Animation Source Forums

(First off I’d like to say that I respect each member and mod here)

This rant has to do with popularity and artwork, so a few days ago I was reading a rant about characters and I was a little surprised about some of the stuff. We all know about ‘popular’ artists and all the other artists on the site. I find it strange that when a ‘popular’ artist makes a character that has, lets just say unnatural colors their character gets reported by the mods seem to overlook it, but the minute a not so ‘popular’ artist makes a character with unnatural colors the mods will break there necks to delete it. I understand that they have a lot of art reports to go through, but if you see a ‘popular’ artist’s character being reported why don’t you delete right on the spot?

I think all characters should be approved by a moderator before they are posted on this site’s character section.

All characters /are/ looked over by us before being allowed onto the site and all characters reported that break the rules /are/ deactivated.

As far as I know, once deactivated members can't see a character page but I don't actually know because I always could but guessed that's because mods can see them still...

What's unfair? And what's it got to do with racism?

I thought you were referring to UK's post.

Edit:// Actually, if you had read her post you would have noticed this not "supposed" to be the way the system works.

Not everyone reports the them, the mods can't look at every character that managed to get to not get noticed.
It's not racism. Just report the character if it doesn't respect the rules, and I trust that the mods will deactivate them.
You do know racism is judgment by race right? Racism doesn't really even come into this topic.

Even if it's about color, it really isn't racism, but I don't get it to be honest.
Unless she's meaning poor judgement, or it just not being fair. (Which ever one)

This hardly fits into racism category. Or social injustice for that matter.

Well, half the mods are friends to the 'popular' people andyway, and deny it if you want, but I see some mods WITH characters with neon colors and stuff. Not ALL mods are like this, there are some that go by rules not friends.

You do know that if you report those characters they'll be deactivated?

& if you think a mod isn't doing their job properly you can PM the lead mod in their section (first mod listed on the staff page for each section) and tell them about it? Or Togo?
