In this case it wouldn't have helped, they also requested that character as a solo character tag.

Same. It's not an awful concept on paper, but you need the right execution to pull it off, and this isn't it.

That's fair enough. I'm of two minds regarding the de-anoning thing because of [boring rant about how FFA and coal approach anonymity I can't be bothered to retread right now], but I agree they probably should have been more careful.
So the artist didn't leap on it at once - they claimed it after giving other exchange participants every possible opportunity to step up as well.
I don't see how this is mutually exclusive with biting off more than they could chew. They could have claimed half of it, or less. Made the job easier for other PHers. Or, hell, the collection could have been delayed further. It wouldn't be ideal, but that's the way it's supposed to work, right? PHs linger until the person who can fill them comes along. Not until one of the artists passing by decides to just make kittyart.
And I'm even condemning kittyart as a whole. I've received some I quite enjoyed. But it does feel a bit hollow and I hate the idea of getting kittyart in every exchange where I request art and linger long enough as a PH, you know?

Well, it would have kept them from tagging the relationship, at least.
first post in this discussion: I would love kittyart in any exchange as long as it was done by one of the resident exchange pro-level artists. Totally uninterested in colored pencil/crayon amateur art whether it's by a fellow fan or not.
can't wait for reveals and all those tasty, tasty butts
No it wouldn't have stopped that either. The work was tagged with both the character and relationship tags, and contained images that showed both characters.
I get it, it's not the greatest execution but I'd be shocked if you could go to a mod and say "I requested this character both on their own and in a ship. The artist tagged the work with the solo and ship tag, but the images for the solo tag only have the implication of my requested ship tag." and have them do anything but send screenshots of the email to their co-mod like "WTF".

If you're going to hold out for your one true fandom until the very end of the exchange you are gambling at getting a worse gift because you're stuck with whoever can pick up your fandoms in a rush. That's the trade-off.
If you aren't okay with that trade-off, don't gamble by letting your pinch hit linger as a non-required pinch hit until the last couple of weeks.

Yeah.
And the thing is, the recipient probably thought they would be fine with it until it happened, same as the artist though they could totally pull off the amount of art they'd committed to but, well, not really. Hopefully both make different choices next time. And I still think the artist did a nice thing. It just was an overcommitment.

yiiiiiikes OP here, did the mods do anything about the recip abusing the Any rule? Either way, I'm sorry and yeah I get what you mean...
Crap. What do you do when you reread a gift fic you thought you said thank you for and discover that your comment didn't post?
you leave them a lovely comment now with a heartfelt "sorry I"m late!"

The de-anoning wank is bollocks anyway - de-anoning has never meant anything other than "this is X, who made Y for Z". It's not "here's some stuff an overinvested third party could pin up on their conspiracy string board".
That's not a source for a quarter of nonnies, it's a source for a quarter of replies to that thread. It's a self-selecting sample, not a representative random sample, so you can't make generalisations from it.

I missed the image(s) that showed both characters and can't be bothered to go look at it again right now. Fair enough.

I mean, that's what I thought, but I can also see the argument that people who post in an anonspace should know what they're signing up for/what that space is like.
I think nonnies are often shooting themselves in the foot when they get all overly-invested and sluethy like that. A lot of venting is kinda meaningless without some salient details, and those salient details are often quite identifiable. When nonnies hold other nonnies to the highest standards of discretion possible, they're directly sabotaging what the space is for.
