Lurdanjo's Shouts

Journals are under the 'submit' button on the top of the page, and collections can only be offered by the original submitter at the moment. We have a special box on our own submissions that only we can see that says 'Offer to user:' where one can punch in names to send it to for collection. Sorry if that has already been answered. c:
Welcome to Weasyl Lurdanjo, and thanks.-
Has the site philosophy for "collections" changed yet? In any case I left a rant in my journals about it. I think it's pretty civil, but I'm still angry about it because it's extremely unintuitive and I already had at least one artist deny me the collections request.
-
Yes. Twitter (@Weasyl): 'There's been some misinformation floating out there, so let's clear that up! Collections are not mandatory, just preferred. Commissioners are welcome to upload art they bought as long as they have permission from the original artist." / Yes, that's a better word to use! Thanks. Clients are allowed to post purchased work as long as they have permission.'
(By fiz Further questions, I'd say go ask Fiz or the admins in general!

Thank you for that! I also found a way to display collections on my profile, which is a huge plus and step in the right direction, too. I still think the collections system needs a serious revamping if they want people to use it (I can understand saving space on the server), and the only real concern I still have is that this philosophy makes me feel unwelcome here if their clear preference is that I don't upload anything because I didn't draw it.
-
If anything, my interpretation of this is 'Please by all means post stuff you didn't draw if you had it drawn for you, YES!' I've seen hundreds of examples go through recent uploads in the last few days. Example of many:
https://www.weasyl.com/user/aurafox , who has...dozens, maybe a hundred or more posted that aren't drawn by him, but is of his character. Thus, collections optional as they said.
