As is the name a clue! Caca is shit in some cultures...shithead in others.

So from the name and email we can deduce this arsewipe is a thieving shithead, and thus is without a conscience.

Don't they HAVE admins and moderators on DeviantArt??? That rip has been up there for three and a half days now! It wouldn't have lasted an hour on Wincustomize......

Pretty disgraceful really.

I always thought the exact opposite.

The windowblinds gallery is rediculous. 100's of rips of Vista. tis a shame. I really hope WC doesn't let that crap get out of hand here. There are already enough "tweaks" of that skin.

NT. The WB gallery is poor but some of the others are pretty good especially the Fetish Photograph section

Hahahahahaha! Way to go Boxxi! Too many people think they can take someone elses work and do what they want with it. Make bootskins from someone elses work etc. If it is not yours then do not use it without permission. It is not a difficult thing for people to grasp. I guess what irks me most is the egotistical attitude that says they do not even have to ask the owner. If the shoe were on the other foot they would bleat the house down and generally when they get sprung and cop the consequences they howl self righteous indignation! You have worked hard Boxxi and you inspired me way back in 2001....keep up the good work!

Spamming the comment section etc....only gets you reported for 'policy violation' too.

Bit silly, really....but that's how it is on DA...

It's often tempting to get all feral/ballistic on someone seen as a bit of a twit/idiot/slime ...but stooping to 'their' level only reflects poorly on the 'stooper'.

If people then signpost themselves as being/having come from a particular website it can also reflect poorly on that site.

One thing that Wincustomize.com has in common with Deviantart.com is a similar order of magnitude of members, etc....which can make their management a little unweildy at times.

Best thing is to post  'complaint'....wait a while...see if it's resolved....then maybe post a reminder.

Anything more is probably going a little OTT ...

At this point Jafo, I can honestly say I don't give a shit if they spank me for spamming his comment section. I wouldn't lose a moment of sleep if DA bans me. I'd rather not be part of a community that so openly support ripping, despite their so called policies.

I wouldn't confuse slow response times with 'openly support ripping'.  It's the weekend...and somewhere around Halloween time in the US...so things are likely to be slow-ish....

They have known about this for over 24 hours now and I would have expected a better reaction. I have put a message on the forum over at DA to see if a Mod is working and can deal with it.

And the rest...the missus lodged a complaint at least 4 days ago, and I think BoXXi reported the rips before that, even.

This is the third ripper mrs starkers has reported over at DA in the last month or so, with the previous two taking over a week to remove, so how long does it take?

Errr, let me rephrase that! In cases of blatant art theft, it shouldn't take this long.

Spamming the comment section etc...

Bit silly, really


Perhaps so, and it's doubtful that it would have occurred if due and appropriate attention had been given to the matter in the first instance....

and no, I don't swallow: "It's the weekend...and" etc! This was reported WELL in advance of that, the rips are blatantly obvious and should have been taken down prior to this....as of 5 mins ago they were still up.

And yes, I spammed the comment section AGAIN....if only to have him report that he's being harassed, thus bringing the attention of DA management to something which to date seems to have been ignored....and on more than one occasion.

At this point Jafo, I can honestly say I don't give a shit if they spank me for spamming his comment section.


I feel much the same way...and if spamming his comment area is the only way to get mod action, then so be it.
