It would help, i think

Due to old code remnant only the Janitors and higher ranks can see the uploader name directly on the post's page.
However any logged in user can indirectly see that as well by entering the History>Tags/Desc and scrolling down to the post version XYZ:1 - that user is always the original uploader (but not nessesarly the director of the image)

I remember this being a thing on e621 ages ago, then it got removed at some point.

Guess that's an old E621 remnant, yes. They disabled them years ago (though recently seem to have re-added them for certified artist accounts) because a few people apparently kept confusing the uploader for the artist or some shit.

And there were rare instances of idiots being overprotective of 'their' art, like them being supposed to be THE one uploading stuff from artist-X. But that was really uncommon.

not the reason
was because of "upload sniping" and some pesky uploaders trying to upload it before the artist and just being a nuisance because even if they did the artist still had the superior version because no compressions and others, and having fights over other uploaders for being "the first to upload haha i win"
which still happens to this day(it happened to me when i used to upload on e621)

tho that reason is actually the reverse because now people always seems to think that the artist is the one uploading when it's just another uploader, even saying artists have an account on e621 when it's actually just the tag, these people are either stupid and don't understand how e621 works or are a minor(usually the latter)

Oh yes, that definitely too. Or maybe it was the only actual reason, now that you mention it. Been a while, my memory's a bit hazy.

That's actually a very good point and seems like it'd be a more frequent issue than my own first argument.

We will look into it

Guys can you add some sort of automatic tag if no director is inscribed? No director name from uploader -> unknown_directer or anonymous_director.
It getting super flustrating to blacklist stuff. I feel ppl doing it on purpose and do not put any name director to avoid blacklist.. They do not put even those two tags, so basically i can't fucking blacklist it.

What are you trying to blacklist that warrants the director tag?

I can't blacklist stuff like this. https://e6ai.net/posts/117122
There so no name director. People do not add anonymous_director. or unknown_director.
This could be easly solved if system automaticaly tag it as unknown_director if nothing is writed. So my blacklist will normally work.

I had those 2 tags on my blacklist anonymous_director. and unknown_director but whats the point if ppl leaving it blank and do not use basic tags when uploaded their stuff..

People doing it because either they are lazy or they want to avoid blacklist by ppl, so they do not put their name as director and do not use any tags that could help with blacklisting it. No director tags = you can only black list by using some popular tag, but you will kill all other good works who had that tag.
Fucking bullshit.

First; If you looked at the tags attentively, you would had seen the director was actually tagged, it was the first post under yoshi95 and the uploader probably didn't know he had to change the category of his tag to "director"

Second; Now that it is correctly tagged, the blacklisting of anonymous_director and unknown_director would not prevent you to see it at least one artwork of the director in question. And if the tag changes, you will see it again.

Third; Unless what you don't wanna see is a specific director's artwork, blacklisting director tags is the most inefficient way to blacklist images: You'll constantly have new director producing similar artwork to the one made by directors you blacklisted

Fourth; There's a over 30 other tags in the artwork you gave as an example you can blacklist to prevent you to actually see "stuff like this" (Whatever that meant)

Fifth; No one conspire to make you look at stuff you don't wanna see. And you have the option to "stop being lazy" yourself and tag those post.

anonymous_director and unknown_director are mostly synonyms for no director, so trying to blacklist these is kinda pointless
As for the yoshi post you mentioned, simply take a look how combined blacklist entry works https://e6ai.net/help/blacklist
In your case these 2 lines should be enough to block every realistic yoshi you see
yoshi realistic yoshi photorealism

First of all, if it happens that post don't have any director tag and don't even have anonymous_director or unknown_director, it's against the rules and you should report it.

I do agree, you don't have a tag for posts that are just barely passing approval, and it can be really annoying to see some of them. let's say that post you have linked have anonymous_director without any artist tag.
You need to go to Tags/Desc and the first user is the one who uploaded it. so in this case you can then put into your blacklist user:yoshi95 and all of his uploads will be backlisted. doesn't matter if they have director tag or are anonymous_director.
If the user is a mixed bag, and uploads images of various quality, you can even put into blacklist user:XXXXXX score:<50 So you will see uploads from the user only if they have higher score than 50

I know it does seem like a hassle, but you will find out you will need to do it only like 20 times to get rid of 90% of culprits.
