Since art theft is such a big issue on ferzu I think it would be a good idea to create a page or something with artwork people can use if they don't have their own art (yet). This to hopefully bring the numbers for stolen art down. I think a lot of the time when people use stolen art they probably don't know any better. Instead of only having rules saying you shouldn't steal art I think it would be a good idea to give them another option so they feel less inclined to steal art in the first place.

Artists on ferzu could choose to donate art to this cause (I definitely would donate) and there could be a link to the page in the rules with something along the lines of "if you do not have any art yet you can find some free to use art in this link. Don't forget to credit the artist if you do end up using the art though." and maybe the welcome bot could add this to their welcome message too. Less importantly I think this would be a great way to support artists too if this idea works, because it could help them get their art out there and attract customers.

The gender options on Ferzu are pretty good. But I've seen some users mention how the options available don't necessarily describe their identity. I understand that it's a drop down with selections to be used for searches. I'm not suggesting we remove that, or add more options.

I'm suggesting a feature that is on Facebook. Some people don't know about this option but it has gender tags. In a spot you can type in your gender and it will turn it into a tag. It could replace the current system if you want, if not it could just be a spot where we put our gender's name for example genderfluid, bigender, queer, etc.

As another bonus, the info that appears on profile hover could have this text box's info listed on it. So it would say for example, my name, age, location, gender from that box, then recent photos.

I think regardless of this there should be pronoun options on profile hover info. I can say this would cut back on a lot of misunderstandings and arguments. People would be corrected much less and this would cause less conflict.

In previous times I had reported a very hateful member for cisphobic posts and very blatant hate mongering towards cis/straight people.

I am a member of the LGBTQ+ but I have friends who have mentioned their concerns about not feeling welcome due to posts similar to this and they feel they cannot report it because it is not listed within the written rules despite probably being blanketed into the intolerance policy. I also know for a fact you can be banned for it so I just don't understand how it has not been listed yet.

Please fix this so EVERYONE feels safe and welcome to using Ferzu.

I've noticed that when people upload art now, users are telling them they have to credit the artist, even if it's themselves.

If true, Ferzu should just add an Artist field. When you upload an image or edit its caption, the Artist field is required.

There could be three bubbles. A bubble for "Photo", a bubble for "I'm the artist", and a bubble for "Not my art". If you select the last bubble, you have to fill the artist's name in a field.

Then the system could automatically display the artist name or "user's art" depending on which one they filled in. (It would display nothing if they select Photo.)
