As I stated, drama may be forthcoming. Here is the prelude to it. I wrote this journal entry because I noticed that some pictures were stolen from someone here on this site.
Here is the screenshot of the journal entry I made.
Had to take a screenie just in case they decide to delete another one of my journal entries.
Here is the messages back and forth regarding a journal entry I wrote on this matter.
And this time I actually rearranged the message for easy reading lol

Sometimes work is stolen from others and put onto sites such as photobucket or imageshack. Sometimes people get it from massive sites such as those and do not know who to credit or that it is copyrighted. I would like to know who on this site has copyrighted work on their profiles and who the work was originally created by. This is not something that should be handled in a journal entry but rather brought to an administrator and asked for assistance. I will do just that. I must know who these people are first. I must also know where the work is posted by the creator so I can investigate. Proof must be obtained and this must be handled properly.
Thank you.

Actually the art I am referring to is your display picture. It is not on any public domain and is only viewable on one other site.
I have already contacted the artist and she isn't happy.

Well that is where you are mistaken. I did get it from photobucket. I have absolutely no problem giving artist credit, I know many artists in fact. If you would be so kind as to give me her information, such as her DeviantArt name or wherever this art is posted, I will be more than happy to also contact her with who has this image on their photobucket. I do not know who the person is but I found it while browsing and can easily find it again and give her the name.
Thanks for your time. I would appreciate a more direct manner from you in the future. I am quite capable of direct adult communication.

The problem is that this picture is on not just your profile, but the others. The artist's name is Morrigon. The picture is currently on VR under her alt account Annan.
It is actually not on her DA, so it had to have been taken directly from her VR account.

The picture was found on photobucket, of that you can be assure. I will not argue this point with you. I know where it was found. I do not know what VR is? An art site? Once I know the site, I will contact the artist with the information of where her art is on photobucket. My intensions were not meant to be harmful but I do not find that this was handled in a decent manner at all. Things like this should be brought to someones attention with the assumption that they did not steal someones work, but in fact got it off of a very public site, chalk full of stock art. I do not find it kind to accuse one of being a thief, when further investigation was needed. I need more information on VR so that I may contact this person immediately.
Thank you.

VR, vampirerave.com
The site that THIS one is ripped off. The whole concept of this site was ripped off that one. There have been banners for VR all over this site for the longest time.
And as for investigating, there is no need. She will be contacting Onyx through that site and the pictures will have to be taken down.

That will be perfect. Grand Master Onyx is the person I have messaged as well. I do not believe by your words that you like this site. If you think so lowly of this site, why are you here and hateful to those who do like it, like me? Why could you not ask me about the picture directly and Why would you, yourself, an EDUCATOR of this site, obviously trusted enough by Grand Master Onyx to be put in that position, Why would you not go to him? Why not inquire about a potential problem before acting out in such a vicious manner? I understand now why he has gone elsewhere for enforcement. You are a site entrustee and this is how you speak of this site? I dont understand. Can you explain?

Why? Because I submitted MY art for the gallery of kink and was told it would be put up by the end of the day and its been 2 months and it hasn't been placed there yet. Because I have been told that I have to listen to an Admin in my College because I closed her nonsense thread. Because I HATE people that steal.
And the reason I am still here is because I payed for it and I'm not going to waste MY money. GMO can contact me if he wishes to talk about this issue. He has my yahoo and knows my email.
I do not wish to discuss my reasons for staying on this site with you. I don't care if you are an Enforcer or not. It is not your business. :D

Duely noted.
I don't think I have to mention that sometimes people who run websites might get extremely busy and very far behind. Again, that is where direct communication would be beneficial. Grand Master Onyx is human, and isn't perfect, I'm sure. I know him to be a very busy man. He is also kind and fair. I am sure a gentle reminder would have helped your matter. Being hateful sure isn't helping. And if and when you decide to communicate honestly with Grand Master Onyx, make sure to tell him exactly how you feel about his site. I am sure that it would warm his heart to know how his trusted people
really feel.
Have a pleasant night Switch Abstract.
