let me clear this out to you so you understand what the fuck it is you're even talking about.
first thing to clear, that's not rule 1, That was the old rule 1, when rules weren't swapped to be part of the same thing and the same kind of rule was placed into rules explaining that were two things in nature, e.g., old rule one was half about artist copyright and half about rule #0 retaining specifically to copyright, where as, case in point, the "new" rule 1 is:
_Derpibooru is a website dedicated to fanart of MLP:FiM. Without the thousands of artists creating such fan art, we would not have much of a site at all. Therefore, it is important to always respect the wishes of the artists regarding their artwork.
- Do not upload images that have been altered in a way that the artist may not appreciate. This may include (but is not limited to) removing an artist's signature and/or watermark, recoloring an image to insert or remove an OC, and fetish edits.
Do not upload artwork that has not been publicly released, or is intended to remain private or restricted access, without permission from the artist who made it. This includes paid content, such as Patreon-only images or images from an art pack or folio.
- Images that have been released on a pay-what-you-want scheme, as well as images from a "free version" of a paid art pack, must be released for at least one week (seven days) before they may be posted on this site. Then, only content which can be obtained for free may be posted.
Do not upload images from artists who are on our Do-Not-Post (DNP) List, or who have otherwise publicly made a clear and visible statement that they do not wish for their content to be on this website.
- Do not upload images that contain watermarks or advertisements for sites that promote content theft, sharing of paid-only images, or sharing of images without providing reasonable attribution to the artists who made them. Likewise, do not share links to such sites either.
- All edits of an original image not made by the original artist should be tagged as "edit", and preferably should be made with the artist's permission._
TL:DR; Respect artists' copyright.
what you are talking about is something else entirely, as stated, it used to be part of rule #1 for no rhyme or reason, but now it was moved into rule #0, where it belongs, because all personal attacks, harassment and insults belong together and are the same done to any individual.
now, let's read rule #0 again.
_This is the most important rule.
MLP:FiM is about sharing, friendship, and understanding. Don’t drag the site down into flamewars and angst – keep it constructive and positive.
- Attempts to antagonize others will not be tolerated.
- Do not troll, attack, insult, name-call, or otherwise try to intentionally antagonize another person or group of people. This includes making racial, sexual, homophobic, or otherwise demeaning slurs, or posting similarly abusive content.
-+__**Criticism is welcome and encouraged when done so in a constructive and helpful manner. However, using baseless, unconstructive criticism as a veil for the purpose of insulting or attacking an image and/or an artist is not allowed.*+
*__
- This rule applies to all images, comments, forum posts, and private messages, along with all other interactions you may make on this website._
What I find especially appalling here is this idea that negative opinions should be widely accepted, regardless if they're helpful or not, which is basically an insane troll's logic.. The fact of the matter is, any negative connotation without any good reason of being there, shouldn't be accepted, this is why the site already offers other alternatives to things/themes/art you may not like, such as rule #4, because without their images, would there even be a derpibooru out here? so, please learn to be more appreciative of artists for their contribution to the community, this is not an absolute statement, meaning you don't have to love and be all kisses with every artist including the ones you don't like, but the general gist of this is, don't condemn the other 99.9% of artists just because of a few rotten ones, just as we don't condemn the other 99.9% of users in the community for a few nuisances.
last thing to note here, in addition to what you've been suggesting here about treating "some" artists with the respect they're due, if we lived in this reality you're describing, you'd be banned right now forever, as we (staff) would have exceedingly strong biases against all the users and viewers out here, not just the troublemakers, but literally all of them, considering you nothing more than worthless trash. Not saying some of us don't have some biases against some users, like you for example seem to imply you have some biases against some artists, which is also fine in my book, just so long as you don't uselessly enact upon a childish tirade of artist witch hunts, but we do keep that as much to a minimum as much as is humanly possible. We're not saints here after all, we're all only human and we all expect everyone else to be human too and not animals.
