Unsourced Artwork

At least a good 25% of the "Skin and Champion Concepts" board features artwork that is not of OP's design, but rather something they found online. Use of another's work without properly crediting the source is a serious issue that involves not only copyright, but also basic decency. In my opinion, the rules should be updated to state that, when posting another's work, one must at least provide proper source information, but I'm open to discussion as to why this is/isn't a good idea.

The should add a place to put the original source when you upload a file.

I approve of the mindset, though I don't know if it's feasible. What is considered proper source information? What if the art is being used to help elaborate upon a point rather than someone taking credit for something that isn't there?
