You’re preaching to the choir here, I agree.

no one should ever feel like they have some kind of right to post someone else’s art.

It sure would be nice if the posts were the links directly to the artists own site, not rehosted elsewhere, that way the clicks might benefit them. It happens from time to time, but doesn’t seem to be commonplace. Hopefully when the mod returns, some changes will help shape this community for the better.
