Not really, because people tend to avoid crediting the designs and/or don't care to search for my username on there.
not all my designs are on here; some are private aswell, so they do not appear if you browse or use the search tools.
Some people duplicate character pages when co-owning and that makes it difficult to administrate when the character is sold. Same for "twins".
the masterlist was made because there were a decent amount of people stealing and reselling designs so it was a more official page to keep track of the designs and their owners.
With inactivity it's become non-mandatory to upload them on the masterlist (which i'll update here), but this should mean that people should put more effort in crediting where it's due.
That's the reason why i don't want to put that rule in the T.O.S; i can't control what people want to do with their characters after they're bought and many people prefer to have their characters on private because thieves can browse a character's gallery and steal images.
On deviantart, only the original/sale image of the design would be uploaded (cropped on the face) so the buyer and owner would be protected from thieves in case they wanted to have their character on private while still keeping track of who the real owner was, when the last trade occurred, and where the design was at the time (even if people couldn't see it if privated).
these rules were never meant to dictate what one should do with the design, but were made in trust of people's common sense on respecting one's work.
At the time i made these rules i was way more active on deviantart and people didn't use toyhou.se much, so these problems didn't occur that often since everyone had characters stored on sta.sh. I'll have to refresh these rules a little bit now that things have changed!
And no problem about pointing stuff out, really - thanks for the insight if anything!
I don't use toyhou.se or deviantart much so it's still difficult for me to manage things here and there.
Eclipse really was the turning point for so many people and managed to make everyone move to ig/twitter in a heartbit - i didn't design new characters for long aswell so i didn't even bother to update the design TOS but apparently the moment has come :'')
thank you for the insight tho! i'll see whta i can do to make it more lenient and secure at the same time-
