I have a question regarding the tagging of manipulated pictures or "manips." Right now there seems to be a policy in place for tagging manips with the person who did the image editing. So for example, "manip_(mindwipe)" or "lost+name (manipper)". What I am wondering is, when the source of an image is identified -- like in this case here http://hypno.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=393 -- do you want us to introduce a tag with the original artist's name or not? And if so, how?

On most boorus the policy seems to be to include the artist's name as a tag. That way people who like the artist's artwork can find more like it. But I don't see that happening much on Hypnobooru and I'm wondering if there's a reason for that besides people just not knowing who drew what.

Then, if we assume you do want the original rtist listed, I'm wondering how you want them listed. On boorus like Danbooru or Gelbooru, there appears to be a special way to indicate that the tag you're writing is the artist's name and the result is that their name shows up in a different color than normal. I haven't seen anything like that here so, in the absence of such a feature, how do you want us to standardize this? Some examples are provided below:
1) just the name. So like "saburou", "ookami_ryousuke", and "john_macintosh"
2) "saburou_(artist)"
3) "saburou_(original_artist)"

We specify "_(manipper)" just because we didn't want to make it seem like we were giving the editor credit for the original image. In this case of manips, I'm not sure how many people here want to know who the artist of the pic is. Speaking purely for myself, I only care who the artist is if it's an original hypno/MC pic. So, I don't typically tag the original artist on manips. (And I usually forget who the original artist is, anyway)

If it's something people would like, though, we could allow it. But I wouldn't put any kind of clarification after the artist's name.

Actually, come to think of it, I lied.

In this pic, I tagged both myself as the manipper, and radprofile as the artist. So, I guess I unwittingly set precedent for this.

It's better to have the artist tagged if you know who it is then to leave people wondering. Nothing wrong with tagging for the artists.

As Mindwipe said, we only added _(manipper) to avoid confusion. It would cause trouble if an artist thought someone else took credit for their work.
