posting someone elses skin
Thursday, September 20, 2007 by Hog56 | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
I see it's still going on, people posting other skinners work as there own. Will it ever stop?

If there is an issue the moderators should be informed because we cannot know all the skins out there. The community is part of the process of identifying issues. The mods need your help.
The best path is to privatly alert the original author. They can conttact the ripper and try to resolve it. If that doesn't work the author should contact a mod through PM or email with data to back up ownership. The mods can handle it at that point.

I should amend my post.

I have looked at tha skin in question and the bootskin clearly identifies the author as Hog56.
This will be addressed.

Sometimes we see the same skin twice and inadvertently overlook/miss the change of uploader name, assuming the second was/is just an amendment/variation of the first.
I didn't even notice the name in the ini file....
Jafo blames senility....
