This post serves to indicate that some artists request that if their art is published in this forum or elsewhere that it follows their publishing requirements.
BlobCG
- Media Requires watermark, non-watermarked versions cannot be published.

sounds like common sense.
thereās nothing more annoying than getting your work stolen and cropped by random people

Iāve had some artist reachout when they find out about the scripts, they usually just ask to credit them, so this makes sense

I am so sorry for being a dummy butā¦can you SHOW an example?
Iām not sure I completely understand what you mean by āartistā. 
So far the list only includes BlobCG, but basically dont be that asshat that crops artistās watermarks out of videos.
Hereās an example of one of their videos that has their watermark. Strange, considering a lot of their recent works do not have watermarks at all 
EDIT: I guess this is the artistsā roundabout way of policing their content that gets posted to places like r34vā¦ If my thinking is correct, we can still make scripts for said content but maybe use the no-free-links tag?

Oh okā¦thx..
I wouldnāt even begin to know how to crop out the wmā¦.
It isnāt as complicated as you think, but letās not teach any readers with ill intentions how 
Makes sense some artist want their WM on their workā¦ but just imagine if the OG trademark owner of those characters went to those same people and said āWe want our name on our charactersā like Nintendo or Shift-Upā¦ I am not being serious just silly food for thought because alot of these artist dont give credit majority of the time and I gotta go searching to find out what some people and characters are from.

most characters that artists use to make scenes and animations from are already well known, thereās no need to mention the OG trademark owner. artists however arenāt usualy well known nor as much as the characters they use so that makes sense to watermark their work.
nobody would ask any overwatch r34 scene to include the blizzard logo because itās absolutely useless, and cropping it would also make no difference since everyone already knows the trademark owner.
iāve seen some very talented artists getting their work reposted under a different name by people who either cropped their video or replaced the watermark.
I hear you, butā¦ iirc when Overwatch 1 came out, Blizzard was sending out DMCAās all over the place because they werent getting credit/permission and for a moment it was renamed to R34 content was named Overlook almost a decade agoā¦
I was simply putting up a āwhat ifā for laughs becauseā¦ well it almost happened and it was never a big deal until recently since everyone has their hand out now. Gone are are the days of recognizing someoneās art from someoneās style, now is the day of just copy paste and taking credit/monetization from someone elses work.
So that means u canāt upload videos of Artists to MEGA & Pixeldrain without watermark.
Whats strange to me is. That posts here have the name of the Artist included in the Topic.
(Artist) Name of the video
Letās say the video on MEGA & Pixeldrain is without a watermark for example.
Everyone knows what Artist it is because Artists name is given in the Topic.
And what about PMVS & HMVS or Porn & Hentai videos without watermark? We arenāt allowed to make topics of those now? When there are available on letās say PMVhaven (PMV videos of Artists without watermark or GOON Compilations without watermark), Spankbang (GOON Compilations), rule34video, HMVmania, Iwara etc.
With ā(Artist) Name of the videoā but uploaded without a Watermark.
And what about Upscales or āSelf made videosā of Porn or Hentai posted here?

Step back from the edgeā¦
I mean likeā¦.that was my confusionā¦like is this just gonna get insanely difficult?
But it seems as of now it is one animator.
Nowā¦as a girl with two art degrees i totally support the creatorās rules and wishes. Artists should be recognized for the original workā¦..
We shall see how things progress.

I also brought up concerns here:
Which has ended up getting this response:
So Iām waiting on better wording though I doubt it will solve my concerns with this currently.
I also still question why this rule is being implemented now since I thought that scripters usually do credit the video makers?
what constitutes āpublishingā an artistās work? posters use this content in a lot of different ways in their posts, but the unedited original content is basically never included as an embed in the post itself. I donāt think Iāve seen that even 5 times in the hundreds if not thousands of posts Iāve opened.
are screenshots required to have watermarks? what about preview clips with OFS overlay? are externally hosted files linked in the post required to have them too? etc.
lots of grey area, and readers are left to guess.
even then, different artists will probably have differing opinions on these items.
as usual, I am being a pedant; but itās impossible to understand the bounds of the rule when itās described so vaguely.
Youāre never banned from making a script. In the case you described, where a full version doesnāt have a watermark, youāre simply prohibited from posting the video itself. You can still make a script and post the script, but anyone who wants the video to use the script with, will have to find it on their own or subscribe to the artistās patreon, fantia, or whatever theyāre using.
Same as all the VR videos are being posted with the āno-free-linksā tag, where the only link provided by the script author for the video is the legitimate source.
Also, itās important to remember that so far this only includes one artist, and as far as I know, BlobCG watermarked and non-watermarked animations are the same length. The only difference is the watermark and resolution. Higher tier members get access to higher quality video without the watermark.
@misuko From what you said I get the impression you didnāt fully read my post as I put at the end of it a quote from Vlad responding to me saying it doesnāt stop script making. Thereās other bits youāve said too which were said in the linked stuff which I also responded to. I also said there too about why Iām bringing it up now rather than later.
Iāve posted here to make those whoāve posted here aware of whatās been said in the other topic and the response thatās been given that an rewording is coming. I havenāt posted to rehash whatās already been responded to, unless after the rewording I still have the same problems/concerns which then Iāll bring them up once more.
My bad. I guess I missed the point of your post 
The verbiage has been fleshed out to what I think is clear:
Publishing requirements:
- There are some publishing requirements from artists, that must be followed.
- Please report changes and missing entries to keep this list up to date
- This only applies to the media paired with a script.
- We will not enforce restrictions that make a script diminish in usability.
- Under reasonable circumstances we may ignore these restrictions
Reasonable circumstances is a situation where a restriction canāt be followed (the restriction makes it impossible to publish)
This is not going to be a bannable offense. Itās purely to respect an original artists wishes. I doubt this will go past āMake sure the artist is creditedā or āno piracy plzā

@VladTheImplier So we only need to not post videos without watermarks from the Artists of said List? publishing requirements
Itās not exclusive to watermarks but restrictions in general.
It will most likely be quite rare that we add them.
