Hi everyone. Recently I've been contacted over the relevation that some of the material in FD scale we have uploaded has contained altered credits and versions alltogether compared to those that the original artists had produced. Apparently during our 4th uploading session, when was the last time FD scale was conserned, some people offered to complete the FD selections for me in pre-made folders that I then uploaded. Now its been apparent that some stuff made by certain artist(s) were no the versions posted in the FD scale subforum and its threads, but somewhat differed drawings with names of artist that did not contribute to the work according to the original artists.
Im not accusing anyone (yet) by names of doing so and some of the members involved (specially in regarding completing those folders) are now been actually banned for other reasons.
But since this existed for a one artist, I fear it migth have been repeated for others as well. I cannot keep track on who did what on every drawing, so I have to kindly request that if those artists whose FD scale work has been uploaded (especially in the 4th session if your memory serves that far, it was late 2011) could go trough their work and see if everything is allrigth there. (and if you have the energy for do so in SB as well, I wont object)

Due the course of this summer me and Eswube are trying to get the current FD collection finaly uploaded, but I would like that the basis we will build atop would be proper and fixed. Other mistakes such as wrong folders and so on can also be reported here.

Also it serves no need to mention that if more of these incidents will be revealed and it starts to look like systematic "credit-whoring" from someones end, the culprints will get keelhauled.

On a note I'd like to mention that in the course of compiling the 2013 FD upload (and collecting the archive since then) I've moved some files to other templates (for example when original work was using improper template, though there were other reasons too, like streamlining the number of files), so there is some potential for error there (and indeed it happened once), but there could be more errors (or other not-correct-things) - either done by me or by someone else, so it would be good if the FD Artists checked if everything's correct (especially in the context of the earlier FD upload in 2011 mentioned by Gollevainen - with which I had nothing to do at all ;P ).
(If by chance any of You would find me instead of you in the credits - which hopefully won't happen - then I can only offer my most sincere apologies and assurances that it wasn't done with any malice but was only an effect of my own absent-mindness in the course of archivization - either during moving the work to proper template or the "streamlining").

I'm pretty sure you mean without any malice ;)

@Thiel
My grasp of English is obviously lacking, but I'm inclined to think that:
"I can only offer my (...) assurances that it was not done with any malice" = not meant anything wrong.
"(...) not done without any malice" = not lacking malice = wanted to do wrong.
:?

But that's a digression, and anyway I'm not the negative character of Gollevainen's original post which is about potentially quite sad situation, that hopefully will be solved painlessly.
