?? OMG - Am I A Troll ??

[Shelley_c]

I think the protection of other peoples work should be paramount and acted upon not just to protect the authors work but to protect the people that run this site who allow people to submit works which are/have been beneficial to the community. The last thing contributers want (and I think you are a contributer) is to have hacks, images sets or styles etc to be moderated before they are accepted into the database because there just may be a chance that someone has submitted a piece of code, graphic set or style that's copyrighted and the author of that works takes action and sues either yourself or this site because they haven't given permission for distribution.

The precautions imo do more good than harm and I've always believed in the philosophy... if you haven't designed/coded it, then it should not be submitted unless the author has given you permission to distribute it.

I'm very happy with how one member of staff handled my report has it protected my works when a member from here distributed it.

I don't believe that your a troll, maybe just a little angry atm (which we have all felt) though if i was to check the database there is at least 20 other sets that I could report from other members which are very suspicious.

Then report them and a staff member will look into it.

God alone knows I need an avatar Maybe I'll work one out after getting a mini keg this evening on the way home from the pickle factory. :erm:

well - someone introduced the phrase "Drama Queen" into the conversation - Not I, but possibly someone who is very familiar with them LOL

At anyrate - The Heineken was absolutely delicioso! I would recommend drinking it after you've firmly left the Pickle Factory and are safely at home, resting beautifully on your sofa tehehhehehe

So TRUE SHELLEY - I was a little upset when they told me my share wasn't allowed - And yes - I've gone through the database and after seeing the bulk of stuff shared in the styles section - I thought "Wow! Am I being singled out here???"

Anyway - I've taken the liberty of getting over that issue - I have (for the moment) decided to never share anything else here at vB.org

So.... You don't think I'm a Troll eh? LOL - Nice to know

I haven't got the time to report every submission, it's not my job too to be frank, Your vb.org coordinator marco, i would suggest your distribute your staffs time to ensure that works which are suspicious are acted upon. It's the reason more staff were recruited.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Staff will investigate reports made by members. It is not their task to go over all submissions and guess if it is original work or not.

@Jacquii
It is not uncommon that once 1 submission is reported and found to be against our rules (copyright in this case), other submissions by the same author are also quickly checked.

So, if someone were to report this release of a smiley set, you would have to move it to the Graveyard, right? Because it's not the thread creator's original work? I'm not being a smartaleck, I'm just asking.

Like said: each report is investigated by staff. If a thread is removed or not depends on the outcome of the investigation.

[deezelpope]

<i>Okie dokie.</i>

[Shelley_c]

Yes, the submission you just linked to deezelpope should be removed.

I'll look into every submission in the database after work but your going to find a lot of image sets removed.

This Thread Has Been Hi-Jacked!
Anyway - I think that such an anal retentive policy vB.org has on images readily available all over the internet (AND FOR FREE) is to the detriment of the Community. I thought this was a place to share and share alike.

At anyrate - I was sorta getting used to the idea of being a Troll LOL
