Saw a possible rip, what should I do??
Tuesday, March 2, 2004 by Minion_Bob73 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I saw some walls on deviantart that I don't think was done by person claiming to have made them. I think it is someone's wall from here, what can I do to make sure? I don't wanna accuse someone of claiming work as their own if they are the same person on both sites. I know this may be a stupid thing to ask but some don't take kindly to being told their ripping of walls and such when in fact they aren't. Don't wanna put my foot in my mouth, never a good a thing to do. Can anyone give a suggestion on how to handle it. Thanks everyone.

1. check if it are the same walls. ("i think" doesn´t mean anything).
2. check the uploaders´ profiles. it might be different nicks, but some people also put their real name in their profile. you can also compare e-mail addresses.
3. check when the files were uploaded.

Ok, being idiot me I can't seem to find where to email admins at so I will give the links for the walls here...
http://thuganomics.deviantart.com/gallery/
The first 3 walls in this persons gallery look to me as the same ones from the iGlass suite. Which are here.
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&SkinID=14360
I looked at the profiles and upload dates from both and neither seem to match.
If I am wrong I truly apologize to who made them for stating they are possible rips. But I know alot of work is put into making this stuff and taking credit for someone else's work is a bad thing. I hope someone can help in taking care of this or help me in how to report it. Thanks.

yep. those are rips (the ones at dA). do you have an account there? if so, you can simply use the "Report deviation for policy violation" button. it´s the most right button under the image preview.

In the menus on the left there is an "About" button. You will find all the Admin email adresses in there.

moshi...thanks for mentioning the button to report it. Didn't see that, as I said never had to report one before.
Çërêb®øJÐ...thanks for the telling me where the admins email were. I think the about was the only place I didn't look.

Hmm...I've found a rip as well.

I e-mailed Jafo earlier today, but I saw the image was still there.
Maybe there should be a direct link, or an account created, for rips? Make it a little easier for folks to report them? Just a suggestion...
