Would it help if I set up the saucebot I’m planning?
You’d be able to make low effort image posts (and choose a title), then it would find and comment with artist credit, socials, and a link to the highest quality source file it can find.
I’ll basically be taking the parts of my posting tool that generate my post bodies, and make it possible to get back the result in a comment either automatically, or by commenting “sauce” or something.
Are you saying that they have copied or are reuploading their works?
They got confused by an alias for the same artist.
ah, that makes sense. I heard that’s very common with manga artists.
It’s common on the internet in general. In this case a persons real name vs their username online, which are two names basically everyone online has.
Basically me being overprotective of an artist I am fond of.
Not a bad thing. She is very good, and has a distinct style I also love. I’ll be posting more (unless someone gets to it first, hint hint).
Without automation, its just too much work for me. cough cough

You had me sold at low effort!
I will however need the 411 on how to use saucebots. I’m familiar with automation but never used anything for forums.
Ideally I’ll have it detect posts that don’t include source, and just have it comment on those without further complication.
Failing that, you’ll be able to summon it with a mention or keyword.
I’ll announce it and provide instructions, once it’s a thing. No timeline yet.
I think that would be helpful. Need help testing it?
Not yet at least. In a way it’s already being tested, I’ll be able to reuse a lot of code from my posting tool which is already kind of a bot.
I hope I raised some eyebrows when I enabled it and my account started posting 24/7 :D
Its up? By the way, is there a legs focused moe, its for a guy I know.
If it replies to this, then it’s up and working.

Still WIP.
There is !thiccmoe@ani.social but nothing for legs only.
