That was a bit naughty of me and it appears the very polite post that I wrote on there forum got removed.........as I expected it to, but I hoped it just might bring someone out to deal with this delightful character

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.

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

I think it might be a good idea that everyone put their name on the screenshot that they upload, it would cut down on the ripping a bit...at least they wouldnt be able to USE the screenshot when they rip it. It's sad that this happens, and we shouldnt HAVE to do that, but there's always going to be jerks out there that do this crap.

You'd need to put your name over most of the screenshot in order to make it not worth someones time to just photoshop it out...plus, if someone has the skin, they can just make their own screenshot, no problem there. You will never completely stop folks from doing this sort of thing, but the good members of the community can always do their part by reporting violations and standing together against evil and tyranny (ok, that was a bit much wasn't it
)
He's being hammered by folks now, and it's only a matter of time before the good folks at DA delete his digital DA existence.

Well! The little twerp hasn't complied with requests to take down the rips...and when DA is taking it goddam sweet time, tempers are naturally gonna flare over an issue so passionate.
Now I'll go take those meds I was supposed to have taken earlier....seriously!

Halloween? Not like that's a major holiday here, ya know? Just a day to give out candy, put on costumes, and make killer skins (thanks all you REAL skinners who put your time and effort in for those, btw). And it's no excuse. What's wrong is wrong.

...and somewhere around Halloween time in the US...so things are likely to be slow-ish....

While I personally agree that this guy is a low-life and should be removed/banned from DA permanently and as quickly as possible, I feel that the potty language of some of the comments (notably not from the ripped artists themselves) does reflect badly on our community here at WC as well. 
Yes, it can be frustrating to wait for the reaction of the DA-mods. Why not take a step back, breathe deeply, count until ten and then formulate the legitimate complaint in such a way that the message is still clear but the used language does not show the comment-poster in a bad light as well?

All this year I have done battle with rippers and sites that allow rips to be uploaded. What intrigues me is even when a site states in its policy that other peoples work cannot be uploaded without permission the admins still allow it through. Even when the original artists name is on the image still and even when, like Boxxi, the artist is well known. This problem will continue as long as sites like the one I have described cannot even stick to their own policy. It will continue as long as people sit back in general and expect others to do the hard yards. I even saw one guy state he would stop uploading other peoples work when others did. So...we stand in court and say....Jeffrey Dahmer murdered people so I did too!.....That is the logic of some of these bright sparks. Collectively we can be a force to be reckoned with. Collectively we can confront those who steal our work and others work. As the saying goes.....if we ALL pull together as a team!

I disagree. The point being that we wouldn't have to resort to these tactics on this site because it would have been dealt with quickly and efficently, and everyone would be happy. I make no apologies for the things I said, (the hardest word I used was "shit") we are real people with real feelings and, as in real life, when someone steals from us or offends us we can react in quite a different way to what is perceived as our normal persona. I'm quite a friendly, helpful, gentle person 99% of the time, but cross me and I'll get all medieval on your ass!
I was a moderator on this site for a long time, so I know what goes on behind the scenes, and that knowledge leads me to believe that DeviantArt are failing their artists and community in situations like this.
(Oh, and this is the SECOND time in a week that I was ripped at DeviantArt)

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.

Not quite, he is still there complete with rips.
Yesterday I sent a polite e-mail to the site staff asking why these items had not yet been removed despite a number of policy violation reports being submitted. I have not yet received an answer, maybe there is no-one there?
It would be a good idea to only leave polite comments, being abusive serves no purpose. The community is strong enough to prevail without letting ourselves down.
