       Unsourced art...
       By: Ahiku Date: October 21, 2014, 1:20 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Well, what could we do about it? Any ideas? :3
       I thought that we could build a special force... it's definitely
       not something one person can do all alone.

       I think you're right - it's definitely not something one person
       alone should or could do. Unfortunately I severely lack any
       ideas ^^"
       Unfortunately, I'm rarely in the tags as it is. I just barely
       have the time to browse them (the sourcing isn't even the
       problem most of the time). So, I don't know but is it possible
       to create a blog on tumblr with several people posting on it
       (like, everyone who wants to source now and then)? This way we
       could share the task to source art effectively since you could
       see what was already sourced by 'your' blog.
       I found the idea good to ask the people to take down the art if
       the artist forbids the reproduction and sourcing art via
       reblogging as a link - hindering people to just keep on
       reblogging with the source added and encouraging the people who
       post those.
       I already try to ask artists whether or not I'm allowed to
       repost their art on tumblr. I already reblogged some guidelines
       from a user how to write a message to japanese artists with a
       formal letter you can just reblog and add some minor changes
       (like names and such). Maybe we should spread them again?
       [s]I'm glad that you chose to do this via the forum, really.
       Though we're probably few people here than on tumblr, maybe it's
       reaching more people nevertheless.[/s]

       @Lawlya: That's a good idea. We should have a shared blog. Even
       if we start with just a few of us... it's still better than
       nothing. Maybe we can find some more people who want to join
       then...
       Or ask if people wanna help from time to time.
       Everyone should keep an eye on it... maybe we won't be able to
       find everything, but when we at least do something against it,
       it's just fine.
       What about calling the blog: No6fanworkforce or something? XD
       Any suggestions?
       Oh, when you have guidlines, please post them here... I think
       it's better to operate here.
       You can also start a new topic... Guidlines and premade text
       sources we just need to copy then.
       I think it should be simple and maybe even always the same one,
       saying: "You should delete this post immediately. Blabla"
       Whatever...
       And if some people could ask for permission when we find new
       fanarts would be nice, too. Maybe there are 1-2 people who want
       to do this job.

       @Ahiku: Wow, thanks xD To be honest - I don't even know how
       shared blogs on tumblr work ... Like, do you have to invite
       somebody to be an admin or does he just need a password or ...?
       Do you know?
       And yeah, even if we're just a few; something's getting done and
       it's not just one person shouldering all the work.
       That's my opinion too. It's too much of a matter to expect to
       stop unsourced art all together but so long as the artists are
       credited even if it's not the original poster who does it, it's
       better than doing nothing.
       God, I suck at names >.> Don't ask me; I'm fine with anything,
       really xD
       Yeah, probably ... Adding the source shouldn't be much of a
       problem either but I'm not sure if the original posters on
       tumblr like it to be posted again. After all they either
       translated it themselves or asked friends.
       Wait, if I open up a new topic, should I do it here in the
       Conference Room?
       That would be a good idea. It would make the matter easier;
       you'd just have to add the sources manually and copy and paste
       the rest.
       Preferably some that know Japanese or Chinese? Or someone who is
       confident enough in their talent with Google Translate xD

       Ah, that's easy... one of us can just create a new blog... and
       then you can invite other people. You can give them
       administration rights, too. But I guess for most people it would
       be enough when they can write posts for that blog. (And then we
       should also reblog it there, if it's already on tumblr...)
       Yes, just create a new topic here. I'll make it sticky.
       [quote]Adding the source shouldn't be much of a problem either
       but I'm not sure if the original posters on tumblr like it to be
       posted again. [/quote]
       Maybe we could find an easy way out and say that we won't accept
       posting art without asking in general. Just to keep it as simple
       and easy as possible. I'd would be a hassle when you have to
       research everything, to find out if the artist is ok with it or
       not. If we see unsourced art it's not ok. To be honest I would
       just demand to delete it and post the source of art, no matter
       if it's a pixiv or tumblr artist. Because it doesn't matter. And
       I think it's futile to do a big research to find the original
       post and tell them that they should reblog it directly from the
       tumblr artist. I mean they won't do it anyway... <,< But if the
       artist is on Tumblr... maybe we could message the artist and
       tell them he should contact the support. We can also have a text
       source for this where we just need to add the links. Fanmail
       should do it... something line: "Hello! Someone reblogged your
       fanart. Here's the link... We recommend you to contact
       support@tumblr.com"

