger than the size limit will be resized by force; if the file was an animated GIF, the resizing process destroys its animation layer.

ZukoinfernoI made the site remember my password on Safari, so it's never really "logged me off". It's really confusing, I know... I do know that some loltroll hacked me though, cause he put something in my favorites that wasn't there before.

StratadrakeActually, we do have a log that records changes in email/passwords, we just need a tool to review it....

StratadrakeNope, I still don't buy it.

If somebody succeeded in changing your FAC password, then any "remember me" login cookies would become immediately invalidat, and you would be unable to log in to your FAC account at all. Do you understand?

Have you already attempted the password recovery feature?

StratadrakeWow, is your opinion of drugs ... on drugs.

Besides, I see you are also throwing around the word "autistic" as if it's the new "gay", as if "gay" is the new "stupid". Where ever did you learn such talk? You're not contributing to the community with this and you've been blocked by almost a dozen users within your first week here. If that doesn't spell "trolling" with a capital T, it at least spells "harassment" with a capital H.

Your right to free speech ends when used to insult or harass other users, and we have zero tolerance when it comes to alternate accounts registered by proxy for repeat trolls.

If you do not contribute to the community, you should have asked whether it was worth your time to register here in the first place, or if another site would be a better venue for it. If you came here looking to cause trouble, you will find yourself kicked out, and the door slammed in your face.

StratadrakeApologies in advance that I am going to be blunt.

Your submission contains the internationally recognized symbol for "I'm here solely to cause trouble". It was obviously assembled in something along the lines of MS Paint using the pencil tool, flood fill, and copy/paste. I could possibly cite you for failing to provide documentation that you have any permission to incorporate "trollface" and my avatar as compositional elements in the work. On top of it all, the entire message of the work is very suspicious. What "investigation"? It sounds intended as a direct criticism of something I said, which if it is, carries an allegation that you are not a genuine newbie but possibly a former user attempting to retaliate for their ban.

In other words, if you think you're trying to play a game with the site, stop it because it won't end pretty.

Hey!

I think you should spearhead an effort to get more people to join this site! I'm running out of new people to annoy...er.. talk to on here. Maybe you could start spending a minimum of 9 hours a day on omegle telling people to join? Or start taking chalk everywhere you go and writing "Fanart Central" on people's driveways... well something along those lines. IDK

StratadrakeIf you think your account was 'cracked' then the first thing to consider is changing your password. Including your email password (because FAC can and will mail your password to that address if somebody requests it).

As for the text on your profile page, sorry but that is non-recoverable. Only the "current" copy of your profile text is actually stored in the database, we do not keep a log of previous edits. (I have learned this the hard way too :( )

Stratadrake on September 14, 2010, 1:54:53 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeThe 3-per-day limit has been in place for over five years; if I recall correctly it was to encourage artists to be their own quality control. It is occasionally annoying for new users or anyone else with a backlog of content to submit, but on average, it works out well enough.

autumnskiesHello, Strata.

I can't seem to access my PMs. When I say that, I mean I can't log into them.

I've typed my log in info correctly countless times, but apparently I'm still an inactive user or one that doesn't exist. I know I'm active, because I come on everyday.

If i were to delete my account, can i get a new one with the same user name? cause i wanna start over with my art :P

Stratadrake on August 15, 2010, 2:59:03 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeNo. Once a username is registered it is "taken" and cannot be assigned to a new account.

If you really want to wipe all of your art submissions (though personally I just don't get why), that will have to be done manually.

Only_OneHello, My submission got rejected for the wrong reasons, and im quiet unpleased and unhappy with it. one of your admin's rejected my artwork THAT I COLORED. that i have the PSD files for. Because they thought it was 'found off the internet'.

It was a collab between me and my friend, he did the inks and i colored it. It is MY artwork and im quiet upset with this. You guys allowed me to post a picture before that was a collab. Why not now? Lol

StratadrakeI've mentioned this in our AP staff thread. Honest mistakes do occasionally happen....

