nope, didn't get any warnings or fines for that. honestly also didn't stay long enough to really tempt fate

oh boy... that was bound to happen sooner or later to be honest. almost anyone posting art to major platforms will have someone cross post that to e621 eventually and its really up to you if you are ok with that, or want to do something about it

is that legal? can they do that?

thats really much more of a question for a copyright lawyer (which im not), but that depends on the license of the art. unless stated otherwise and assuming that the work is even copyrightable, everything is usually all rights reserved, which (as far as i know) does make redistribution illegal in most jurisdictions. if it was licensed as CC-BY for example, this post should be ok since you are listed as the artist and have links back to your profile and the post itself

but thats the neat part! copyright rarely stops people from distributing art and memes

why is my art there if i don’t even like the 18+ stuff

for all kinds of reasons... for me (when i get bored enough) its always a "the archive must grow" kind of deal. there is this sort of desire to have everything nicely tagged and uploaded in one massive archive. it doesnt really have anything to do with being 18+ or not. there is lots of non-18+ artwork on there as well, but we all know thats not what people think of first. if anything, someone saw your art somewhere and thought it should be added to e6 so others can see it too. i dont think that the uploader had any ill intentions. they probably didnt even think that you might have reservations since youre not listed as DNP

i know there’s a takedown form

nice! have you also seen the DNP list? sending a takedown request will affect one post iirc, getting added to DNP goes a bit farther. getting added to DNP will either deny anyone from uploading your art, or will only allow certain uploads under certain conditions. for example you might be able to request that only original artwork without edits is posted

hope that semi-infodump gives at least some answers :D

yep, seems to be a common thing. happened to me yesterday, so i filed a lost assets claim (just to have a paper trail of events, really) and got a response already.

according to FDev support, nothing is actually lost. the backend system still has (at least in my case) all claims data and its just not displayed correctly in game. the ticket was for both my systems Paradiso and Col 285 Sector FA-W a45-1 and sure enough the latter is already fixed!

i like it so far. building a proper starport with two people on three accounts is annoying when it comes to CMM, but not too difficult. the way building different installations / stations shapes the systems economy / stats of the system makes sense. starting a system with a tier 3 station however makes less sense... it doesnt give any construction points towards either tier 2 or tier 3. and it sure is a beta. lost system architect status everywhere today. fun stuff :D

to be fair, the best response to that is just "Greetings!" and then you watch them trying to comprehend. and don't get me started on people that hit send after every other word...

humans just had to fuck around and find out...

i'll make a wild guess and say that the true percentage is somewhere around 75%, maybe close to 80%.

a good chunk of players that call the rats are new players that might not have bought odyssey right away and started in horizons 4.0. the raw numbers the fuel rat stats can provide are a bit biased towards underestimating how the 4.0 playerbase is split between horizons and odyssey in favor of horizons. ( i wish there were stats about how many hours players typically log before having to call the rats, but we have no data to do that :/ )

gruyère... of course that almost ended horribly. shouldve used cheddar...

love the quote at the end. there are far too many situations where windows is because "because!" where its just the wrong tool for the job. pos, web servers, trains to name a few i can think of...

eggcelent news!

and i claim that i have a pig in my basement that plays celtic whistle and shits pure palladium every sunday

ye, dont think ive seen anyone talk about that. sad
