Contributing to this because, while it was fine at first, it has become a bit of an awkward procedure when uploading trying to determine what to rate my art. There's a massive grey area about fetish artwork being adult or not because, honestly, a lot of "general" art could be fetish art in disguise. How do we define fetish art? Does it depend on intent? The amount of eroticism? The popularity of the fetish itself?


Some of my art is created without me thinking anything of it, but then I remember that it could be considered fetish art... so off it goes into the 18+ category. If there was a mature rating we could force all fetish artwork there without blocking it off into 18+. Same with things like gore, innuendo, etc. At the very least, fudge with the site's definitions of what does and does not constitute as adult artwork.

I assume community tagging is intended to deal with this, but it seems like something that's "too little too late" when you're just casually searching.

The JPEG compression and scaling algorithms are by far the number one things that keep me from wanting to use the site. As an artist, when I upload my art to a website, I want people to see it at the original quality or at least pretty darn close to it. Especially since many furry artists use a cartoony, flat style, artifacts can be all over their images. If this is intended to be a site for hosting artwork, this absolutely needs to be addressed.

Yes, using this and making it obvious that @mentioning people is how you communicate would cover most all shout use cases to my knowledge. The only other one I can personally think of that would not work with this is posting on your own page to tell people not to leave shouts.
