#admin belladonna

The way it was explained, our blog is kept active by an archive-reblogger, which is set up to reblog posts from our own history. It is these posts that you’re seeing, which the script sometimes hacks the captions and such off—it only occurs on our self-reblogs, which means that the original post (when we first reblogged it) maintained the original captions, links, etc.

This is actually not our intention anyway, but that is how it has gone. As it happens, the reblogger script we use is kinda fiddly, and it refuses to save the settings Admin Belladonna has tried to set up, which would maintain the captions, etc.; we aren’t sure how to correct this at the moment, but thought it was better to make sure our followers still get a steady stream of content that they might have missed before (and if they’re interested, can follow through to the original reblog which will have the captions, etc.).

You’ll notice that, in the same vein, our self-reblogs are not tagged with the ships in question, so as not to flood our tags with the same images over and over again (which would be especially noticeable for tags which don’t have many posts in.)

((Confession Bear: This confused the heck out of me when I noticed it, and I actually added the tags to an entire page and a half of self-reblogs before I noticed the reduplication and had to fix it. Bleh.))

tl;dr: We have the utmost respect for the artists we reblog, and absolutely do not intend to be disrespectful or reduce their exposure. We’re being screwed over by a script that isn’t doing what we told it to do. It’s a work in progress and we’re sorry for the trouble.
