go fucking source

Most people post source on pictures but it gets taken off by some people that reblogs it. You're not helping anybody by changing the source to your blog. You're just making it harder for people like me to go to the original poster and find the source that they put.

Actually no, most people DON’T post the source back to the photographer, that’s why this URL was made, and I’m sure I want people to visit my SIDE blog, just look at my amazing theme and all the pictures I reblog, I definitely blog on this, yeah.

"Ask me anything and quit hiding behind anond" even though the sidebar picture is the anonymous icon and you mention that youre not giving out your personal url... Makes alot of sense.

I’m glad you have eyes, I could careless what anyone thinks of this side blog, me and the rest of the admins just wanted the URL to send a message to non-sourcing blogs, I’ve been saying this since day 1.
Bye now :)

Just a question from a Tumblr newbie. Why do you advise creating a Flickr or 100px (?) account instead of sourcing to your own site? I just deleted my Flickr account as I just created my own portfolio site, and I'd rather not deal with Flickr again.

I only advertise those sites as an example to prove the picture is yours rather than putting someone’s blog URL in the source and click through with no prof what so ever, I know a couple photographers that use 500px now over Flickr.

can you not put your url as the source thanks

Why Crediting is Important

Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:46:34 -0500

whatiscredit:

What’s supposed to happen

What’s happening when you don’t credit

What you’re making them do

Every artist grow by displaying their work and getting critique. But when their work is spread around without any credit to the artist, AND EVEN MAKES THE OWN ARTIST DELETE IT FROM HIS/HER SITE it lost the purpose and meaning.

It really annoys me when people take my photography or Gifs and upload them as their own. What bothers me more is when I find them and ask them to take them down and they basically tell me to "eff off". I get it, it's the internet and you can't keep everything your own.. Even I am guilty of finding an image on Google and not sourcing it but that is because I don't know where that image is from and that is rare anyway. This one person though has stolen loads if my Gifs, It's annoying!

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 08:29:15 -0500

Yeah, i hear you, unfortunately, yes this is the internet and no matter how hard we try people will continue to steal photos and not source.

English please

^ I think she said she followed us… and she love us?

I’m not sure… I just used google translate. hahaha :P

Sorry if that last message came off as rude or patronizing, but I don't see how magnifying the problem is helping anyone. If you truly cared about crediting original artists and photographers you would take the time to find the source and replace URLs with the source, rather than ANOTHER tumblr. That's just perpetrating more 'stealing' if you ask me.

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 19:40:23 -0500

I know but when this side blog was made we had no intention of actually blogging on it, we don’t want followers, we actually don’t even want people to come to our blog. I mean come on, we have the default theme on it, lol, does it look like i want people to come here? I just want people to know that if they see “gofuckingsource” on a picture, they should know right away that it wasn’t sourced, yeah I’m not helping by putting my URL in the source and click through but i have support from a lot of people that accept what we do and a team to back me up, everyone has their own opinion, we don’t plan on using this as a source changing blog to its actual owners, you would have to no life on tumblr on a daily basis to cover all the unsourced pictures we see on here, all of us three admins have lives, we’re gonna stay how we are, sorry.

Ok, yeah I understand that, but if I source it to flickr people will still change it >.< funny you mention the landscape tag because I'm top contributor there :) anyway have a nice day! :)

Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:59:28 -0500

ah yes, that’s bound to happen, all the three admins of gofuckingsource have been top contributors to landscape so we know how it works, someone probably changed the source and put their blog and somehow it reached our dashboards unsourced, it happens.

