Disclaimer for Japanese Artists

I can certainly add this to the site, but I'm reluctant to take up more vertical screen real estate for this message, even if it can be closed. I think a better solution would be for me to link it whenever an artist emails me.

I am, however, skeptical this will change much. When an artist wants something removed from Danbooru, it's most often because they want to remove all traces of their identity from the internet. They'll often delete their Pixiv accounts as well.

Nothing can be done about such cases, but for the rest it can make some difference. It already helped rebecca_(naononakukoroni) decide not to request her art be removed (see forum #73558).

Edit: And if you're still around, you might want to alias rebecca_(naononakukoroni) to rebecca_(keinelove), it's the name she wants for herself.

they probably dont even know there is a contact mail

then they wouldnt use pixiv in first place, its a fairly large community

and yea, there are no other admins around to do the alias

Just put it at the bottom, where this terms and conditions stuff usually goes. Or maybe just put it on the front page.

I find it a little odd that there's no "what's this?" page for people who've stumbled across danbooru and don't know what the site about.

How is this disclaimer accessed?

disclaimer:Japanese

disclaimer:Japanese

I meant without going through the wiki.

It's only accessed by going through the wiki (or this thread). That's what we're discussing.

So, is it going to be accessible by front page or navigation bar soon?

Sorry for necroing this forum, but I wish to edit the disclaimer wikis by turning the absolute links into relative ones. Sure they are minor edits but since about:disclaimer warned against any edits on the wikis I turned here. I am scouring the wikis for absolute links and turning them to relative links - I am mainly using sonohara instead of danbooru

That's fine. Relative links should be the norm.

Just wanted to add that I changed the link at the end of Disclaimer:Japanese to a wiki link instead of a link to a wiki page version. The two were virtually identical, and it's a better practice IMO to use the page itself instead of just a version.

I also locked both pages since they're a main point of interaction with external artists and thus it's important that they don't get vandalized.

Relative links are the Road to Hell.

Since the thread's bumped: does anyone think it'd be worth having a more general artist disclaimer (not only for Japanese, but for English-speaking artists as well) where we try to explain Danbooru's position and the responsibility of its users in regards with posting exclusive content? (see discussion on topic #11399)

I'm not really sure what we'd say, but if it's something that can save Danbooru from blanket ban requests or legal issues for Albert, it's worth considering.
