Even if we had AI to identify licensing issues, we wouldn't report people to the authorities. Taking down infringing content and informing users is sufficient. We've never banned anyone for uploading copyrighted stuff anyway. Some people have been banned, sure, but that was for repeatedly shirking the rules after many warnings.
The rules on OGA are stricter than the EU Copyright Directive. Any artwork that would be disallowed by the Directive would already not be allowed here on OGA for similar copyright reasons. The legislation requires that platforms proactively work with rightsholders to stop users uploading copyrighted content. As OP well knows, we were already doing this. The Directive will effectively change nothing with regard to the images posted here.
TL;DR: we were rejecting unlicensed content before it was cool. :)
Yes, but you shouldn't notice anything different beyond improved response time hopefully. A lot of the updates and features we plan to do require newer server features, so Botanic and a few others are working on getting the whole site moved to a new server.
I've seen this feature on other forums. After the server move and subsequent drupal upgrade, I'm sure we'll be able to find a plugin that can do this. :)
AntumDeluge is correct. k-skills, would you be willing to change the license(s) to OGA-BY and/or CC-BY? Until then I have to mark this as having a licensing issue.
Thanks for letting us know. this particular error is mostly harmless. It just freaked out about some of the images in the comments after you commented. We'll look into it, but your comment is fine. :)

Fascinating! I was just thinking of making a GIMP plugin with similar goals after being inspired by IKSLM's iso generator: https://opengameart.org/content/desert-isometric-tiles