On a semi-related note, when doing a collab with other artists, please include the URL to their work when possible.

In the meantime you will simply have to resubmit.

Only_One on August 11, 2010, 4:23:19 AM

Only_One on
Only_OneAlright, thats understandable.

Thank you So much for helping me on this, and i re-submitted it. sorry if i seemed to have a attitude. I was a bit upset over thinking that someone thought i'd steal artwork and stuff. ^^;

Stratadrake on July 30, 2010, 3:19:01 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakedA is very successful, yes. They offer commercial services, have different advertising partners..., heck, they can even afford to pay their staff members.

I hear that even FAC's adult counterpart (Hentai Foundry) is much more successful than FAC itself, even though the site has basically the same look, features (and, yes, bugs) as FAC. It no doubt has a better, more mature userbase with fewer trolls and problem users. I don't know for sure because I do not operate an account there.

I am no fan of our current advertising methods myself, considering that those ads popping up when you click random links also interfere with staff functions.

And I, for myself, have never advertised FAC outside of placing a link to my FAC account in my sig.

Stratadrake on July 13, 2010, 3:08:37 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeAre you sure it's her password and not her email? In other words, are you quoting the error message word-for-word? It is very important to quote error messages exactly as stated, otherwise I might end up giving the wrong kind of help and that won't fix the problem.

You can also have her contact me by email. (BUT!) Make sure the email subject line includes "FAC" or something like that so I know to identify it and not just let it get thrown out with all the spam.

Stratadrake on July 1, 2010, 1:47:08 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeYou are missing the point.

FAC site policy has always stated "limit one account per user" and operating multiple accounts is not permitted. This is not, and never has been, a negotiable term in FAC site rules; it is something you agreed to follow when you signed up on this site.

You yourself have demonstrated exactly why we have this rule in the first place: Because people use it to abuse the system.

If we have to suspend a user, it is targetted at the actual person, and this means that any user found to be operating multiple accounts will have all their accounts treated equally in order to prevent abuse.

soraXriku on June 30, 2010, 5:02:29 PM

soraXriku on
soraXrikuDon't see why I'm not allowed to have 2 accounts, when this one has been hacked numerous times, and still has been.

Also, no offense here, but you've probably had the same web host since 2004, if I'm not mistaken.

StratadrakeIf you'll pardon the sarcasm, you can always look up a dictionary if you need to know what a word means.

That aside, yes, being able to simply shut up and walk away from an argument rather than escalating it ("know when to fold 'em", so to speak), is a good skill.

StratadrakeIf you're not receiving emails from FAC, first check the settings on your FAC profile and your email provider. Try adding bounce@fanart-central.net to your "safe list" to tell the mail service it isn't spam, and see if that makes a difference.

I don't always get my notifications either, sometimes they are delayed by up to 24 hours.

StratadrakeDon't work? Why and how? If you're encountering a problem one of the first things you can do is ask a site staff member for help, we have a better idea about what could be causing it.

Multiple accounts are not that much of a problem by themself, but they do become a problem in the event of rule violations (especially those that result in suspensions or bans).

StratadrakeIn your case, it's because you need to re-validate your email address. Make sure you can receive email from FAC, because if the mail server refused the notification it's possible that FAC flagged your email as invalid.

TheChainheartMachineStormcall did nothing to get in trouble. She was only watching Zane and making comments on what happened, once in a while.

Damn. Everyone says she's a troll, even though she hasn't done anything to get banned. She just watches and comments.


Stormcall hasn't done anything wrong. Most people are just angered by Zane.

StratadrakeI once suspended a user for trolling, their comments happened to include the phrase. Naturally, they told all their friends about it in the meantime, and decided that it would be fun to spam my page with it just to see how I'd react.

StratadrakeBut I must stress that they were not suspended because of using the word, they were suspended for trolling other users.

