This guy should have been banned, and not just having his stolen work removed.
He was already reported in June/July and had to take down ripped work.
He just had to remove his complete gallery because none of it was his own work!
He also kept hiding the comments (and not all were spam and not all were derogative) and purposefully uploaded more ripped work after he was called out on ripping.
...yet DA only had him remove the gallery!!!!
Seriously, why doesn't DA not just pat him on the head and give him a candy bar for his distress suffered?
He knew what he was doing and he keeps on doing it.
I agree that the spamming didn't help with the DA-crowd, but DA itself leaves an extremely weak impression here. They obviously need to fix their moderator priorities.
Here on WC this guy would have gotten a warning back in June and he would have been banned sometimes mid last week after the first rip-report and no mobbing would have happened.

He missed a spot. In the upper right of the screenshot, in one of the windows it says "Created by Nightrain"

He even had the nerve to crappily white-out NT's name on the start menu and put on his own.

Yes, on reflection, I guess 'the pack' approach did us no good in terms of reputation and standing and I tried to be polite but assertive in our cause with my threads on their forum but on relection it would have been better to have left it to someone with expertise, experience and contacts, like Jafo.
I know its 'water under the bridge' now but one thing I would like to clarify is a comment made by Zoomba......."WinCustomize has a bad rep in the skinning world, and it's something we've been doing well to clean up, but it's cases like this that wipe out a lot of that effort".........Bad reputation with who, Zoomba?

....and to rub our noses in it even more. Thing is, he now knows that he can get away with it for extended periods of time, (DA has sent him the all the wrong messages) and he therefore will continue to rip others works unless banned completely.
The longer this debacle is allowed to continue, the more I am inclined to agree with our friend, MountainHawk, the DA mods/staff are a very 'clicky' bunch and couldn't organise a grog-up in a brewery.

Clearly he desires a further 15 minutes...

How difficult would it be for the objectdesktop software or it's individual components to have the ability to put the creators name across the middle of any skin be it wb or widget etc,(example: webshots software puts "WEBSHOTS" in bottom right corner of all wallpapers & it's sorta transparent but can be plainly seen), if you purchase the objectdesktop etc software then the makers name can be removed etc ok so it really will only be useful for cracked software i spose

It's probably not hard at all if that's what they wanted to do. However, any skin artist knows how to put a watermark symbol or text across their screenshots, it's just that they do not want to have to, and we shouldn't be forced to have to.
In addition, i know a bunch of "consumers" who do not want blatant watermarks or copyright notices on wallpapers or skins. I, personally can see the sense in this and as such try to make any copyright symbol blend into the theme, yet still make it recognizable enough to know it's mine, so anyone who knows my mark will know it as such.

Thanks for the reports all. 
Watermarks aren't necessary. Public humiliation and stonings should be brought up to the times though.

I see this MRKacau continues to test our patience... 
I have three assumptions:
1. He is crazy that needs the immediate medical assistance.
2. He is full asshole that should be brought before a judge.
3. He was expelled from Wincustomize for some reason and trying to take revenge now.
In any of these cases he must be isolated from the society!
Can anyone help me to find his IP?

Ignore him. Otherwise he gets what he wants. My skin can stay there for all I care now.
I'm getting my new system with Vista Ultimate today. I got no time for childish games.
The battle between me and Vista BEGINS!

Congratulations!
I already fights with Visa more than three weeks but it wins over and over...
Agree. This is really interesting than fighting with this mad guy. Ok. Let's ignore him.
Good luck with Vista!

It's not that much of a battle, if at all...I've been running Vista Ultimate since late January and couldn't be happier with its performance & stability. Hopefully your experience is as trouble free and as pleasant as mine.

carlajean ....nice to see something positive come from the silliness of this person over at Devart....
Don't form a negative opinion of Deviantart though....not from the actions of the odd twit...every site is blessed with their own.....
On Wincustomize it's me....
