I blocked that user the other day. They spam content, which is intentionally degraded, and they troll people who call them on it. I thought about saying something, but I looked at their history and this is just what they do, all the time. I didn't know they made a whole platform about it. Thanks for the context.

Like, I even get what they're saying. I would not appreciate art if it were watermarked across the middle. I wouldn't hate it, I'd either downvote it or not vote at all. I would consider that trashy, though there's probably a reason (people stealing art and making stickers of it, for example). I just would not upvote it. But what this user is doing is going to the trouble to crop artist names off of comic strips because they believe the artist should not be known. They want the credit for what they do but they don't think others should get credit, and that's the problem.

I have tagged them so I know to downvote when they remove signatures (sometimes they don't notice, which is amusing)

lol. I also have apparently had that user already tagged as toxic.
