OIAL-F Forum Rules
Our rules may be updated from time to time as appropriate for the forum.1. First and foremost, we are a copyright aware forum! Please do not post any images, signatures, or tag without a proper copyright on them. Keep it clean when you are posting images! NO NUDITY! We have the right to delete any images we find that are not copyrighted appropriately. If you need an avatar or signature, but do not have one, please PM Chakoteh, or Huronna and we will gladly make you one that will have copyright on it.
2. Use an image hosting site like [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to post your images or Google for other image hosting site. There are a number of free ones. OR... We offer a HOST an Image here in the forum. See this link to use it. It doesn't cost anything to use it. Click [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
3. No bashing, no profanity, no cussing. No blaming or shaming. Be kind, respectful, and helpful. If you have nothing constructive to contribute, then bypass the post!
4. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. Users posting spam will be banned immediately! The team of OIAL-F reserve the right to edit and remove what they deem is inappropriate for this forum.
5. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings and/or the revocation of private messaging. Do not spam other members via PM!
6. Our Daily Chat is for normal everyday chatting NOT for debating.
Copyright Info
Here is the short of it. You may look in the spoiler below to see the longer version.
1. The copyright
symbol belongs to the original artist.2. If you make a tag using the original artist work, the copyright still goes to the original artist. You may put, Tag'd by your name for the changes you make.
3. You can only add ONE copyright symbol to a tag. Anything else you add can have an attribute like:
chakotehBkg Pixabay
4. Read the Terms of Use (TOU) before you use anything on your tag so you know what that artist expects from you. No TOU, then don't use the artist!
5. If you took the picture, created the tube, pixeled, vectored etc and it all belongs to you; then you get the
your name. Add attributes as needed.your nameFlowers by their name
The whole thing with copyright is, if you don't know where something came from, Do NOT use it because there is no way to give proper copyright to the artist. It's as simple as that!
If you have any questions, please ask in this topic and someone will be by as soon as we can to help you. You may post the image to show us even if it does not have credit on it if you are trying to find out what credit to put on. We will delete it as soon as we help you.
p.s. Many of us have file folders from years gone by that have tons of elements, flowers, buttons, all kinds of doodads that we have no idea where they came from. Do NOT use them if you can't credit them. Hit the delete button and let those old thing go away and start with new folders that have proper copyright!
Copyright IS Important! #1
- Spoiler:
You will be very frustrated if you do not read ALL about copyright because if you don't use it or don't use it correctly we will be asking you to correct your image or worse, deleting the hard work you put into making your tag. Please be sure to read this. If you have questions, post in this topic and ask your question! Don't take it personal if you are asked to make corrections, we've all been on that end and had to delete or redo our work for not using proper copyright.
Whatever you make should have proper credits on it. Keep in mind that some artist do not want their credit on their work (then don't post it here), while others have a TOU that states you must put it on anything you use their work for. Others not only state you must use their credit, but they also state how it is to be used. For instance, you may see one that says you must put their credit right on top of the tube or image, not to the side. You may also see that they want their URL and/or a license number they give you on the tag.
A lot of tutorials that are written on the web do not use safe tubes in them. It is best when doing a tutorial to find and use tubes that you know are safe to use. We will give you this information about copyright, but we are not experts on copyright. We are also not the copyright police. It is expected that you know what you are posting and have permission to use the artwork. Therefore, you need to be sure YOU are reading the artist TOU BEFORE you decide to use their image.
Of course anything that you make 100% yourself is yours. You take the picture, it's yours. You tube your own picture. It's yours.
Bottom line... Just because someone tubes something doesn't give them the right to give permission to others and claim the for the tube unless they are the original artist. Read the artist TOU for usage of their artwork. If you don't know who the artist is, then don't use the art for any reason.
ALL TAGS NEED PROPER CREDITS ON THEM! PLEASE DO NOT POST TAGS WITHOUT PROPER CREDITS ANYWHERE IN THIS FORUM. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ARTIST, DON'T USE THE GRAPHIC. READ THE ARTIST TOU TO BE SURE IT IS SAFE TO USE THEIR TUBES OR ARTWORK.
Again, you are responsible for making sure your tags are credited appropriately or they may be deleted! This is very important!!
Only General and Mature rated images are allowed in this forum. No adult content is permitted and will be deleted immediately.
TIP:
NOTE: Copyright does not need to be LARGE, it only needs to be readable.
Questions to ask yourself:
1. What do you know about copyright? Do you know just because someone tubes some else's work that they do not get the for it because they are not the original artist? The artist of a piece of work is always the artist of that work, tubed or not.
2. Do you understand it is YOUR responsibility to ensure you are using safe tubes? This included embellishments of any kind.
3. Do you understand that we are NOT the copyright police but, we do watch for proper copyright?
4. Do you understand that we are not going to police what credits are put on your tags, but if we notice something that is wrong, we will let you know and may even end up deleting your tag?
5. Do you understand that without proper credits you may not be able to use the tags you make on other forums that check for every proper copyright and that includes this forum?
If you read and understand these rules, please sign below that you understand them.

Copyright Info #2 if you are still wanting more information read this:
- Spoiler:
- First and foremost, putting copyright on all tags, images, and graphics we create is about giving credit where credit is due.
