Any "Name That Porn" QUESTIONS..?

@herkalurk Thank you for your feedback.

@ Hidden User: This was a hypothetical question which I asked because I wanted to know how the community feels about handling recent low quality answers by (mostly) low level users.
This isn't about blame but about me aligning with the community, as I am a new user myself.

@freddyssecret who ''STEALS''

@freddyssecret if they're brand new like less than a few hundred points, I usually tell them how to format better and include the link. I'm not worried about points and not going to steal a front page answer from a new user. If you come accross a 1K point question that has a badly formatted answer from a newer user, look at how long it was posted and also if that user is even active. Sometimes the new user posted an answer close to when the question was asked, and never came back. I wouldn't feel guilty about stealing anything from someone who clearly doesn't care enough to login after a year or 2.

What do you guys think about immediately "stealing" a new user's (recent) answer that doesn't have proper syntax (mostly missing name tags)?

Previously, I've posted a comment and asked them to repost their answer with proper syntax and also linking to the answering guidelines. However, 20% or less of the people I have addressed like this have actually fixed their answer and following up with each post like this is a nuisance.

This leads to lots of threads being closed with improperly formatted answers and to 1k+ pts threads that could have been closed 2 days after the question was posted.

This brings us to my dilemma: is it okay to just steal new users' recent answers and improving them up to standard while risking to lose new users or should one help the new users, risking worse "quality of service"? What's your opinion?

@Katflying37

The first post by@MrSonderbar is not valid as an answer as@herkalurk points out. If it was, I would've confirmed it.

But how is my answer different? After all, it doesn't provide the video in OP's screencap either. To echo@Odetomaybe questions asking for a specific video of a cam model is often not a reasonable request. Most OPs don't seem to realize this.

First we have to assume that there's a video to begin with. It's much easier to make a capture of a cam show than it is to record a video. In the case of Orayoung, she's been camming for over five years. On one site I referred to, she has over 1800 videos.

There are at least 10 websites I use to find cam recordings. You can find them on my profile page. I include all meaningful search results in my answers. Using this many sources is often not necessary, but I prefer to be thorough when answering a question with a considerable bounty.

For this answer, six sites returned a significant number of videos. I went through five of the six sites searching for OP's video. The one with 1800 results over 166 pages I decided to skip. I looked through hundreds of videos. I didn't mind too much, she is gorgeous. In the end, I thought including "similar" videos in which she's wearing the same socks or a similar sweater was sufficent. I did not have a lot of visual info to start. Past answers of mine have been accepted with as much info and I would not hesitate to confirm a similar answer from a user I know to be thorough.

@aglinua
I generally consider the tags of those sites as trustworthy. I'll only check twice if the artist has been tagged less than 50 times. Sankaku is a bit more annoying as you have to login to see the source link.

No question but a little helper for reverse image searching video posts. I thought some of you might find it useful, too.

I wrote a little JavaScript snippet you can save as a bookmark which will open a new tab with the post's thumbnail.

Simply add a new bookmark and paste this as the URL:
javascript:window.open(document.querySelector("meta[property='og:image']").getAttribute('content'));

If you immediately want to search with Yandex's image reverse search, bookmark this:
javascript:window.open("https://yandex.com/images/search?rpt=imageview&img_url=" + encodeURIComponent(document.querySelector("meta[property='og:image']").getAttribute('content')));

It works on Internet Explorer so I guess it should work everywhere. There are a couple (old) posts that don't have thumbnails, those will open an empty tab so be aware of that.

What criteria should be used to determine whether or not an artist made a piece? Is r34/sankaku link enough, given the artist is tagged there? Not all artists have twitter sites and such.

@Katflying37 the example you've provided the user that posted the first answer didn't include a video, therefore it's not a valid answer to the question. I do see that NinNin didn't single out which video link is supposed to be the video in question, but don't act like the first answer was good.

@NinNin ... what happened with: "confirm the first valid answer" from your post below??, maybe it is not so f*cking obvious to you when it comes a bunch of points in the middle, what a two-faces dude..., I don't blame you if you're trying to get the points by putting a new answer in top of an old one, but at least get the right video!... and stop trying to discourage the enthusiast people to improve answers to close ancient posts with that argue of doing BS...c'mon your are doing that all the time...

Is there a way to search for a post by its number?

has a link to a picture from post 1208152 in text form not the actual picture.
The linked picture is definitely related IMHO, but would like to see it in context.

@freddyssecret @aglinua In the past, accounts that use link shorteners have been banned. This person is clearly spamming.

@freddyssecret It's certainly annoying enough and the answers aren't good enough for me to ever consider confirming him. I think he will learn that if he plays dumb games he won't get annything

Is monetizing your proof links tolerated?

There's a user that keeps posting low effort answers with proof links that seem to be monetized through an adf.ly type program. I can't even check the proof because I refuse to disable Pi-hole to use these links.

I don't think this should be tolerated as it slows down confirming and generally is a nuisance just to make a few cents. I already flagged this stuff a couple times but nothing has happened so far.
I'm aware that there's no rule against this but I think its unethical to a point where it should be punished.

What do y'all think?

@herkalurk @NinNin ok good to know!

@aglinua I agree with@herkalurk . Confirm the first valid correct answer. That is an answer with tags and supporting links. The answer has to be pretty obvious for me to confirm without links.

Some users think it's fine to post their own answer on top of a perfectly valid one if it hasn't been accepted after some time. It's not. They will say the answer is lacking because it hasn't received confirms. That's BS. There are many answers waiting for confirms, even years later, especially from lower level users who need more confirms for their answers to be accepted.

You are penalized only when you confirm an answer (if it's reviewed by a mod) that lacks tags or proof, doesn't answer the question completely or is wrong.

If you find a post that already has a valid answer in your opinion, then confirm it yourself. I know that I'm not the only one in this boat where I answered something years ago but it never got confirmed. I've started going to my oldest comments and adding them to the confirm thread to get those answers closed. The ultimate goal of this site is to get as many things answered correctly, so the more you confirm or answer yourself, the closer we are to that goal.

Sorry, it seems I'm the only one who's been spamming questions recently but I wanted to know what the etiquette on "stealing/tweaking" answers is?
Like I'm cool with doing an answer if the original is wrong, tagged wrong, lacks information etc. But what about old ones that are correct and never got confirmed/marked correct?
I've seen a lot of recent answers that just add a bit of new information (like official/trusted source links) and they get confirmed by good, high level answerers.
My principles don't like that but I also don't want to confirm the original answer since I will get a bad record. Is taking someone else's answer acceptable?
I can kind of justify it since it will get accepted and be added to the database which is good, but like it just sucks that the original answerer didn't get credit.

(Edit: Actually I am unsure; does confirming the answer that doesn't end up being selected count against your confirm/answer record or does it only count against if you confirm something that ends up overturned because it was incorrect?)

@aglinua I think you hit it.
