Rule Clarification
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2010 2:20 pm
I posted an image on Shuu just a little while ago which was almost immediately taken down. The only reasoning behind it I can think of is the watermark. However, it wasn't a DeviantArt watermark, it was a studio watermark. Which, according to the rules: "Watermarked images are not allowed unless the mark is by the original artist or studio."
So, since I have no way of knowing who took the image down, and thus, no way of asking them why they did, I would like a clarification of what exactly "unless the mark is by the original artist" means. Does the rule just mean a signature in the corner and doesn't apply to actual watermarks? Or does the watermark have to be a small one or barely visible? Is there a size limit?
I've uploaded images before with watermarks and have gotten politely told they weren't allowed but I've also uploaded them without problem or mention previous to that.
I just need a Clarification, please.
