I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with what ripping is but we have a serious problem with a user who is claiming certain signatures are his.
Ripping is a serious offense in the GFX world. Ripping is basically taking a signature made by one person, and using it on another forum without their permission and claiming you made it. This is what Cedric Diggory is doing.
He requests about 2 or 3 signatures a day. You can look at any thread in the Hogwarts Gallery section and see some proof, also he has private messaged me a lot of times before for requests.
I saw he posted on a topic and this is what he said, "So just a Draco Signature? I might give this a go. Most people on here think im no artist. I used to be one, so now its my time to shine. Smile It will be finished today."
I PMed him after that and asked to see some more of his work. He replied with some signatures. This is where I really busted him. I took screen shots for easy viewing for you.
Here is the first sig:

Second sig:

Third sig:

Fourth sig:

Now I know on DeviantArt all signatures are copyrighted by the owner.

Now I have numerous ideas on what he does with these signatures.
1. Claims he GFXs on other sites and takes the requested sigs on here and gives them to people on other forums.
2. Just uses sigs we have made for him and claims that he made them.
3. Just gay.
Now how stupid can you be to have ripped work found so fast like I did. It took me a day to find all the signatures he showed me in a PM. That is why I have refused to make anymore signatures on here in case other people do the same.
If it helps you could always keep the original on your P.C. and release copies that have some sort of tag that shows the image was created by you. _________________ Join Reality Of It All!!!
