Kinda curious about this; what's the deal with folks cutting off the artist's name and site?

I read the "ads" argument in the comments, but I don't buy it as attribution isn't an advert. So what's it actually all about?

There's one singular vocal guy around that doesn't like that authors sign their work and thinks that's blatant and dishonest self-promotion.

That's all.

Fortunately, that user's since been yote. I think that's the past tense of "yeet"? :)

A user is going around trying to get a rise out of other users and it's working.

It also doesn't help that the comm admin has been MIA for a few months. Imagine what would happen to your conservative community if you stopped moderating it for even a week.

My community is a pleasure to moderate actually I have had to do three moderation actions in the last three months.

I hope you didn't take offense. Your's is the only conservative comm I ~~haven't blocked~~ frequent. I just remember what happened to conservative2 when that mod disappeared.

No offense taken!

Found this part really funny

At the end, music don't have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks?

Because is something that a lot of musicians do today, having a spundbite that they use in all their songs. There's this one CRRDR that uses the roadrunner bip-bip sound, and in Baile Funk every producer had his own that are integral part of the songs and sometimes DJs mix the soundbite in interesting ways

Artists have been signing paintings for hundreds of years...
