What's up, RMers?

Bit of an RMing rant here.
People who make assets need to put their names on things, whether it be the rar file, in a txt file inside of the rar, or even in the image's metadata. Do something.
They also need to include a credits / permissions file so people know what they can and can't use it for. I have so many rar files of stuff with no credits file, no names, not even in the image metadata. It's just... face images and stuff. A battler that might be copyrighted, but I have no idea. Parts for the MV generator. Stuff like that. Almost nobody put their names on or in things, and I have to look back at a credits file that might not even have the resource documented, so then I have to search for the resource.
Please please PLEASE, add some Credits files!
Put your name on the Rar file! Do SOMETHING so I don't have to go through over 500 sites I've been where I could've gotten it and search through forums upon forums to find an obscure file I downloaded that may be a coyprighted character that I can't use anyway.
Gimme a break, sheesh. I guess I have to start writing down every website I've gotten a resource from in the Credits folder of my own so I know where to look for proper updated commercial/non-commercial usage instructions because artists didn't wanna take 2 minutes to write a proper txt file or copy-paste permissions after spending days making the images.
AND THIS EVEN GOES FOR MUSIC! WHY DO SO MANY ARTISTS NAME THEIR FILE "Downloaded_file_2ikoj52o3ij5opjidoijh9iojwio" AND THE LIKE?!
AND THERE'S NO CREDITS IN THE RAR!
AHHHHHH!!!
So like... please? Add credits? Please? Is it really a lot to ask? Is copy-pasting from a pre-made "permissions" txt file with different permissions that hard to do when you've put so much work into your art already? Or am I out of line for thinking this?
