  • Link to member

    Check his signature; he has one of my banners in there. He even created a thread with my sigs (and a bunch from other people, some of which I actually know), but that was closed.

    Could someone edit his sig please? Not even wanting the credit, since he claims it's his salamence banner.

    EDIT: link to my signature thread, in case you need proof

  • Well, nothing can stop art theft..
    Maybe just put your name in all your Banners so that they can't steal it
    but then, If you wann report it then just PM a Staff..
    That's my Suggestion anyway

  • I've disabled his signature and took out the banner. Sorry to know one of your banners have been victim to more theft. :\ But like Ryouki said, we can't exactly stop it happening.

    Yeah I know, thanks Signomi. ^_^
    And that's a very good suggestion, Ryouki, I've seen many do that. Still, people cut out the part with the name xd or paste new text in front of it.

    *sigh* Damn thieves.

    Though even if TEHY Do that, Some of it won't really put in like they put there Name in front of lets say [Dootakun] they can't really cover the whole word with just the 'Name'
    Maybe Um, try to put 2 names: One Visible and the second one Visible but not so much like camouflage xD

  • Nah, in that case, we'd give him a warning for a third signature offence. And three warnings for whatever reason = temp ban. Too minor (though I understand, offensive) for a temporary ban.

    So, he has two warnings, he needs a third eh? I'm gonna "let" him use one of my sigs, then say he stole it XD jk

    Better keep this topic open, since he might do it again. And I'm actually hoping he does that xd Thanks.

  • Okay, he really got on my nerve now.

    He insists on saying that they are his banners, that I'm lying. I'm gonna quote my PM and his answer:

    Mind telling why you stole my banners, along with others? From what I see, you're a member of PIF, since one of the banners you stole was only posted there.

    Dont play dumb with me Dootakun!!!! first you ask me for a job then you take credit for it then you come to other forums telling other people tht those are your banners????? i thought we were friends man! i dont ever wanna speak to ya again dude!!! dont need to send PMs i wont read them ....

    I want to see his face when I ask him if he has the .PSDs (Photoshop files where the banners are, if you don't know).

  • Okay, I posted once, it didn't appear; I posted it again, the previous post appeared, I deleted the previous, but both got deleted oO So, I'm posting it a third time. Let's hope it sticks.

    +++++++++++++++++

    I'll waive the idea that you're double posting.

    I assume you have the PSDs, then? If he uses the signature again, it's a juicy warning on his head. He can't prove it, and if he ignores the issue he's causing, then he can get into trouble as well.

    Sorry about the double-posting, was too angry to think =/

    Yeah, I have all my PSDs. And I never showed them to anyone, so he can't possibly have them.


    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Yeah, had to delete the previous post so this wouldn't be double-posting.

    Now, I bring more evidences that the guy is a complete moron, who can't lie. However, he said that he was fooled by someone, so I must play all the cards now.

    I only found this rip thanks to TwilightBlade, who assisted me (thanks again) by showing the PMs he and she had been exchanging.

    Here there are! Click the spoiler.

    Spoiler:

    OMG HOW SILLY OF HIM XDDDD

    Now, the IM log from MSN, some parts in portuguese, some in english. I'll translate the parts in portuguese [in bold], and if you think I'm lying, ask Wakachamo, he speaks portuguese.

    João: the stealer
    dsfsfsdf. : me, [Dootakun]

    Spoiler:


    ...Maybe he was telling the truth and that Gofre did fool him. But I don't know.

    EDIT: he forwarded the PM.

    It's funny on the coincidental side because I heard rumors he hacks and he doesn't like following the rules either :\

    Maybe you should like put ©[Insert Name] on your banners, I see many banners having that around :)

  • Wow, thats terrible desu~! =0

    I can sympathize, it happened to me a while ago, but he removed it after one professionally written, grammatically correct e-mail (he disabled PMs ... go figure!)

    So the solutions I can think of are putting your name on your sig, and/or putting a ©-by-yourself notice, and/or a watermark (o_0) with any of the above mentioned contents!

    If he persists, then I think a temp-ban might be necessary because he's clearly disregarding the rules deliberately on multiple occasions

    That's Terrible >.< ~

    I hope you somehow stop people from stealing your stuff. Maybe try Watermarking your banners. Your artwork is amazing and is deserved to be used by you and only you. I would hate people stealing my graphics without permission.

    Wow, this kid needs to be banned. I think you guys should just stop beating around the bush with these warnings, and bring the ban hammer down.

    Anyway, when I was banned for "art theft" at another forum, at least I had legit reasons: I didn't know who made the stuff.