Always check an artist TOU (Terms of Use). Some just require their name, others want a URL on the image, others (especially those acquired from places that sell tubes) require the LICENSE number you get from them on their images.
IF YOU CANNOT FIND AN ARTIST'S TOU, DO NOT USE THEIR IMAGES! If you see an image you like on the internet, but cannot find out who created it, DON'T use it! It's that simple!
And, please note: Artist are subject to change their TOU, so if you have a favorite artist, bookmark their site so you can check for changes and updates frequently.
ONE Copyright per image!! No exceptions!
Who gets the copyright? The FOCUS of your tag, image, or graphic gets the copyright. All other “ELEMENTS” are credited differently.
What are “Elements”? also known as embellishments, background images, frames, masks, significant ‘items’ or a flower or 2 or any other things you use to embellish your tag that stand out in your creations but are NOT the focus of your tag.
MY TOU at Fotki reads: All images are copyright chakoteh and cannot be combined with any artist except WIGH. If you use WIGH images and elements and something of chakoteh’s, the copyright should read:WIGH.
If you use a flower or two, some other embellishment NO CREDIT is required. If you use a lot of my embellishments (and do not use WIGH images, then you can decide if you used enough that those embellishments should be credited).
EXAMPLES: (chakoteh or anyone else's tube that is the FOCUS of your tag), background you find at Pixabay—maybe you modify it some and want to add a building or lighthouse or some other image that is quite noticeable but the TUBE is still the focus of the image.chakoteh
Background Pixabay or BarnJSmith if you want to credit the artist.
Or
IF the barn and the background came from Pixabay:
Background Pixabay
YOU take a picture that is the focus of your tag. You embellish your tag with a lot of flowers from WIGH’s collection, and you add a mask by EssexGirl:Your name
Flowers WIGH
Mask EssexGirl (most mask makers do not ask for credit) A link, or a mention is appreciated, but not essential (from her TOU) we never credit masks unless that is the only thing used with maybe an animated background. Then--Mask Made
Tag'd by your name (optional)
You take a family pic and want to enhance as an Easter tag or some other tag, so you find a lot of elements, including a frame or a mask by Persia Designs.Your name
Frame by Persia Designs
You create a background primarily using embellishments from pictures you have taken or tubed, you get a tube or tubes from Animation Lessons Safe Tubes (lighthouse, plants, other items from AL safe tubes—all items you add to the background you made come from AL Safe Tubes.
ALST
Background: Your name (could be Background & Animation: Your name)
If in the above, your background is really the focus (that is where the eye is drawn) and the embellishments are not the focus then YOU get the copyright and embellishments ALST.
@Your Name
Embellishments: ALST
When it comes to things like frames and masks, you need to look at the creators TOU. EssexGirl likes her masks credited, other people don’t care and you do not have to list them in your attributes. Same with some Frames or Cluster Frames in particular. Some say if you have a tube that is copyrighted, you do not need to list them as the creator of the frame. For me, I still want to list them but you can decide that for yourself.
The above requires that you KNOW EXACTLY where everything in your tag came from. If you need or want a picture of a Barn and the barn in your tubes folder has no credit…delete it! Go to Pixabay or some other site and find a barn to mist out or tube so that you can say Barn Pixabay. GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.
About Pixabay:
I have images on Pixabay. I had to agree that any image I uploaded can be used WITHOUT credit or they would not even evaluate what I submitted.- From Pixabay:
- Pixabay is a vibrant community of creatives, sharing copyright free images, videos and music. All contents are released under the Pixabay License, which makes them safe to use without asking for permission or giving credit to the artist - even for commercial purposes.
Is all content on Pixabay free to use?
Pixabay contents are free to use for commercial and non-commercial purposes. However, depicted content may still be protected by trademarks, publicity or privacy rights. While no payment is needed to use the media, it is always appreciated when you credit the contributor as it provides exposure to their work and encourages them to continue sharing. While not required, we also allow users to make donations to contributors. Find out how below under Downloads and Donations.
So, you don’t even have to credit them period. However, if you want to be copyright aware and give credit where credit is due, we suggest at minimum you credit Pixabay for what you got from them.
IF you want to go a step further, click on the image, get the artists name and use that appropriately. EXAMPLE: You find a background you love by Robert Doeski, you have a tube that is the focus, you mist out part of the background and you want RD to get some creditRobert Doeski
Background:RDoeski or Pixabay But since it's his background this part is not needed
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
To my knowledge, Pixabay is the only image hosting site that offers FREE downloads and use of ALL images uploaded.
NOTE: If you have any questions or have an image you created and aren't sure if it is credited properly, post it in the topic, and I will give you feedback. If you have specific questions, ask. If what is written here is not clear, ask in this topic I will keep trying to "clarify" until what is said is understandable.
Tags or any images that are NOT properly credited will be DELETED. Sig tag, snag, ANY tag w/o proper credits will be deleted. A private message will be sent as a courtesy.
Thank you,
Vikki/chakoteh
PLEASE POST THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND AT LEAST THE ABOVE PART OF THIS COPYRIGHT INFO BEFORE YOU POST ANY KINDS OF SNAGS, TAG, OR OTHER IMAGES.
