Danbooru

I see the bar for moderators has lowered over the years.

Posted under General

The artist never posted the image publicly, and gelbooru is not a legitimate source.

The link also doesn't even load.

If you want to be technical the source would be the artist's patreon where the originals are but since it's paywalled that's useless. Therefore, the pixiv post is correct.

Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines of this site, namely Help:Image Source before you make baseless attacks against moderators.

"Note that source URLs MUST point to the original image source or a perfectly identical image source with the same md5. Using a link to a more inferior source will confuse the automated processes that run on Danbooru and tag your posts incorrectly, most likely with md5 mismatch. If you wish to provide an alternate (and/or potentially inferior) source for any post tagged with bad id, use a comment."

Why is Gelbooru not a legitimate source?

Because as I said above the source is patreon, boorus just repost shit without the author's permission.
Wouldn't be surprised if he asked for take down if he saw it was ending up here, either.

You're not a moderator, and the wiki is generally not kept up to date, so you're basically spamming.
Edit: and much of the wiki isn't even written by mods, as well.

It's pretty obvious the source is patreon.

Well, if the source is patreon then link to the artist's patreon page.

The user found it on Gelbooru, and reposted it here using that as a source. That's a perfectly acceptable action since the patreon version is not publicly accessible and the pixiv version is of inferior quality. If you have the direct link to the patreon post, change the source to that instead. But setting the pixiv url as source makes no sense as the pictures are different.

I'm not even going to reply to the rest of what you said because it's clear by now that you have no idea how this site works.

He never claimed to be a moderator so I don't know why you are saying that, and he's certainly not spamming. Just because something isn't written by a mod doesn't make it automatically false.

Isn'T Gelbooru changing some of the metadata, too?
I don'T know that, but if it does change the md5 hatch then it should only be linked from Gelbooru as source with a remark that the original post is from Patreon.
But right now, Gelbooru is more correct than Pixiv.

Hey mr.troll, look at your register date and then look at mine? You're like 10 years late to the party.
The point of source is to link back to the artist's page. If the source is not public then a. there is no source or b. the artist's site
Also, md5 mismatch tag is not hurting anyone. Artists reupload all the time due to pixiv demand for bigger censor bars.

If I scanned some crap and then linked back to my personal web page or something, that would not be right. That's basically what someone is doing when they link to gelbooru.

A source is not required, and gelbooru is not really a source (it's unathorized reposts).

Pinging @OOZ662 for this statement since I'm pretty sure he will absolutely object.
Well, every moderator would do that, but I know he pinged some users about some false sources.

You should be asking jhx or rq instead, lol. Unless they've taken a vote or something, mods don't really get the last say either.

Too bad the irc died, takes too long to get responses on the forum.

Hey mr.troll, look at your upload/forum post/approval/post change/wiki change count and then look at mine.
Seniority means nothing when you show up after 10 years to insult the moderation staff out of the blue due to your own ignorance of the rules and guidelines.

And again, the point of the source is to link back to the source, not the artist page. That's what artist pages are for. Please familiarize yourself with Howto:Artist.

Don't know who rq is, but if you want to see Admins to this matter:
@Type-kun @NWF_Renim @albert

But everything has been already said here. So I'm not even sure they'll reply.

Also guys, calm the fuck down.
This really is worth to attack each other :/.

Never insulted him, I just think that reversion was ridiculous just like calling gelbooru a source.

I like how you assume I'm ignorant, by the way. I wouldn't be surprised if I've clocked more hours reading the wiki/forum/IRC than you.

And again, anyone can edit the wiki. Many things there may not have had a concensus with the community or staff.

albert = rq

You are welcome to think whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you are right, the reversion was the right thing to do and Gelbooru works as a source just like Yandere does.

And we don't really have time to discuss every minor change to the wikis, we would never get anything done if we did that.

The source of a post should be as close to the original artist's posting of the exact same image as possible. In this case I would probably set the source field to either text stating it as the artist's Patreon or a link to the Patreon then put in the comments that the image was taken from Gelbooru. Sort of like how scanned posts should be sourced.

Claiming the wiki should never be a source of policy because anyone can edit it is pretty ridiculous, mind. Unless you want to converge a staff tribunal every time a new user signs up with intent on editing anything to rehash the rules with them.
