Follow-up to another rant

[chibifuji]

This is a follow-up to my previous rant about watermarking scans which are not yours.

One girl gave this as her reason:

...If I [watermark] my pictures, that's for protect it of the flight because a lot of people post these pictures and don't specify the link where they found this -_-. So, the picture who are beyond [watermarked], I don't [

Posted the link below. Frankly the site isn't spiffy at all. I don't really get it. :/

Whoa. Where is this from?

[chibifuji]

this is the most recent post. She's made at least 2 other ones. I've replied already -not-so-kindly, of course.

*blinks* Her kind is one of the reasons I rarely post scans anymore, that and my scanner acts up most of the time. xD

[chibifuji]

Her kind is the main reason I watermark my scans.

[ou_alum1990]

*nods* and I bet she would arrogantly put her own watemark right besides yours. *has an intense urge to strangle the twit*

And i don't even understand the logic in her explanation. DDD:

[chibifuji]

Well given the really bad English, I think what she was driving at was:

1) Because the places she got them from didn't credit their sources, she deduced that many people don't credit sources, so she watermarks the pictures she spent so long googling so they have to credit her.

2) If people see the url, they'll go to her page to get more pictures, and it'll be easier on them.

The first one is just WTF. The 2nd logic is sound because I do that to my scans. The only difference is... my personally scanned scans vs her downloaded/jacked/stolen from everywhere scans. :P

I don't watermark my scans, because frankly I am too lazy for that, but she almost makes me want to do it. *grrrr*

[chibifuji]

Well hopefully you haven't gotten any of your scans stolen. D: I used to not watermark some scans, but after seeing so many occurances of theft, I started watermarking everything. ^^;
