Abuse of power, can it really be stopped?
A screenshot is a screenshot. Nothing is more innocent than that. I have made a windowblinds skin based on Nvidia Reactor Windows Media Player by TSF. The skin turned out as if the great Pixtudio group made it. People loved the screenshot and have shown love toward it. I have updated many skins that are available to the publics, yet I never shared them because I know the authors still have full right over them. I'm good at respecting people's work. The Skins Factory hated the fact that the skin has a premium feels and started to threat me. Now the screenshot is disappeared. What TSF wants, TSF gets. How can a screenshot become so controversial?
Mike Bryant was one of the main reasons I have subscribed to WC ‘cause I’ve learn so much through his works, but...

I also agree. ...and I'm not picking on you. Elsius Saint was better.

| By calling yourself WC Ambassador, you give the impression that you speak for us all. You don't speak for me, and a quick glance through the comments will show you that many here do not agree with your position. Since you were not selected as an ambassador by WC or by the community, a different nick might be more appropriate. Just something to consider |

As a matter of quaint interest...the screenshot is NOT deleted....makes much of this moot.
And at that it ends...

Thanx for clearing that up for me. I found the page, saw the screenshot and read all the comments and now I have a clear view of the problem and can now voice my opinion properly.
WCA, your biggest mistake was comment # 12. Every post after that automatically shows that everyone got the idea that you would share it. Like me, many probably don't even know or understand this whole thing about asking permission. Stupid if you ask be but rules are rules. Even after posting that you sent an email you failed to point out that you would only share if approved before saying you would share it. TSF had the right to ask not to share it and it would have all ended if you would have just agreed. Instead you chose to take a piece of the comment that sounded like a threat and lowered yourself to that standard and began a back and forth fight for nothing. That should have been a "what ever" situationa dn left it at that. Instead you chose to make a big deal out of a dumb comment cause you pride somehow was put down and you felt the need to take vengance for it by making comments like the ones on #48. In a court of Law, this being a legal lawsuit, you had just signed your own death cirtificate with that comment. Jeff's comment was unnecesary but normal for a person in his position and I don't see why you felt the need to fight back for something as dumb as this that you were not gonna distribute anyways according to your own testimony in the first few post of this article.
In short, waste of time, pointless, no need to fight back, no need to feel threatened. Letting go would have been much easier.
BTW I also agree with the WCA name change. Sorry buddy but even I got the impression that you were part of the administration of this site.
I know this is a bit too late after noticing the last post but I had already written it and felt it would have been a waste not to post it. So sorry for being so late.
