While the artfight crit is high I should probably bring up a couple elephants in the room
I feel this rule just throws photographers under the bus big-time. Photography is another medium of art and as such deserves to be respected just as much as other forms of artwork. If you are expected to credit 2D and 3D artists for art you did not make, I think it stands to reason that you should be expected to credit photographers for pictures you did not take.
This isn't the only gripe I have with Artfight, since as it stands now with all the super-specific and strict-sounding rules it feels more like filing taxes or going to court than participating in what is ultimately a silly art trading game where the points don't really matter. I should not feel stressed over the thought I've broken a sub-guideline in the sea of rules and I'm gonna be executed by firing squad as a result whenever I post something on artfight.
Yes, I am aware that the rules have been like this for years. No, that does not change the fact that they seriously need to be trimmed down and simplified.
