“#3 Do not upload unrelated content”
I’m still a bit confused by this rule as a two of my juxtaposition uploads were taken down citing this rule despite both original images having ponies in them.
Juxtaposition screenshots are just screenshots of two images that are already uploaded to the site, in a significantly smaller resolution. It doesn’t really add any new/original content at all
“Images that were created using an exploitable meme or template, which is designed to be an image featuring a pony where you “drop-in” an unrelated image, are not allowed.”
Does this mean those “doing loving things.” and “facial expression” ones are not allowed here anymore? But I love those. In fact a lot of the template pics here are fun to use.
No, not at all. We would never ban stuff like that! They always contain original pony artwork, so those are perfectly fine and completely welcome.
This rule is meant for images where the pony related content is already drawn, and the only thing that you add in has nothing to do with MLP at all. Look at
>>241052 for example - a lot of people put non pony content in that “blank” (such as TV/Movie clips, sports pictures, etc), and then use that image as a “wrapper” for uploading that non-pony image to the site. That kinda stuff is banned because the only difference between all those uploads has nothing to do with ponies at all.
“Do not publicly post private content or information, such as private messages, off site conversations, and other things that one may not want publicly known, without permission.”
I’m glad this was added as just a few months ago, an artist I had a disagreement with, screen capped a PM exchange I had with him here and shared it on a discussion board site so the people there in turn could come back and harass me.
We can’t delete things posted on other sites though. But if someone’s taking screenshots of PMs here and posting them elsewhere, that would be something we’d have to deal with on a case-by-case basis (that happens so infrequently to my knowledge that we can’t really establish any baseline for such a thing). Of course, if people are harassing you on this site, definitely let us know and that will be dealt with.
