@SleepingSilence May wanna have a look at this.

As for the art piece in question, there is not much to go off since you only supplied a user page and not a direct thread URL. On top of this there there was no claim in ownership or an effort to resell the piece, which if it was done so is a violation of copyright.

Without additional information there is not much else I can do.

@operaame That link literally doesn't go anywhere. Would you have liked to directly contact me first? Since that would have been the polite and fast way to get a response. I don't bite. ^-^'

What picture? PM me please, or just post the link of the RP where it's contained and that will be enough information.

So, had some info come my way about this.

@SleepingSilence First off, the person is new to the site and was most likely not interested in sending a PM or didn't know how. It's a bit of a harsh response to say that the "polite" way is to PM you, especially when they are not a part of our community.

Next up, I have the links in question.
The RP
The Image

In future Sleeping when something like this comes your way, it is your responsibility to check your own posts to see which may be the ones at fault. Not only that but you did edit the image and crop out the name for the artwork. That alone is an act of plagiarism. My initial thoughts were that it was just a simple repost but upon seeing that I can say I was mistaken and that you were the one at fault in this situation.

You will be given a total of 24 hours to remove the images from those post or I will be forced to hide every IC, OOC, and Char post that contains that image.

@NuttsnBolts I don't think it's harsh. I think it's accurate. But I'll accept that it wasn't something that the user knew how to do, nor did I intend to be harsh.

But in that regard, you're asking the impossible. I was given absolutely no information regarding this, and literally everyone on this entire site uses images on the internet. I have dozens of roleplays that have pictures that aren't mine. Saying it's somehow my responsibility to guess which someone is talking about and remove on a whim, isn't constructive. And let's be clear here, I was not the one that edited that piece. I found the art on a sharing site. Nor, do I think the person/user would have actually cared either way and still wanted the same result.

But I'm going to remove the picture, now that I know which it is.
