why should ya install this when you have google :)

Looks a damn good mod in my opinion and the "in house" Q&A is a more friendly "relative" way to integrate members within the site.

Kudos to Chris

Don't make excuses... be honest and simply own up to what you did and continue to do with other authors' work ... ;)

It's pretty obvious from looking at your site, that you plagiarize everyone's work for free, including even removing vBulletin's copyright. :rolleyes:

I stand to be corrected, but I believe that violates your license agreement with vBulletin, so maybe someone should pass that information onto them? :D

Although, given your location, no copyright protection would ever be enforced anyway, so I'm not sure it's worth the effort except for the public embarrassment factor, which doesn't seem to bother you anyway. :p

It really completely disturbs my peace when I see people with so little respect for others work! David R....what you do on your site is really a disgrace. But OK, fortunately good always prevails over bad. So, in future, when things don't go to well, you might think of this thread.

Personal disputes removed from this thread. Please keep it on topic and if you have a personal issue with someone PM them with your concerns. Personal insults do not belong on vBulletin.org no matter the reason.

Personal disputes? It's not. It's a legal dispute. As I know, the copyright laws are same worldwide. He did something out of law, and he admit that he did it!! How I can keep myself calm? Have you count how many times I gave support to this member? Do you like to check how he was bombing me with continues post in forums and PMs? And after all, he shows his appreciation by removing my copyright link. In a site full of banners my 2 small phrases were making his site appearing ugly??

And what about my report? Does this member continue "walking" on this site? I need to know the moderator's decision for my report. I think that I've the right to know it.

Thank you
Chris

The personal insults were too much. Legal or personal, it does not matter, that is not what this site is about.

You said you reported it to your local police then follow up with them. Personally I hope you can find sort of resolution that you would be happy with, but in any case we do not allow the attacking of another member whether you feel it is justified or not- sorry.

I have no access to PMs nor did I count anything because whether you helped him once or 100 times does not make the act of removing a copyright notice any better or worse.

IF the violation was still occurring I would suggest you contact his web host and file a DMCA complaint, but it is my understanding he has removed the mod so there is nothing I can think of left to do.

Also vBulletin license details are not public but we do offer a branding-free license so sites without vBulletin branding MAY be completely legit.

Yes I did reported him to the police station, but this is something totally different, and it takes time. When I was reported him here I was expecting that should be an action from your side. He admit that he removed my copyright, something that is phohibited as I'm saying in my main post. He didn't said "No, You're wrong". He said "Yes I removed it". In this case you look like that you don't care for my rights. So, if the community doese cares for me, I'll not care for the community too.

Thank you

Christos,

I don't know what action would make you happy but he removed the mod. Even if someone was found to be using vBulletin without their branding they don't immediately revoke their license and report them to the police- they simply send an email reminding them of their license agreement and if they agree to restore the copyright or remove vBulletin then the case is considered resolved.

Best I can tell you called him out and he removed the mod. Even if he didn't vBulletin.org does NOT take sides in disputes. That would lead us down a very dangerous path. We are all volunteers here and we have neither the time nor desire to act as judge and jury between member disputes.

Simple one. Ban him even for 1 day, just to make clear to him that by getting something for free, does not means that he is free to do anything he likes (eg removing the copyright).

If you can see my issue (even for a moment) as developer that you're and not as moderator, then you can understand how I'm feeling now.

Thank you and lets end it here.

Chris
