Thanks

@Orbita
Sure, just not out of the blue spam.

Can I send link to pony discord server on some forums?

@MelodiSmol
Yes. Reports are the proper forum. It’s private and puts your issue in the moderation queue, ensuring it will get seen. If your issue requires discussion, a staff member will send you a PM. Threads are great for many things but running task management isn’t one of them.

@MelodiSmol
You have to report yourself at your profile, select #other and then write on the field below that you require your artist link updated.

@saby
I’m sorry, “report my profile”? There’s no other way to have the links updated? No proper forum?

How is it bizarre for people to get annoyed by dozens of dupes being posted continually by someone? You and I know it’s for a good purpose in the long run, but it’s also clear as day to me how it’s bothersome. (Even for me in the niche situation that I like to lurk the dedupe reports page to find bad uploaders [low quality/absent artist credits] or changed artist names, and get faced with 2 pages straight of [perfectly ordinary] mdashlw uploads [or WatermelonRat or Mildgyth or others])

@Background Pony #699F
It puzzles me how people just apparently hate mdashlw’s higher-res uploads. From wanting to hide their uploads, to spamming in the comments. It’s just bizarre.

@Background Pony #EFB0
I’d recommend instead putting in something like uploader_id:600220, first_seen_at.gt:7 days ago, which will only hide them while they are less than a week old, because I imagine you’d still want to see these images after they get merged with the older duplicates.

Anyway, what that user is doing is uploading larger, higher-quality versions of images than were uploaded to the site in the past - something that staff has sometimes done directly without needing to wait for merging - but there are so many images that need it… I wonder if that user is trustworthy enough to get the ability to update posts or to merge images?

@JP
Should I write “Searching for uploader_id:600220” in full or just “600220”?
P.S. And it doesn’t work either way.
P.P.S. I wrote “uploader_id:600220” and it worked, thanks.

@Background Pony #EFB0
Just wait for a mod to merge them?

Alternatively, if you really want to hide them, look up the user’s uploader ID (go to their profile, click “View All” in the recent uploads box, then look at the search bar, it says something like “uploader_id:XXXXX”), and put it in your complex filter. If the person is a BP, then you’re out of luck.

This is the situation, a person posts a HUGE pile of old art that was already uploaded several years ago. The corresponding tag does not exist, I cannot block the user who posts this. How to deal with such individuals?

@MelodiSmol
Report your own profile.

hey, I’m kinda lost, where do I go to request my artist links be updated to reflect a newly changed alias?

also looking to know how to get the linked picarto stream also updated on my artist tag

@Background Pony #15BA
Which government? We’re an international crew.

@Background Pony #15BA
No.

Will this site be affected by the government shutdown?

Forget about it.

I think I’m due for a name change on that guy before this year ends.

Searing Skies as an MMA Fighter with a beard doesn’t fit the name properly anymore.

Just add your username to your OC’s name tag. It’s quite a common way to avoid name clashes.

(I mean, the latecomers should do that, not the first person to use that name…)

@Шавкат Рахмонов
I think a lot of us are in that same spot. It’s a cosy spot to be.

@Ciaran
Haha i’d like that but i’m too lugnuts yet to come up with an appropriate detailed description about mesself.

@Шавкат Рахмонов
If you would like, you can document your own personal use of that name on the tag itself - some people do this to help differentiate their OC from the others with the same name.

@Шавкат Рахмонов
OC name collisions are common. My own OC, “Firebrand”, suffers that…

Ay who the fook is this guy? Someone who blatantly share my same name bruh.

Would love to get an answer to this and/or get it to work. Direct fetching is much more convenient than downloading and reuploading.
