Should i upload advertisement arts?

Posted under General

This for example. Third one is like 80% advertisement 20 % art, or on danboru its prohibited? Also i might have hires examples but without source becouse usuallu when searching i dont save source, should i find most avaible but with source or upload what i have?

Ideally speaking, you'd want to find the actual art by itself to upload, but sometimes that just doesn't exist, or at least doesn't exist publicly online (ex. the art itself exists only in merch form, so if you want to up it you'd need to scan it). So it's all about deciding whether or not something you'd want to up has more art than advertising, and using common sense on whether to upload it (that, or figuring out how to do third-party extractions, but bad extractions are arguably worse, so).

@M1ndB1ast Are you saying you uploaded these from your computer instead of directly from the site? If you copied the URL, it should still be on the upload page.

In any case, you still need to provide the source. If you don't remember where you got it from, you can use SauceNAO to find it. SauceNAO also provides convenient links to other image search engines. Using Google, I was able to trace the first and third images to this tweet:

You can try it yourself for the second image. Just keep in mind that the files can't just look the same; they have to actually be the same file. I would download a free hex editor like HxD and use it to compare both images. You can also use the tool at https://duplicatebooru.zipfiled.info, but it will only tell you if the pixels are the same, not whether they're a byte-for-byte match. But if the pixels don't match, then that saves you the trouble of having to check with the hex editor.

Also, when checking Twitter images, make sure you download it when the URL has the "orig" suffix so it's at full resolution.

@Blank_User No, I mean I have some images that have a higher resolution than what I could find on Google Images, Yandex Images, SauceNAO, and similar sites like Danbooru. For example, for post #11393586, the only version I found was 863x1200 with a sample watermark, while I posted a 1182x1748 version without any watermark. I can't remember where I got it from.I’m not sure if it was upscaled, but I don’t see any upscaling artifacts only typical JPEG compression artifacts (the same ones that are present in the 863x1200 version).
