[FIXED] ❗: Don't let ppl delete other ppls images!

Hi!  I'm a big fan of the tagging system on toyhouse- I think it's really fun to go through and tag your friends' characters in pictures they're in!  But there's a pretty serious loophole...

If I tag someone's OC in a picture, they are then given editing rights to the image, where they can add their own description, set their own crop, etc...  But they are also allowed to delete the image from my gallery. 
All they have to do is go to where the tags are, and delete my OC from the tags, and the image is completely wiped from that OC's gallery..!!

In this picture here, I have tagged a friend's OC, Haruka, and I have the ability to delete Haruka's tag from the image.  Which is innocuous enough, but if I delete the tag, it removes the entire image from her gallery.  And because their OC is tagged here, they have access to this on their side as well, so they are able to delete my OC Haruhi's tag as well, and completely remove the image from her gallery.

This can pave the way for a lot of people to spitefully delete images from someone's gallery without permission should their OC be tagged, or even for someone to mistakenly delete images from their gallery because they don't know that removing the tag removes the image...

If an OC has like 10 images, it should be easy enough to find out which one got deleted and replace it....  But if an OC has a lot of art, it can be a big hassle trying to track down which image was deleted so you can reupload it.

I definitely think that people should be able to delete tags if they aren't involved with the people they're tagging anymore, but they shouldn't be able to delete what's in someone else's gallery when they do so..!

I could hardly imagine if I had a bad relationship with someone and they deleted my art... I would be so sad because some of my art in my gallery is the only way I can see the art because it isn't saved anywhere else, and one of the main functions of toyhouse is to be storage

I'm pretty sure this is already a feature, at least for characters that have been traded/sold. But if this isn't already a feature for someone doing fanart, commissions, etc and it DELETES the image from the artist's gallery, then.. that's weird? so +1

it's moreso an issue when there are two characters tagged in an image! Say you drew something for somebody, and it had both their OC and your OC in it... If they deleted the tag for your OC in their OC's gallery, then it would delete the entire image from your OC's gallery, even if you were the one who uploaded it, and there's no notif saying it was deleted or anything either...

Hopefully that makes sense!

I'm not sure if the same thing would happen if someone decided to change the artists credits or anything though, IE if they change the credit will it get deleted from the artist's gallery. I haven't looked into that personally...

0urobous OHHH! omg thanks for explaining, that's strange >.< it should at least have a notified "this image has been removed" or something, but I'm not sure why it doesn't just stay in the artist's images, and just remove them from the OC.

I'm sorry I hope I am understanding this properly lmao
