Topic: Artist is DNP but I have their permission?

Posted under General

An artist on here is listed as DNP but they gave me their express permission in a message to do so. I can provide evidence of this but the images get deleted because of said DNP order. There doesn't seem to be any kind of way to bring this up with moderation staff and they just delete the posts. I'm rather new here so I'm not sure what I am meant to do in this scenario. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

From avoid_posting's wiki page:

3. 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.

Oh thanks, I must have missed that. So reupload with a screencap of the permission given in a link in the description would be appropriate?

No, do not reupload the deleted post.
Just contact the mod in charge (user #95927) of your deleted posts via the Send Message option on the navigation bar and send them the proof of permission.
They will undo the deletion so there's no need for reuploading.

Thanks for helping out.

Sorry, I just edited the "Send Message" link on my last comment. It should work now.

Just note that next time, you should include a link to a screenshot of the permission within the description of your post if the artist is CDNP.
