That sounds like a mod problem, and plagiarism is not an acceptable recourse.
Regardless of mod behavior, this post is about supporting artists and not treating their signatures (for lack of a better term) as ads to be removed.

    I was being facetious
    But I had a picture from election truth alliance removed because it had their website on the bottom...
    They're a non-profit, not spam.
    I don't remove attribution from stuff I share, unless it's really big and has the twitter/Instagram/etc logos all over it... Sometimes it really is an ad.
    This is the picture that was removed, btw:.

    Ahh, that makes more sense. I must admit, sometimes I do eat the onion.
    Yeah, I agree that looks more like data than spam, and social media sites aren't artists.
