What is DNP / Avoid Posting

DNP ("Do Not Post") / Avoid Posting is a condition an artist can set that restricts who can upload what of their art to the site.

By default, a few things are always DNP:
Posting DNP (Do Not Post) content, whether knowingly, or unknowingly, may lead to disciplinary action and the removal of the offending content.

  • Paysite content under 2 years old.
  • "Free" Pay-What-You-Want content (meaning you can buy it for $0.00) for 2 months after having been made available for "free"
  • Content made by a minor, or containing a character owned by a minor, regardless of their current age.

Special Permissions

If for some reason you have been given permission to upload something that is DNP, please include proof in the image description otherwise it will be treated as DNP content and taken down. This may include the rights being transferred, the artist giving you the right to upload or other rare circumstances.

Getting added to the DNP List

To be added to our dnp list, either file a takedown and ask to be added, or send a message to any of our official accounts asking to be added to the DNP list. The same process works for getting removed from the DNP list, should you change your mind.

Avoiding DNP infractions

To avoid DNP infractions, you should:

  • Search for aliases of the artist below or on their profile page if you are not familiar with them.
  • If they do not have art on the site, ask permission first (though this should be done with any artist).
  • If you find you have posted DNP, flag it as soon as possible; you will not receive a record if you flag your own DNP post.

No record will be given if DNP content has been on the site for over 3 months, though it will still be deleted as soon as it's discovered.

The Avoid Posting List

Posting anything from the artists listed below will almost always result in disciplinary action.
Leeway will be given if you flag your own post for deletion, or if the post has been up for over 3 months.

Hint: If you wish to easily search for a specific artist, use the built-in search feature of your browser.

This can generally be quickly accessed by pressing Ctrl + F on Windows/Linux and Unix, and Command + F on OS X
