Reminder: Posting Graphics Not Made by You

[Buffy Summers]

Just a reminder for everyone to remember to credit artists when you post artwork, gifs, photos etc you get from someone else's tumblr, pinterest, twitter, etc.

It's especially important for graphics - even if someone has "just" enhanced a photo. And meme's count also. This goes for the media gallery as well as posts and threads.

And of course, remember not to use other folks' artwork in your own artwork without their permission.

Something that's easy to forget

Just reminding everyone again - if you're posting gifs, you need to put a link to where you got them. Someone made that, and they deserve to be credited.

In light of a lot of threads for gifs being posted lately, please remember to give credit. And Google is not credit.

When crediting, would it be okay to link to the original source by clicking on the pic/gif? Obviously mentioning somewhere, like, "click for credit"?

 

[Buffy Summers]

Yes, that would be fine.

I stand corrected. Thanks for the reminder.