Excuse me but why one of my pictures redirected me here? and even the source was changed... I own it so why did you change it?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 21:01:22 -0500

No, let me just put this out there cause you’re like the third person. Do not upload your own pictures through tumblr and put your own url in both the source and click through, you should know better than that, i suggest you make a flickr and or 100px ect. account and share it through there onto tumblr because if we see that, we will tag our name onto it because it’s not properly sourced, how are we supposed to know that its your picture when all you do is add your url to the source, no one has time to track where the picture came from, this is why people source to prove where the picture came from, if you head over to the featured #Landscape tag you’ll see 99% of the photos that get featured are sourced from a photo sharing site, usually Flickr with their correct sources, NOT someone’s URL. So take my advice and make an account on one of those sites, this team we have here at GFS changes ALL unsorced pictures to “gofuckingsource” to send a message to read the URL.

do y'all ever change any of m0rtality's stuff? i see him more than gofuckingnuts on my dash and it drives me INSANE.

Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:42:01 -0500

yeah actually i have, i used to see him frequent on my dash but not as much anymore, we don’t follow non sourcing blogs so if it reaches our dashboards then we switch it, especially from that person.

I feel bad that I didn't used to source my things because I didn't notice the little box for sources...I thought you guys were pedantic nutcases but now I know better. <3 Respect. -gives you a cookie and flees-

Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:19:01 -0500

i accept your cookie, thank you :)

usually when i reblog gofuckingnuts, I change the source to gofuckingsource, and I just put in the tumblr name to see who I was sourcing hahah, i never knew you guys actually existed xD

Mon, 31 Dec 2012 02:25:19 -0500

haha really? well this is the first, we do exist in many numbers to send out a message to those who dont source!

STOP CHANGING THE SOURCE ON MY UPLOADS YOU FLIPPING IDIOT. I DONT GET WHAT JOY YOU GET OUT OF IT!!

Wed, 26 Dec 2012 11:00:00 -0500

LOL ^ another one.

How about no. :)

I didn't get the first two :)

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:09:00 -0500

this is your first one and

ilu, if you're a girl, marry me, if yous a dude, brofist. Though your blog doesn't help the cancer of non-sourcing bloggers, it still sends a message! mofobian and gofuckingnuts is probably the biggest i've seen by far.

Tue, 18 Dec 2012 03:53:00 -0500

Sorry but I am inlove with someone else… :P

Some people have changed their old ways. Help us send the message bro! :)

You know what hurts though? Quote "How would you feel if you took a photo and someone else posted it on their blog without giving you any credit? People would think that they took that photo instead of you." You took away something from me, and it hurts. Everyone thinks that it's your photo now. No one knows it was me. No one changed the source before and I never had problems with this before you. So I'm going to ask you one more time to PLEASE change the source back.

Thu, 13 Dec 2012 08:18:57 -0500

this is like your 3rd message already, okay i understand if it’s your photo but you are misunderstanding, we have a lot of people changing unsourced photos everyday, who knows which one is yours, and no, I’m not asking for a link, i don’t care about this SIDE blog, i don’t want followers, all i wanted was the URL because its self explanatory, if you see my name on any photo everyone should know right away “oh this photo wasn’t sourced” now, in your situation i can’t control, but what i can tell you to do, for future reference, make a flickr or 500px ect. ect., don’t come to my ask box complaining away demanding because you think I’m stealing your photo, cause I’m not, you should know better than to post photography just on tumblr with only your blog URL in the source and click through.

I been seeing this url for quite sometime and the entire time i thought it was just people who hated gofuckingnuts changing it to gofuckingsource since that guy like hardly ever sources his shit. But after typing in the url and seeing this blog come up haha. Has throughly entertained and made my day. Thank you

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 11:22:54 -0500

No haha, our URL does somewhat come from him but we just want all people who upload to source so it went with the URL and your welcome!

THANK YOU FOR THIS BLOG. I eventually quit posting my photographs on Flickr because it had become a place for people to steal for their own blogs, and I knew when someone "favorited" my work, I would trace it back to their adjoining tumblrs later. I began only posting my pictures on my own tumblr and had to leave Flickr because of uncredited work.

Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:09:46 -0500

This is true, actually one of my favorite photographers that is well known recently quit Flickr and I’m sure it was because of people stealing his content, now hes only on 500px with watermarks which has no tumblr share option.

I love you all. Keep doing what you do, you all fucking rock.