StratadrakeFAC reserves the right to screen any submissions for approval before they are made publically available. This is not always necessary, however, so users who have been around for some time are usually given 'auto' status meaning we do not believe they need to be screened.

I remember the art theft senario when she accused me of stealng art, i have done nothing to this user at all. i wouldn't even do this to any user here on FAC.

I would like to have this problem fixed, if i can gain my old account again i will deactivate this one and go back on to 'supermad'.

Thank you.

Here:

As you she isn't very smart, so she made it even SOUND like her, I mean supermad's spelling is much better than hers, take a look at some of her comments if you need proof.

Twilightwolf94Here, as you can see the colour of the text is EXACTLY the same, and the terrible grammar is also the same:




She is currently under the guise of perfect princess, and the accounts that StarCaster (or the account supermad had to make to report her) have mentioned

Twilightwolf94 on April 1, 2010, 6:32:40 PM

Twilightwolf94And I almost fogot the links to her other accounts, the proof their her's is simple, look at the grammer and those song words on nightfang

and cookiemuncher has terrible grammer and it's written in hot pink like perfectprincess and you should look at the simlar comments between those two

Anyways, hhere are the links to the profiles:

I can't take any action without some concrete proof to make a case. It may be sad to hear this, but I don't know that I can trust you on just your word against theirs. Certain people can, will, and HAVE lied to the admin just to see if they can get away with it, and when it comes to reports and removals we can't take that chance.

If they really did upload one of your pictures, yes that is a violation of FAC submission policy, but in the meantime also consider that you should be signing your work before scanning/uploading it so that it can be identified as yours later on.

ZonadowKudos on the job here though. I originally left here to join dA but after 2 years of bullshoot I re-joined on FAC and I love it. The administrators on DeviantART seem to thrive off of drAma and trolls and are very stuck-up.
The admins here seem more professional than stuck-up.

Stratadrake on March 7, 2010, 12:48:12 AM

StratadrakeWe have only four administrators: cstdenis, Battou, unfocused, and myself. And we each have our critics....

I've never had much of a problem with dA's admins, but I don't actually know them so I have no experience on the matter to speak from.

Zonadow on March 7, 2010, 10:42:28 AM

ZonadowWould you be offended if I asked you if you had a persona of some kind?
I had an idea to poke a little fun at people treating admins like deities, and drawing you pointing at a various user and firing a sparkling blue ban laser. XD
Because I swear, people tend to treat administrators like deities instead of normal human beings, like if they hug an admin they'll have a giant ban laser fired at them.

Stratadrake on March 6, 2010, 2:03:07 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeWell, internally we use a unique numeric ID to identify each user (yours would be #94352). So if we changed your username this would not affect, say, whether you're acknkowledged as the owner of your submissions, who your Favorite artists (or Fans) are, who'se blocked you, etc.

However, the actual image files your submitted are are stored according to your actual username, and THAT would be critically affected if you changed it. All your submissions would suddenly appear broken and have to be re-uploaded.

That's really the only major technical hurdle. Aside from that the reason we don't already allow username changes is that it could be easily abused; say Alice changes her username to Bob, but then Charlie changes his username to Alice. See the problem? We would need some measure to prevent the "old" username from being hijacked by someone else after a switch.

But that creates another problem: say that Diego registers an account, then decides to change his name to Ernie, then Ferdinand, then George, then Harley. All those usernames have now been 'taken', which blocks the real Ferdinand, George, and Harley from registering their names.

These are both serious problems that could be easily abused. If we implemented the ability to change usernames, it would have to be an administrative level power to prevent abuse.

StratadrakeThere were several pre-existing complaints about that user's behavior, which was part of the reason why he was banned for what otherwise might have been viewed as harmless.

For now I will just summarize the following points:
1 - Attempting to imitate the behavior of another troll or banned user, even as a joke, can be a bannable offense itself.
2 - Deleting a comment doesn't stop site staff from posting replies to it.
3 - Terminating your own account doesn't stop site admins from processing a ban against you.

