Hey I did explain the server doesn't exist anymore. He's the only person who would get their panties in a twist over a 2 years old post and go full reddit "source, I don't see a source, citation please".

I think it's weird to delete information on a website dedicated to art archival. You shouldn't be deleting comments like that. And all posts should have proper sourcing, it doesn't matter that it's a 2 year old post.

@baconmeh2 This is absolutely not a commission, don't tag based on hallucinations. In the server it was an art study that the indonesian artist in question was doing in an NSFW channel. It was not a request from someone, they just felt like doing it.

Ah, balls. I thought it was something this guy commissioned, but I can't even find it on rule34.xxx. Matches their MO perfectly.

For the record, it's not AI, not a paid reward, not off-topic.

The only thing you could say is that it's terrible and won't survive the queue. But go easy, it was my 4th post.

I don't think the feedback is focused on your sourcing mistake from two years ago. It's about what you said in the present; about how you would delete the comment that contained the sourcing information you still had. Yes, it would've been better if you gave the link, but there's nothing that can be done if you lost it since that time and having that info is better than nothing. Why did it take a feedback to convince you to add it to the source field? If that feedback wasn't sent, would you have just let the info disappear for good?

Regardless of whether or not the feedback was justified, there's no excuse for retaliating with a Negative. If you think the feedback you were given is unfair, either talk it out with the user or ask an admin if they'll remove it.

1. Not revenge, I think Gex is one of the most pointlessly antagonistic people on this site and frankly will scare away people new to the site with his behavior. Pointlessly hostile dude.

Who is Gex, and who said anything about revenge? Regardless of what was going on in your head, you chose to send a feedback in response to one sent to you. That's retaliation. And feedbacks like the one you posted are always going to be deleted. You're just giving the admins more pointless work by doing this.

Edit: Editing it afterward isn't going to extend its shelf life. And I'll also add that while that user isn't perfect, the vast majority of my interactions with them have been positive. I've learned a lot from them about how the site works and how to improve as a user. Maybe your experience was different, but I just don't see how the claim that they're "consistently a source of negativity and antagonism in this community" holds any water.

2. If people quote it, it won't disappear into the ethers.

Which brings us back to the core message of the feedback: it is your responsibility to make sure the source information is provided. Other users should not have to quote your comments to preserve that information. You need to add what information you can, even if it's not perfect.

One of the core principles of this site is that we're responsible for our own tagging, sourcing, etc. We do these things to the best of our ability. Others can help us out if we are lacking somewhere, but pushing off our responsibilities to someone else is something we should never do. You were capable of adding sourcing information even now, and chose not to until you were pushed into doing so. This is evident from the timestamps on the comments, tagging history, and feedbacks.

Though I might just make throwaway accounts to add context in the future and lose the password.

I don't understand why you'd need to go through all of those hoops in the first place. If you think you're going to regret making a comment, just don't post it. Are you afraid someone's going to track you down or something?
