Kinda curious about this; what's the deal with folks cutting off the artist's name and site?
I read the "ads" argument in the comments, but I don't buy it as attribution isn't an advert. So what's it actually all about?

There's one singular vocal guy around that doesn't like that authors sign their work and thinks that's blatant and dishonest self-promotion.
That's all.

Even better, they think a signature is self promotion but that users should instead provide links to the creator's page because that isn't self promotion while not including a link themselves after cropping off the signatures.
The user's logic makes no sense and they don't even follow it!

What's especially crazy is he does this to artists who make web comics, but when he posts news articles he posts a link to the article and sometimes an excerpt, and some of those include the names of the authors. So the only "ads" that count are the signatures/watermarks/socials on web comics.

Yeah that's someone secretly hoping others will think they created the work

And has been making new accounts (and using an older account with a different name).

A user is going around trying to get a rise out of other users and it's working.

It also doesn't help that the comm admin has been MIA for a few months. Imagine what would happen to your conservative community if you stopped moderating it for even a week.

My community is a pleasure to moderate actually I have had to do three moderation actions in the last three months.

Found this part really funny
Because is something that a lot of musicians do today, having a spundbite that they use in all their songs. There's this one CRRDR that uses the roadrunner bip-bip sound, and in Baile Funk every producer had his own that are integral part of the songs and sometimes DJs mix the soundbite in interesting ways

It's literally a troll doing a bit of trolling. Just block !Beep@Lemmus.org.

And all their alts.
Which keep coming, but are super easy to spot (they are the ones cropping out author attributions:-P with usually some snark specifically pointing that fact out).
