Posting as “true anon” (that is, when signed out or in incognito mode) will do the most to preserve your privacy in the event of something like a database breach.

I have seen people go both ways, personally I’d stick to a single account. The anonymization functionality will ensure you’re “untraceable” where only moderators and admins of the site can see behind it. So you can achieve everything of having 2 accounts with a single one but with the added benefit of keeping all the “stats” directly on your main for badges and what not. Just remember to check/uncheck the anon box before uploading or posting/commenting.
 

 
The site will count with a more in depth listing in the future with criteria and available badges but for now you’re advised to request them on this thread.
 
Cheers!

I understand. Honestly, I’m more than happy to try to find a source for some of these things, but after so much time I have doubts as to whether I can, or if I’d even know where to look. And I’d rather not cause or be the cause of trouble over that, if I can help it.
 
I will say wasn’t aware a secondary site was allowed as a source. That’s good to know. Not sure it will help in my case, but still good to know.
 
 
@Fleetfoot  

Just in terms of privacy, is it better to go with a secondary account over the anonymous option? I know some people do, but it’s not something I’ve ever really played around with.
 
 
@Fleetfoot  

Is there an option for that sort of thing in our settings, or would it be something I’d have to make a special request for?

@Anonymous #EB28  
Ideally everything should have a source even if just a secondary place people can access the image to with valid information from the artist such as e621 and alike is acceptable if no better/direct is available.
 
If you have something that’s been ‘long gone’ and really can’t be sourced in any way can still be uploaded but they will carry “source needed” tag.
 
We do permit users to have more than one account as long as in conformity with the rules, if you’d want all your badges to be migrates to your main account that can be done without much trouble.

I’ve been wondering for some time now, what if there is information we are unsure of regarding potential uploads? I’m sure I’m not the only older person here who has been collecting… let’s just say “a while”, and I suspect finding a source or determining whether posting is permitted might become difficult with stuff that was created the same year Jurassic Park first came to theaters. Or even with items created in the early part of this millennium. And that’s not even counting things like whether it’s the best quality source or who artists are/were/may have been. I’m just wondering what to do in that kind of situation.
 
Another thing I have been wondering, if we set up more than one account to dissociate certain kinds of images as much as possible from a main account (more so, I would assume, than the anonymous upload feature allows), would it just be the alternate account that gets the badge for uploads, or would all the ones belonging to the account holder get the badge as well? I am assuming it’s the former, but I’m not sure I’ve seen it addressed anywhere.

@PwnyPony  
At the rate we’re going probably a month

How many weeks do you think it will take to reach 50,000?
 
from now.

@Lewdman03  
I suggest uploading a few more to make sure.

@Fleetfoot  
Ok gone through and counted, with a few more uploads i now have 300

@Fleetfoot  
Oh ok

@Lewdman03  
03 of your uploads were either deleted or merged so your real count is at 297.

@Lewdman03  
Look up your uploads to make sure that none of them were merged or deleted.

@Lewdman03  
Nope. Other than wait until we reach 50,000 images now.

So I just uploaded my 300th picture here, can I double check there’s nothing else required to get the badge?

@MagpulDynamicPie  
(Oh….thanks….that will help me!

@NyantaStarhunt  
I think there’s a tag for images with no source.

Yes however, i have very little time on my hands right now in life. I have a lot but i don’t have the source for most as i downloaded them ages ago

@NyantaStarhunt  
I thought so too at first.

No way in hell i will be able.to do this. I can try anyway

@Luna  

 
Me having an ability to upload the entire thing of Derpi pics:  

 
nah i just sit calm and just upload my own artwork little by little

@Jinx  
Did you get stuck for a bit too?

@Luna  
Cool. That works for me.

@Jinx  
No badge
 
@Lewdman03  
You should also search for my:uploads and see how many results that gives you. It’s probable (but not certain yet) that we won’t count deleted uploads when evaluting upload counts.

So, what happens if were, say, 15 or so off by the end of the event? No badge or pity badge?

@Lewdman03  
Welcome. Mine is 317, if you need to look at mine to figure it out.
