A few reports and modmails have come our way about people posting stuff from other people and I'm really not sure how best to handle it so I wanted to have an open (or even semi-open) conversation about it.

Aside from one post, it seems that the content being shared is linking directly to the source, meaning that the OP still has full ownership and control of their stuff. Personally, I don't see a problem with this as it gives the creator full control and ownership of the content - if they delete it, then all references to it should be removed too (assuming the content host isn't crap). My concern is that if we start removing this type of content, it will encourage what I think is the real problem:

Accounts that are ripping content and trying to pass it off as their own. This takes control and ownership away from the model, and generally any attribution there could have been. There have been a few times I've seen that in here and I have removed it when possible. When I come across that type of content in the wild, I always try to DM the model to let them know so they can properly report as needed.

Now, with this said - I am a mod here, but I'm not a content creator so my understanding things as a consumer may not be the same as one's understanding as a creator.

My goal has always been to try to be as open and fair to the community as possible. I'd really appreciate feedback on the question in general: "How do you feel when you see a post in a subreddit that directly links to your content (Pornhub, Onlyfans, Redgifs, etc)?"

If you guys want us to be more vigilant and remove it, please let me know - Preferably either in the comments or via modmail so me and /u/supercutethai are on the same page.

That aside - I want to thank all of our content creators here - new, old, and even deleted. I don't comment often, but thank you all for sharing your wet moments with our community. I really hope this is a community you enjoy coming back to, and as always - if you have any other suggestions or recommendations please don't be a stranger. We don't bite....without consent :P
