I've already stated the rules of using my avatars in my Userpage. Please read them if you wish to use an avatar.
There will be consequences if you fail to follow my avatar rules.

The person (not naming, because that would be flaming) took this avatar:

Well, they were not yours in the first place. Why should the person
give you credit for the avatar if you did not make them? The person
has every right to use that avatar, because he/she may have
looked for them on their own. It could be just a coincidence since
you both have a great taste in video games.

I concur that I did not make them, but I surely had a hard time finding them. I even gave credit to the artists. Yet the people who took the avatars did not thank neither the artists nor me.

And to be honest, I doubt the person who stole it found it themselves.

I understand you are fustrated that you spent a lot of time
finding the avatar. But there is a small possiblility that
the person did find it themselves, though. It is jumping to
conclusions, saying they stole them from you. Maybe they
did, maybe they did not. Who knows?

The real answer, of course, is


If I were you, I would just take down the whole avatar
section on your page. That way you do not have to worry
about anything like this ever again, savvy?

[JohnnyGunflint]

Crimson, let's face the facts. The person who stole it doesn't seem like the type to be internet savvy. Look, I know by now you think I am being pompous.
Maybe I am being pompus. Or maybe I just tell it the way it is.

P.S. Nice avvie. I would never take it without crediting you or asking you. It's just plain courtesy.

Sure. Please tell me which one you choose, and please give me credit. Like in your Signature, or somewhere.

Yup. The most pain is that the person plays the "what?" act.

If you use these without giving credit, I have a half a mind to pubically state you "stole" these avatars.

Free feel to use these, but ONLY if you give me credit for finding them" That's not really fair if each artist didn't give consent. I know a LOT of graphic artists who do not want their art out for free use, unless otherwise specified.

__________________________________________________ ___________________
Where many of those Avatars came from it clearly states that "direct linking, stealing, archiving and posting elsewhere is strictly forbidden. Pay the artists a visit from time to time, and when used give credit to the artist (they underlined that, not me) of the icons and ***** ********." I will keep the Design co. name out. The graphic artists names are submitted with their work, and they have galleries for a reason. To be recognized.



No one should have to give you credit, no offense, simply because you've "found them." You did not spend the time making them, which by the way can take hourssss and longer. We're all searching for images at some point or another, whatever the purpose may be, which means we all spend time doing so.

There is no mention of the artists name near the avatar you are using.
When other artists take their time to create you custom graphics, do you credit them?

In RE: to CrimsonDOOM: Removing images from one section, may help
(the artists in particular), or may not. I have found my work stolen (work that I rendered, from stratch), so I understand it sucks to have work which you have spent hours if not days on, taken. However, there is the internet, and it allows for right clicking. I don't only work with graphics, I'm more of a hands on artist, and I've had my work stolen/copied in the real, too... it happens to be a cruddy fact of life.


I'm in no way at all meaning to be rude... I'm just writing here (from a different viewpoint, trying to make a point, and sense, at 4am)... I hope you, and others who have posted here can appreciate where I am coming from.

[JohnnyGunflint]

I actually have credited the artitsts, however it would be impossible and not right for me to name names due to me either not knowing their names, or only knowing their real names.

[Captain]

I completely understand how you feel. I would hate it SO MUCH if somebody copied my avatar....

<3 meh avatar <3

[Schmoofy]

From the way I look at it, once anything is uploaded onto the internet, it's free game. (Especially pictures) Sorry if you feel that someone "stole" the pictures from your page, but didn't you "steal" them from someone else's site?
