Black Back Bear

Also, I would like to say, no one reblogs art posts to get likes. People reblog art to keep an archive of art they like on their blog. They want to show it off, not to say it's theirs, but say "I love this thing and want everyone else to see this thing I love" and your url is still credited under every reblog. Because reblogs are an inherent part of Tumblr, Tumblr is never going to totally delete a post! Even if the original creator deleted it! Tumblr will very very rarely delete a post so that it can't be circulated in any way, and in most cases only does so if the original poster was banned from the site entirely, even then it can still circulate, it is just glitched and doesn't have notes.

In general, you should treat the internet like whatever you post (text, images, etc) will be on it forever, but platforms like Tumblr are especially designed for the longevity of content. I would suggest you consider this every single time you post anything. I don't think it's fair of you to call someone out for using the platform the way it was designed - if they were "reposting" and pretending they drew the art, that would be 100% bad. If they were reposting and removed credit to you, that would be 100% bad. But your credit is there with every reblog, and you do not actually get likes from reblogs. The person is clearly just a fan of your art and wanted to be able to find it easily again.

You may not be a fan of your own art anymore, you may not want it to circulate anymore, but the reason people reblog it is because they find something to like about it even now. You might be sick of reposters, but because you are a talented artist, it is unfortunately inevitable. Even if it wasn't reblogged anywhere - I guarantee your art is on some other website still. Or even google images. You just have to make peace with that and either

1. stop sharing fanart at all or only with a private group of people you trust or

2. only post new art on platforms without a "reblog" system like Twitter or Pixiv, even if it will probably still be reposted somewhere else, at least if you see it on Tumblr later you can get it removed as you can claim copyright infringement. (but only if you didn't post it yourself already to Tumblr, even in the past, since reblogs don't count as "repost")

At least on Tumblr, when someone reblogs, it always links back to your original account even if the post was deleted. That is not the case for google images or Pinterest or the many other sites that exist to host art.

You can try, but you ultimately can't control what people do with your art once it's online. You can't have it both ways where you have 100% control but also get lots of likes and engagement. The more people see your art, the more likely it is they will do things you don't want them to do. You can report copyright infringement, but the Tumblr reblog system itself is not copyright infringement. That's it. And harassing someone by publicly @ ing them for using a website the way it was designed is not okay, even if you feel uncomfortable and hurt. I'm not saying reposting is a good thing, but in the first place, the assumption on Tumblr is that reblogs are always okay if it is possible to reblog a post. Back in the day, you used to have to ask people not to reblog and just hope they would be polite. But now you can literally remove the ability to reblog posts, so in general there isn't an excuse to get mad at people. All you can do is block them, if you don't like what they say in a reblog, or don't want someone to reblog your work. No one sees "reblogs" as "reposting" because it links back to the original posters blog. The image is copied to another blog, yes, but if you hadn't deleted the posts, all of the likes would go back to you. Even then, as I have stated before, no one reblogs for the sake of "getting likes" or whatever you think. "I" get like 1 or 2 likes max per reblog, but they don't go to "me", they go to the post and the original post's owner. Only the likes of original posts are counted as "your" likes. But since you deleted the post, they just go back to the post and no one else. The likes aren't recorded as "so and so's likes" they are recorded as the "notes" on a post, if that makes sense. It's like when on Twitter you can see if someone liked a retweet you made, even if you didn't actually tweet whatever it is yourself. It's just telling you that someone you follow "liked" that you shared something, you don't get to "keep" the likes.

I said in my bio "no repost", not "no reblog" tho. Reblog is not stealing, sure. But download other people's arts and upload them again, even if you've put the author's name and link in that post you posted, is still repost. Some ppl are okay with that and some are not. It was actually an old topic that has been discussed and discussed on this very site. Hence my "the state of this site". It appears to me that you don't seem to know or see the difference.
