suggestion: request credit on art (+149)

Posted 5 years, 23 days ago (Edited 3 years, 2 days ago) by canonkiller

I'm sure this has been made before, and it feels like something that must be added already, but I don't see an option for it on character galleries; a way to request artist credit the way character credit is requested? I've had... a lot of people repost art I've done for them and leave the credit as the default self-credit, and it feels like such a small thing to report someone over. It would make things way easier if I could just point out that it needs credit with a button!

If it's already implemented and I'm just blind, I apologize ;w;

(edited to fix the title spelling asdfgh)

October 5th clarification: this would be to add an inline button to request the addition of art credits, the way you can request to add a character to an image or request creator credits; most artists would find it much easier and less stressful to press a button to request credit rather than having to specifically contact each individual person who reposts without correct, or off-site, credit - especially when someone who doesn't credit might be outright hostile to being corrected. It would make the site much easier to deal with for artists for a minimum of adjustment, imo!

 i've had to deal with my art being miscredited, it sucks. at this point i gave up on asking to credit me for the art because i'm at least credited for the designs, but for real, the amount of miscredited art would be down significantly if this was a thing. a LOT of times miscrediting (at least when it's labeled as 'unknown') is due to the convenience of not having to google or edit images, the only reason an art credit request would be rejected is a misclick, the requester not being the actual artist or outright theft. In the case of you getting art from another platform and the artist getting a toyhou.se, it can prevent the artist from having to compile and DM everyone who needs to credit, which would save both people's time. No-brainer idea, absolutely should be added.

+1 I'm surprised this isn't a feature! This would help find out who is trying to steal, too!
