You know I won't. I already have an (assumed) reputation of being hot-headed.

That's all I needed to hear. We spent so much effort in this thread headhunting people that now I need to build a list of exceptional Non-Japanese artist to keep around. It's normally not too hard to figure out but the self-posting deal raised a red flag with me, I had to ask.

i dont mean to open any old wounds but something's been pissing me off. if gelbooru is a Japanese site for Americans that want at some of the Japanese art and anime. why the hell are people trying to put non-Japanese art up here when you could just as easily do some searching on an American site like deveant art?
The sort version; why are we bringing America... to America? Why bring American art or Americans?
just seems redundant to me.

"To argue it's okay for your image to stay because others violate the Terms of Service is like arguing that it's okay to violate laws just because other people do and get away with it."
So, you're saying that a preferance that is enforced is a Rule?
Tell me, does that preference help, inform or protect anybody?
No?, then it's not an actual rule or law.
So, try not to take it too hard when people violate a "preference."

Your argument is ridiculous.
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rule
Merriam-Webster defines a rule as a "prescribed guide" or "regulation" for procedures or conduct.
oxforddictionaries.com/definition/rule?region=us
Oxford defines a rule as "one of a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere" and additionally "a law or principle that operates within a particular sphere of knowledge, describing or prescribing what is possible or allowable."
dictionary.reference.com/browse/rule
Dictionary.com defines it as "a principle or regulation governing conduct, action, procedure, arrangement, etc."
Nowhere in any of these sources does it even allude to the rule having to help, inform, or protect people. All it must do in order to quality as a rule is to say what can or can not be done. Our rule does a very good job of that. It very explicitly states that you may not upload artwork by non-Japanese artwork unless we give specific exception to it.
Additionally, you really cannot call the rule a "preference" either, as it isn't a "preference." A "preference" is liking sugar in your coffee a little bit more than straight black coffee; in the context of the site, our "rule" is more like not wanting to drink bleach.
Finally:
If you don't like the rules, then you can choose to either follow them anyway, or stop using the site. Those are your two choices. I will point out that Danbooru allows artwork by non-Japanese artists without requiring specific exception to be given by their janitorial staff. If you prefer their rules over ours, then you should use that site instead.
