Stock linking Suggestion

Description

Well that took longer then I thought it would lol.

In one of my groups #Black-White-Club we accept all art media. Photominips included.
But all too often it doesnt say anywhere, where the stock images came from.
Im always saying I will need to see links to the stock used. Or have it stated if its the artists own art.

This is an idea I have had swimming around in my head for well over a year now, but never thought how it would be possible. But now dA is showing ( or is that just in v7? ) the category in the artist comment its self and no longer up the top of the page like it used to.
This is the perfect place I think, to add username and link to stock used when submitting to Photomanipulation category.

I have always thought that every Photomanipulation should at the very lest have the username of the art used.
I would love it is it was made so when you submit to Photomanipulation category you MUST click on the add stock link thing I have done here.

That way stock artist will always be credited.
And if its your own photo used in it, it says it is.

No longer will you have to ask the person where they got the stock from, or if its their own photo. As it will all say right there.

With the option of a pop up coming up if you click on the "dA stock" letting the artist know if the link given isnt from the stock category reminding people you need to ask if its not a stock image.
It may very well also help to stop people from "stealing" peoples art. eg/ using art without asking. :no:

Also if its added to the "Outside dA" category. if a link to a copyrighted image, how easy would that be to find where it came from. making it very easy to report them for art theft.
And if they add a random link. Clearly they must be lying about where they got the image from, so report making it very easy.


I realise a person can still just add it under the "My own photo" part if its stolen or something.
But if this suggestion ever become something, then maybe there wouldnt be an option of not adding it to dA. It could be so you must submitted it to dA, even if only as a scrap, then link to it.


I dunno, anyways only an idea :D
What you all think?

It's a good idea, I had a similar idea but could never really get it to work right in my head.
