So basically they requested a DNP but it can’t be posted publicly in any way, shape or form?
 
I wonder how many artists will request art removal once the finale airs. I’d say somewhere between 6 and 40,000, personally…

Yeah, sorry - I had to zap it. I know it’s confusing, but we’re basically in a situation where we are trying to do what the artist asked us to do, but they also asked us to remove anything that would tell anyone else what is going on. So … I know it’s confusing. Sorry.
 
@SD50-2  
Yeah, it’s something that only periodically happens. Normally there’s some breadcrumbs left, but in this case the only think left were all the edits and that one collaboration, and the artist wanted their tag to disappear.
 
So … we end up with people properly and rightfully adding the artist tag back to images, and uploading the artwork, not knowing that there’s a DNP because there isn’t one on the actual tag because it’s supposed to be gone.
 
… I think I’m going to look at adding a DNP to that tag now that it’s been recreated … maybe that will help this make some sort of sense if it ever happens again.

Enough are asking for takedowns that I don’t want to discuss it, except to say that we are doing what we can to encourage artists to preserve their art here.
 
We want to preserve a snapshot of the fanart created for ALL the generations of My Little Pony, and at the same time we understand that artists who started drawing pony porn in high school or college are now trying to create their professional portfolios and want to interview for IRL jobs without their fanart showing up … the “People Hiding Ponies” does a good job of that, I think. But sometimes we end up in a fairly ridiculous situation such as this, where people doing the right thing end up doing the wrong thing without even knowing it.
 
I’ll look to see if I can add a DNP to that tag now that it’s recreated.

Take a look at their tag now
 
How’s that?
 
I think this way uploads with the artist’s actual tag will receive the “Artist is DNP” now, so at least we won’t have more images coming back onto the site without the artist’s ok.
 
PS: Sorry, I know this isn’t the point of the thread, but it is a situation that I’d like to handle better in the future, and this seems like a great opportunity to fix it.

Sounds fair. It’s part of the reason why I chose a username almost completely disconnected from the rest of my accounts, as not many people I know IRL really know I’m a brony. I mean, if you recognize the image in my user avatar, you could probably figure out who I am, but even that could be a bit difficult, as someone who sees my profile would really have no way of confirming that I really did take the picture.

I’ve seen artists who haven’t done porn AFAIK delete all their pony content, like OfficialFirestreak for example. Nothing remains of his presence in the MLP fandom except some old tweets that presumably can’t be deleted except by full account deletion and two Youtube videos by Pacific Penguin (who seems to be moving to the Aggretsuko fandom), unless the latter still has the original tracks his music is as good as lost to the aether, never to be heard again…

Thank you for the feedback - It’s hard for me to tell sometimes - the site behaves differently in some ways for staff, so I don’t know if you’re pending a cache update or if it’s just invisible for normal users … I’ll look again tomorrow. But at least this should prevent direct uploads with that artist tag.
 
@Wiimeiser  
Yeah, it’s sad.
 
It’s also a mistake to just have all your stuff deleted.
 
Like, if we delete someone’s art, then Google freezes their “Last Known Good” cache of that artist’s tag, and you’ll be able to find search results pointing them to missing pages here for months. Maybe even years. But if we PHP them then the obfuscated tag replaces the “last best data” in the caches, and the artist quickly “disappears” from searches.
 
And, I don’t know, but I assume there are people mirroring us, and I’m guessing those mirrors behave the same way as Google with regard to updates of tags.
 
So if people really want their artist tag to disappear, deleting the images is, perhaps ironically, the worse way to do it.

Well, if you’re trying to prepare for a professional interview, or preparing your professional portfolio, having your name all over a bunch of porn is not always the best thing.
 
For me, the simple solution is to get jobs working for porn companies. They have ALL the money, anyway.

TBF, the MLP fandom (especially bronies) kinda has a bad reputation on the internet and other places. Also doesn’t help that fanart tends to be looked down on by professionals, so it appears that many artists trying to go professional will hide the fanart that they’ve done, especially if it’s NSFW, to avoid possibly losing out on jobes

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, my takeaway from this is always use an alternate (and anonymous) account for things you don’t want to be found.

They pretty much are, I mean, why would a man watch a show for little girls? I don’t know of anything horse-related aimed at boys. Gulliver’s Travels is the closest, but book 4, which is the one with the horses, has only ever been adapted once AFAIK. Hence the Yahoos in my original IP. If you want to know more I might post in the Stupid Stuff thread.

Generally, yes. But in this case the artist has a DNP on their PHP as well. It’s kind of frustrating, but it is what they asked for, and they reserve their rights.

Then I’d request that if anyone still has their work saved somewhere in their hardrives to repost the work somewhere else for the sake of archival purpose.
 
Rights shmights. One instance I will trample such rights is for the preservation of history as it is.

What’s People Hiding Ponies? From what it sounds it deletes the old artist tag and puts a new obfuscated one?
 
Curious: What’s the legal situation, actually? If an artist has previously allowed their work to be here, can they actually demand you delete it when they suddenly change their mind or do you just oblige as a courtesy?  
I HATE when people destroy their entire cultural fingerprint, sometimes the creation has to be protected from its creator.

Regarding ponykillerx: The artist did this one piece imitating the ‘first you draw a circle’ trope/meme, featuring humanised Applebloom drawn in the style of realism with a hint of uncanny valley.
 
I’d be more than happy if there is anyone who has saved that piece. I like the joke behind it, that’s why.