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeLet's see, you filed it under "Miscellaneous > Surrealism", correct? Surrealism is/was an actual, historical genre of artwork that you can look up on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrealism

As with all historical art movements and philosophies it is hard to define in concrete terms, however Salvador Dali is probably the best known Surrealist artist and therefore his works tend to be synonymous with what Surrealism is.

In the case of your submission, I'm not sure what you mean by "p-e" unit but you might consider the "Fantasy -> Sci-Fi" category for submission.

(AP staff really should suggest a category when rejecting pieces for this reason, but that is occasionally forgotten.)

Stratadrake on November 30, 2009, 1:20:29 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeThank you for including the picture ID number.

Judging by what I see, the picture appears to have been removed for failure to comply with Rule Number One of our submission policy. That is to say, we cannot verify the animation was created by you and have reason to believe it was merely reuploaded from somewhere else around the Internet.

FAC is not an image hosting service, we do not permit uploads of random images on our site and will take them down as they are discovered.

TailsLover80 on November 15, 2009, 12:50:34 PM

TailsLover80 on
TailsLover80I have a suggestion for the site, hopefully you could take this into consideration.

I was thinking about making something a tad bit like MySpace. Make a friends list and a Chat box for certain people that you want to talk to privately, to take out the "Private Messaging" system. It can keep things private, people can chat faster, remember who their friends are if they don't remember, and people don't have to stress about things like "I can't log into my Private Messaging account!" or "The messages keep deleting before I can read them!". This could lessen down problems for other users.

I only took thought into this, if you don't consider it, thats fine, just want to share my ideas with you.

Stratadrake on November 15, 2009, 10:03:59 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeThat's a very complicated suggestion. For one, there's a good reason websites like to keep their chat modules on separate servers from the mainsite....

We tried to implement forum PM support on the mainsite in the past but it never worked quite right, so denis decided to scrap it and just have the "PM" link use the forums system. Not a great method....

TailsLover80 on November 16, 2009, 5:57:40 AM

TailsLover80 on
TailsLover80I see. Well thats fine. I just wanted to suggest a few things.

StratadrakeThat's not technically a bug, the "Recent Pictures" box on the mainpage applies a small filter to the items shown there. This was originally an effort to improve the quality of stuff shown on the mainpage, but said filter might actually be too aggressive.

xEdwardxIf you're using Firefox, there is a VERY handy BBcode add-on which formats your text.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/128

For now, install that add-on and use it instead of having to type out tags. Whenever you're typing into a text box, highlight whatever you want to format and right-click and it will pull up the BBCode format window, really convenient.

Hope that helps!

Ya' see, I created a new account, with the intention of deleting the old one [is that possible?] as soon as my friends know that I have changed accounts. Because of this, I'm curious about the approving of pending pictures.

My original account was this: http://www.fanart-central.net/profile-FluffysPrincess2968.php

I know that when first starting out, works take longer to approve. But since I'm more of an experienced member, I'm slightly curious if there would be any changes because of this.

StratadrakeFor example, this picture was one recently nominated for Featuring. We staff haven't officially discussed or voted on it (and, in fact, we rarely do anyway), but while it's definitely a good piece in terms of general skill, I don't think it's all that feature-worthy to me. The reason? I don't like the chin. I know that with anime characters this is something that you can write off as a style issue, but I've seen no shortage of anime chins and even compared to them his chin still looks wrong. I know it's a relatively small flaw compared to the amount of work the artist put into the overall work, but at the same time, his face is a focal point and that makes the chin very obvious to me. I wouldn't be the staff member to feature that. At the same time, if another staff member did I probably wouldn't object (a.k.a. un-feature) it either.

