+Respect ASCII Artists Campaign
+
+Most ASCII artists will tag  their ASCII creation with their initials.
+This is not just about signing your art, it shows the original artist.
+
+If someone else colours the art, or  modifies it in any other way, the
+artist initials need to be kept  with it. Anyone modifying art can add
+their initials (usually something like ldb/ you) and a note about what
+they had  done to the original  art. The original artist  initials are
+left on the art, the initials of  the person who modified it are added
+after the original artist.
+
+If you can not  find the original artist, or a link to  them on a site
+or social media, include a link to  the source where you found the art
+as  something  being better  than  nothing.  This helps  preserve  and
+archive the art as well as giving the artist credit.
+
+This is what the Respect ASCII Artists Campaign is about. Give respect
+to the original artist and leave their initials on the work.
+
+Not all  ASCII art is available  freely. Don't assume it  is there for
+anyone to take (copy and paste  or screenshot). Ask to repost, modify,
+or otherwise use the ASCII art you  find online. Don't sell art you do
+not own or did not fully create yourself.
+
+The ribbon above is from  the original Respect ASCII Artists Campaign.
+Started April 1998, by truffle.
