The Mission:

Fri Dec 8, 2006, 6:24 AM
:bulletgreen: Stop art thieves and their ne'er-do-well habits.
:bulletgreen: Inform said vandals that their actions will not go unnoticed nor unpunished.
:bulletgreen: Take appropriate action by reporting such policy violations to DA mods.

Point me in the direction of any stolen, ripped, un-credited, etc. deviations and action will be taken accordingly.

If I come across anything that I know or suspect to be other than a user's own work, I will track down the original art and report the offending submission to moderators. I won't report unless I have solid evidence of art-thievery.

I'm not trying to cause a ruckus. I don't spam deviants (even if they are stealing art). It's not my goal to get anyone banned - I encourage offenders to submit original work. I follow the rules and report people who break those same rules. If the moderators agree with me, then the deviations are promptly removed.

Thank you so much for the +fav! I hope it helps you in your mission. ;) Please share it with others!

Just make sure you don't publically accuse anyone of art theft or publically "out" them as this is against DA's rules and can get you banned and I don't wanna see that happen!

You might also find this: [link] and this :thumb33489766: helpful.


And if you have an LJ you may enjoy this online community: [link] it exposes art theft and the members are then able to reort the offender. :)

You're more than welcome - it's a very informative, well researched, and well made deviation.

And thank you for the additional information! I didn't know that accusation was against DA policy (wow, color me a hypocrite!), so I will be sure not to do so.

Keep up the great work!

Oh, and you may want to talk to she does a really good job of reproting art thieves and spreading awareness about them. :)

Thank you! The peice took 3 months to complete, so I'm very happy it's appreciated.

Glad I could warn you before you got into trouble with the mods! :D Yeah they consider public accusations as "flaming" and have banned people for it beofre. I have one or two friends who got banned for publically accusing someone of art theft and/or writing about it in their journal. You can still talk about it in private notes though.

Oh, you may also find this site interesting: [link]
It's about the most notorious art/identity theif on the interenet. She's stolen art and identitites from hundreds of people.

Yes.

If I come across anything that I know or suspect to be other than a user's own work, I try to track down the original art and report the offending submission to moderators. I won't report unless I have solid evidence of art-thievery.