       Ah, so you have to invite them. Good to know. Yeah, I thought
       about reblogging it there too because it's already there but
       maybe not too well known ^^
       Okay, I'll try my luck and post the letters there with a source
       attached.
       I would like that too. I mean, I find it incredibly sad when
       artists answer that they don't want their art reposted but I can
       understand them as well and respect that. Maybe knowing that
       it's gonna be posted to a sourcing No.6 blog would make them
       more comfortable.
       Okay, I agree with this - delete unsourced art because the
       original post can still harm the artist by getting notes. If you
       got the permission or the artist states that it's okay to
       repost, then make a new post with the source. It's just copy and
       pasting from there, really.
       I'd like to search for the original tumblr post if possible but
       you're probably right. Sadly. And that would be a good way to
       approach it. Tell the artist with a link to the post and if the
       reposter won't take it down the artist themselve can decide
       whether or not to contact the tumblr staff.
       Okay, I'm off creating the new topic now. [s]Let's see if I
       succeed xD[/s]

       Ok, thank you :3 I think we can also post the link to source
       webpages there and our premade texts, to keep everything in one
       post/thread.
       IDEAS:
       - shared blog
       Who wants to open it?
       How should we call it?
       Who wants to participate?
       If we are several people, should we arrange duties? (For example
       one is doing the NezuShi tag, the other one the Shion tag etc.)
       - just one note to keep things simple
       Who can write a good note?
       Since most people tend to ignore these kind of posts, anyway, we
       should keep it as simple as possible, I guess just telling them
       that they should delete it, that they'll harm the artist and the
       fandom and the actual souce will be fine.
       - artist message, if the artist has a tumblr account
       Anyone who wants to write it?
       Also premade, so just copy and paste the link of your sourcing
       post. Something like: ""Hello! Another Tumblr user reposted your
       fanart. You can find the linke here: xxx If you want to remove
       it, we recommend you to contact the support team.
       (support@tumblr.com)"
       Any other ideas? Wishes? Opinions? :3

       Ah, thank you Lawl :3
       That's great. I think it's really better to have it here in the
       forum, since you'll lose sight of it when you just have it on
       tumblr.
       Oh... so if there's anyone who wants to ask other artists...
       that would be great.
       @Lawl we should also check out Animexx. Maybe there are some
       nice fanarts we could share... or maybe even some other people
       who are using Tumblr. :3

       - shared blog
       Well, since you know how to do it ... I'd say you open it up.
       I like the idea of duties. The first one's being covered should
       probably be the 'No.6'- and 'No. 6'-tags. Then 'NezuShi' and
       then the character tags. Maybe you'd even want to assign more
       than just one person to the main tags.
       - just one note to keep things simple
       How about something like this:
       "Since you posted this art without a source, we kindly ask of
       you to delete this and ask the artist for permission to repost.
       Unsourced art shared without consent will harm the artist and
       ultimatively hurt the fandom too. The source of this art is:
       Pixiv ID: [Link]
       Artist: [Link]"
       This way you can just copy the Saucenao information to the end
       of the text.
       - artist message, if the artist has a tumblr account
       That's already enough I think. Maybe adding something like
       "We/I'd (are we a collective conscience or not xD) like to
       inform you that ..." to make it sound more friendly ^^
       [hr]
       So, you'd like to make a post linking to the forum on the blog?
       To make it easier?
       @Ahiku: Yeah, you're right. We should totally do that xD I
       believe I once was in the fanart tag >.> Don't remember much
       though xD
       Oh, and to everyone else who may read this: Please don't
       hesistate to speak up :) Me and Ahiku apparently just have too
       much freetime and are babbling too much xD I figured that a
       decent amount of posts that were already made might scare away
       some of you so I thought I'd might as well invite you - don't
       mind me too much ...

       Yes, please join us. ^^
       [quote]So, you'd like to make a post linking to the forum on the
       blog? To make it easier?[/quote]
       Will do. But I think I'll do this when we've already some stuff
       done. I think it's better to show them that we really mean it.
       XD And not only saying we are planning on something. They can
       still join then... When someone want to join the force that
       person will get our important post. Even if that person doesn't
       want to be in the forum. ^^ I mean that's also possible. But
       somehow I don't think that many people want to do this kind of
       stuff.
       Oh yeah, I like your text... if the others are ok with it, I
       think we can use it. Sounds good.
       We also need a blog theme then. XD Someone who wants to do that?
       Ok, if no one else wants to create the blog, I'll do it
       tomorrow. And now, we should our friends give a chance to answer
       here as well. ^^
       Ah...and of course we are "WE" XD (Ok, I'm used to use we, since
       I always have to do this when I have to work e-mail stuff...)
       but it shows solidarity and that we're a team and no lone wolfs.
       We could also call our blog No.6union or so... XD
