hypnohub's policy towards tracing?
yesterday, PrincessSkyler came to me via skype, clearly upset about discovering something from hypnohub that appeared to be traced over a piece she had commissioned from a friend, although it had other colours + background and a slightly different hairstyle (to make it look like their OC). since it was her persona in the original picture, which is on the "do not post" list i presume (at least the artist tag is, but so far any picture about her persona has been removed shortly afterwards), so she thought it is still partially about her.
other names shall be left unmentioned, as i'd rather not stir further drama about this incident. unless something goes really badly wrong anyway, that is
so, i thought it would be worth asking, is there any policy regarding traced art uploads? are there any special tags, should the original reference image be used as the source etc...? since manips are a thing here, i have my doubts
i could not find anything from the post guidelines regarding any special tags or such, and from forums, i mostly just found people recommending tracing as a form of practicing. "it stops being your art" was said but i don't think i found anyone saying if it's against the rules or such
