A more accurate description would be the difference between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree murder. All of them are bad. They all end with someone dead, but the punishment of the accused varies dramatically.

All of this makes sense, and it was with these considerations I decided to change the rules in OCA. Based on what you're saying, it seems to me that a huge amount of the issues regarding fighting abuse

I think that makes sense. In general the way I'd see it working is primarily around Communities(States). If someone doesn't post in a Community I think it would make sense they can do whatever they want,

@hivewatchers @guiltyparties @jaguar.force @logic I don't really know much about what you all are dealing with on a day to day basis. Would love to hear from your perspective if this sounds reasonable

@tipu curate

Really sorry to hear this man, and really appreciate you sharing this story.

Thanks for chiming in @barbarabezina. I actually did update the rule a few moments after a wrote it with the exception being unless you took/own the photos. For example, I've purchased some professionally

Yea, I don't have much sympathy for someone's single post getting zero'ed. I really feel like that's a slap on the wrist. But yea, getting added to a blacklist is pretty major and I think should be reserved

So yes, in OCA the new rule is to leave a link to your photo reference if you don't own the original photo reference and your painting/drawing is basically exclusively referenced from that single reference.

"What is Art?" in my mind is like one step down in depth to what is the meaning of life, but when it comes to Hive, I personally would rather people not monetize a photo that they don't own that

Even the one click ones can be used in creative and interesting ways. I don't have anything against the tech. I think it's really cool and interesting, but there's a spectrum of uses. For every person

Some of the things you're saying here are why there are problems I think. ...(while they actually used the photo which they traced so most of work was already done for them). Even if someone traces a photo

After talking with them, since this is something I promote in OCA, the compromise was to not make the post a direct copy paste of the previous post. It can contain the same images, just make a new post.

I came up with what ultimately became cross posting on PeakD, but yea, they decided to change it. At the end of the day you could always do it manually. Copy someone's post, make a new post, and make them

This is pretty much my view. As the Admin of a pretty big community, I do definitely need help with moderation. So as long as we're all working together and being grown ups I think we'll be stronger together.

I have only spoken about it in private but I do have some ideas concerning this. I think we need to adopt a model similar to the US govt where we have "Federal Laws" or Rules enforced throughout