Stratadrake on September 28, 2009, 1:26:06 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeWell, the "Popular Works" panel is chosen by # of faves and/or votes. In theory. Turns out there's a bug in the system that needs fixing before it works right.

The "Featured Pics" are chosen personally by staff members based largely on nominations which are posted in the forums. Generally speaking we look for artists who can produce higher quality work, both in their technical ability (coloring/shading) and their artistic ability (composition), something that doesn't have any very obvious flaws popping out at us within the first 10 seconds of looking at it.

Stratadrake on September 6, 2009, 1:33:09 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIf it's a large image that, the animation is lost as part of the resizing process. You will have to resize the image yourself before uploading.

Doomlord1234I have a quick question: When is the next time you're hiring new Fac Cops?

Stratadrake on May 15, 2009, 12:27:38 AM

StratadrakeShort answer: Never.

Long answer is pretty long.

Doomlord1234 on May 15, 2009, 12:30:32 AM

Doomlord1234 on
Doomlord1234...that doesnt make sense, you hire someone I know out of the blue, but when someone wants to help out his personal "Favorite site", you bomb him with hatred and say no? without even giving him a chance? Man, I knew it, no one cares....

Stratadrake on May 15, 2009, 2:32:36 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeWhoa, slow down. You lost me.

You used the phrase "cop", and the first thing that jumped to my mind was a moderator/administrative position, which are obviously not 'entry-level' occupations. As for regular staffers like the AP staff, we did recently authorize Dark_Angel_Of_Light but that was denis's final decision, not mine.

As for other things such as reporting submission violations, harassment, or other things which need the attention of a staff member anyone is free to do that.

I see no reason I should get suspended just for talking about you to someone else. I am not directly attacking you and frankly it's none of your damn business who me and Mandy talk about.

People talk about each other all the time on here and I don't see you, Strata, issuing them suspensions.

RickAstleySo yeah. I don't see other sites banning members for just speaking their mind. People talk shoot about me constantly and I just turn and walk the other way and ignore them.

It's Jimmy's fault he chose to get involved.

Further more, purplemoonlight006 is right. All I said was "HAHAHAHAHA" to Mandy's comment on his page and that is not harassment.

I started talking to Mandy about Jimmysoul but I WAS NOT harassing him directly. I should have every right to speak my opinions and not be afraid of being banned or suspended.

Jimmy, there's a simple thing to make this all go away, and that's called the Block button.

StratadrakeComments are logged permanently on the server, even if a comment is removed SH can still look it up on a moment's notice. BUT that being said, user profile blurbs are not logged in the same manner, so if you want to report someone's profile info as a violation you're going to need a screenshot accompanying it.

Send an e-mail to support@Fanart-Central.net

In the subject, put Account Closure Request

Then put the username you want to close, the password, why you want it deleted, and a link to your profile.

Do the same for all those accounts you've had.

Not a complaint as such, more of a query. But the most recent person to add me to their 'faves list' ...Well, apparently their account doesn't exist. 'Anonymous user' ~ Every time i click on their icon i'm taken to a white page.

StratadrakeReviewing the submissions now. Yes, they are technically different, but from a thumbnail's perspective this is a pretty difficult thing to spot. The given clothing (jeans/dress/skirt) is absolutely the only difference between the submissions, which is probably where the confusion came from.

I do not see a need to become involved here (and we don't have an "un-reject" function available), but I might suggest that if you want to draw your character in different attire, that you create a completely new sketch for each one rather than simply 'editing' over the previous piece (there is nothing wrong with that when the original is your work, this is just to avoid confusion).

It surfaced in the "Hybrids" category of the "Sonic Fancharacters" (which I am not a fan of). I'm totally sure that the person who submitted it at FAC didn't draw it.

Umm... I've got a problem, three people so far are running around here lying about users, calling people fags, and if you go to the website on Horgh's profile, it has a hate article about Fanart Central.

He has called alot of users, even 12-year-olds and younger users f***tards, flamed people for their art, and even has a "worst artists" list.
They will post screenshots of users disscussing what to do about the website and Horgh.

