Thanks much. This helps. While I personally don’t post other OC’s content, I mod several communities where the content mix will likely become dominated by mostly OC, so your answers are a good guide for future posters into the communities.

Just as an aside, I’ve had the following rule on the OC focused subreddits I have on Reddit, mainly to respect OC creators, and at the same time allows us to weed out karma farmers and repost bots:

from r/butterflywings sidebar NEW- If you find a post of an awesome labia posted by an amateur OC poster, please invite the poster to directly post here. We will no longer allow xposts of such content here, without the OP’s consent. If you already have obtained such consent, please add a comment into the post such as “(x)posted with u/<redditor>'s consent”.

I plan on adding same rule here to various communities I mod.

Respect and Consent: Treat all members with respect and obtain consent when sharing explicit content involving others.

Does this mean that we are not allowed to post other OC’s content here without their knowledge/consent? what about crossposting a post that an OC has made in a community to other communities within this instance, what about to places outside of this instance?

What if the person/people involved in the post are not members here of this lemmy instance, but elsewhere in fediverse or websites elsewhere - does it make it ok to post their OC then without consent simply because they are not “members”?

What about unattributed photos/images grabbed off the web. How do we get consent?

[Addition] Are moderators primarily responsible for enforcing this rule and banning/removing content posts? Can moderators be reported/removed from comms for NOT enforcing these rules for posters and by allowing posters to ignore this rule and allow such content in their comms?

I wouldn’t, only simply because I’m already spending way more time than I should be with Comms.
