The images used when anonymous users try to upload things

@Mobian #BBDF

Thank you!

AMS has had a fundraising page up for over a year… and not had anything to put into it, besides requesting supporting the parent project. During this prealpha period, that's been fine. But the site is growing, registrations are picking up (even though I've never advertised this site…) and new content appears every day. Soon it'll be time to expand the core server and add 1-2 more servers, which means it'll be a bit more than $2/day!

There is one hard requirement which has stymied my personal search: Any services must allow adult content. Smut has never been a focus of AMS, but we definately do not want to have to start splitting hairs over what is and what is not allowed at an arbitrary time down the road, or have to do a literal decimation of our database.

So, I turn to you, the Mobians of mobius.social: What services have you used and can recommend? I am looking for:

• a recurring patronage system (Patreon-style),
• a one-off donation system (Ko-Fi-style), and
• a merchandise system (RedBubble style).

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.

It's been a while since we changed the quick tag chart! Surge and Kit have been added, and some sections expanded.

Totally didn't cause a crash upon reboot.

After some thought, I'm going to be migrating all the character-specific outfit tags to something that implies who owns them. This should make it easier to find in tag autocompletion.

For example: "red halterneck outfit" > "amy's halterneck dress"

Outfit tags that describe a look not evocative of any one character (cowpoke outfit, maid outfit, zone cop outfit, etc) won't be changed.

Small alteration to rule 1: 'adoptables' explicitly added to the list of commercial art that may not be uploaded to AMS.

This is not much of a rules change since it already was pretty clear not to put up art from art packs.

2/3/2020:

Rule 5.4 has been removed.

Rationale: We were a bit too overzealous, and accidentally banned pictures of some important Sonic characters — Maria Robotnik, Princess Elise, and Chris Throndyke among them. A similar rule will be added in the future.

Changes to the quick tag table.

Sonic Prime added to the Default filter for spoilers.

The icon to the left of 'art.mobius.social' in the header bar.

Oh, here's a real subtle one — the hover-overs for upvotes and downvotes are "Yay!" and "Neigh!"

Maybe "Cool!" and "No good!"

If you click 'share' below any image it gives a block of BBCode that includes a link to 'localhost:4000'.

It's probably saving us from a lot of "Meme Approved" uploads killing the server, but we should probably fix video uploads.

Commission categories still mention The Old Series.

The default spoiler image for 'questionable'-rated images.