The other users involved in this website and flaming spree are Edward_Elric_1308, Ravenpelt, and Horgh.

KirbytCheesyC, Edward is not a flamer. He is just ticked of everyone calling him a flamer. He is just making critiques (that are not nice enough) on arts that has flaws or unrecognizable parts.

If I was him on making critiques, I would not say "OMG. WTF?" or "Lrn to draw."

I need to say "Almost nice. But one flaw, that thing is not long enough." Now that is nice and caring.

Hobz_the_destroyerI'm not sure if this is the place i should go, but about a month ago I requested the band "Tokio Hotel" as a catagory, and got no responces...
Is it just being ignored, or does FAC just not want it to be a catagory? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, i'm just a little confused.

SilverDragonFireHello Strata.
I've got a big problem. I logged in and went to check my profile, but it sent me to the profile I had back in Jan. Can you help me figure out what the problem is?
P.S. Your work is out of this world! Keep it up. Thanks!

Xiakeyra on September 20, 2008, 10:04:30 PM

XiakeyraHi Strata,
Is it bad or forbidden to advertize forum contests on people's profiles?
Certain person asked me to help her advertize her contest so that she could get more contestants. I agreed on helping her but someone replied on my profile that I shouldn't advertize like that because it's annoying.
Should I go on advertizing?

Stratadrake on September 21, 2008, 3:20:16 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIt is usually not a problem to advertise a contest on your profile if it is your contest. We don't have a policy for this but as opinion goes I agree, you have no obligations whatsoever to promote somebody else's contests or activities on your profile space.

Xiakeyra on September 22, 2008, 5:19:35 PM

Xiakeyra on
XiakeyraThanks but the problem is that I didn't advertise on my own profile but on other people's profile like this:
http://www.fanart-central.net/profile-mangacheese1818.php
And I did so on at least twenty or thirty users.
Here's my profile where you can see yuai77 asking for my help to advertise her contest which I did willingly and you can also see mangacheese1818 complaining for spamming her profile with yuai77's contest advertisement.
I would like to know if there is any policy to regulate this procedure or at least your opinion.
I think chain letters are rather annoying, however I don't think contest advertisement are. Nonetheless it seems people don't agree with me.

Stratadrake on
Stratadrakehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

Phone camera? I don't think it would be a problem from a policy standpoint, however I would strongly recommend against it. Cameras aren't the right tool for capturing notebook-paper sized drawings at all (poor image contrast and lens distortion among the reasons), with phone cameras the least among them due to their lower image resolution and lack of good exposure-adjustment controls.

Stratadrake on August 22, 2008, 2:07:00 AM

StratadrakeWell, if the image comes out clear and readable, that is good enough. It is just more difficult with a camera than a scanner.

FluffysPrincess2968I have a question. A few actually.
In the new update, it says that you can enable or disable word filters for stories and pictures and such. I do not see it in the edit profile page.
Two, on CSTDenis's profile, it says that only his watchers can comment. I clicked the fav artist button, and it still would not let me comment on his profile. What's going on there?

Stratadrake on June 22, 2008, 5:47:04 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIf you set your profile page to "Restricted" commenting, only people that YOU watch will be able to comment on your userpage. So in denis's case, the only way to comment on his userpage is if he watches you. He's tired of his profile page being used as a surrogate support forum, which is why he's restricted comments on his userpage.

As for the word filters, you'll find that option displayed in your profile settings, right beneath the IMG tag limit.

Kickassgirl on
KickassgirlHeeeeeey... Guess what?
I was submitting a picture, and after a while got an e-mail saying it was rejected because it wasn't oriented right. (It was right, but it was made to look sideways.) I followed the link to re-submit it, but when I did this (twice actually) it said "Access Denied," even though every required box in that field was checked.
(I added a note saying it was supposed to be like that. I don't know if adding text to a re-submission affects anything like that.)

Now, I'm sure this is no big deal for a lot of people. However, being stuck with dial-up doesn't make the submission process any fun. I don't want to do this many more times so I thought I'd just ask before trying again and again in vain...

Once again: the image is how it needs to be. It looks sideways, but it's not.
(It was "Steam For Guts" if that helps at all. I wouldn't know if it does.)

Thanks much in advance.

Stratadrake on June 8, 2008, 3:43:43 AM

StratadrakeCurrently, the edit-and-resubmit feature is limited to within one week of the initial rejection notice, however it is buggy and sometimes refuses to work properly. This issue should be fixed as of our next update (which should be soon, however I cannot give an exact date.)

sweetsacrifice28I'm not getting any e-mails notifying me when any of my favorite artists submit new art. I'm only notified when somebody comments on one of my pictures or my profile.

I made sure everything in my setting were checked, too.

StratadrakeSorry if I sounded too harsh, but at least that is resolved. While FAC does create resized versions and thumbnails of the image, it also keeps a copy of the original image for full-viewing. As a rule of thumb, an image that is twice the size as another tends to take up four times the storage space.

We've seen submissions measuring in the 4,000 (and more) pixel range, which is why we've started to draw a line around the "1500px" area. There aren't very many things that actually require so many pixels.

Stratadrake on March 8, 2008, 1:11:14 AM

StratadrakeWell, you are scanning your drawings at 150dpi, which makes it appear roughly twice as large onscreen as it is in real life.

We don't have much sympathy for people who don't know how to do basic things like resizing images or saving in different file formats. Learn.

StratadrakeThe latest rejection was for a different reason -- image too large, please resize before submitting. Your image is 1275x1650, otherwise known as 8.5x11" at 150dpi. Please shrink your image to about half size before submitting it.

FluffysPrincess2968Excuse me, I have a question. I submitted a pic that was my DA ID, but it went into the pending box. None of my art has done that since I fist started on FAC. Is there a reason for this?

Stratadrake on March 1, 2008, 2:15:33 AM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeIt's because of the category you submitted it to -- some submission categories are monitored and 'auto' status does not work on those.

This should have been mentioned on the confirmation page after submitting the picture, i.e. "you have selected a monitored category for submission (submissions to this category are always screened for approval)".

FluffysPrincess2968 on March 1, 2008, 3:54:09 AM

FluffysPrincess2968 on
FluffysPrincess2968thanks. :D
I probably just didn't see it when I submitted the pic, I've gotten to the point where I don't read it anymore because I'm used to my pics just coming up. :D

Thanks.

StratadrakeIt occasionally happens that your Internet browser caches a copy of the old page and doesn't do a fresh reload of it later.

Also know that only a set # of IMG tags will be displayed on your profile - the rest will be converted to text links.

Stratadrake on January 28, 2008, 10:56:15 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeDon't believe every rule-of-thumb you hear. There is no exact # of submissions required to earn 'auto' status (if there were, certain people would be abusing it), it simply depends on your reputation with the AP, i.e. the number of pices approved vs. rejected.

Also note that some submission categories are monitored and always screened for submission regardless of 'auto' status.

StratadrakeWhatever you do, don't start harassing them back because then you are breaking the same rule yourself -- "no better than them", so to speak. When something is truly uncalled-for you may delete the comments, or block the user from commenting.

LilichanHey Strata, quick question. Is it against the TOS to use a stock photo as a background for a pic you drew? Just wanted to ask before I submit something potentially against the rules.

Stratadrake on January 21, 2008, 8:46:50 PM

Stratadrake on
StratadrakeLong as the photo is valid stock, and does not distract from the artwork drawn on top of it, in general yes. In other words, it has to be a drawing/painting first with a stock background second, not a photo first with minor touchups/alterations second.

Lilichan on January 23, 2008, 5:31:57 AM
