Warning to all dA users

In case you were wondering what the deal is with why certain cases of 'theft' aren't taken seriously. Pretty much sums it all up with evidence.
Also, most of us know that realitysquared isn't exactly on everyone's 'top 10' list of admins on the internet... Most of the people who have dealt with that particular admin seem to always get the short end of the stick in most cases. Even I am not too fond of them... Just sayin'.  

The short story: The reason why 90% of the reports for theft aren't really fixed is because apparently "alterations, edits, traces, and references are becoming regarded as acceptable by dA" -- meaning if someone does any of these things your report will probably be partially ignored if not completely.
Your best bet would be to contact the person directly through a note and ask them to remove the work or give credit (depending on your preference).
If they refuse it seems that the dA admins can't really be held liable for keeping up with their own rules, so reporting a stubborn thief who refuses to do as you ask would be moot at this point.

Way to go dA... way to go.
:sarcasticclap:  I wouldn't expect any awards to be granted to this website for 'outstanding service', despite how large and well known it is these days.
I never knew there were so many loopholes to get around stealing O_o Only on dA though it seems, haha!


Personally I have been thinking about moving to Tumblr or Furaffinity. I'm already on both but I've kind of ditched FA for the most part. However, I may very well go back since at least on there people are a bit more mature and the admins give just a bit more shit about things. Not completely, it's a small site but still... I've never had many qualms about it tbh.
Tumblr is just...Tumblr. No better nor worse than dA for the most part. It's a fun place but it can be just as horrible as dA.
I don't know... I feel like such a 'sjw' (as they say, hurrr) but can't help it. This is just stupid.

-----------

I just can't. I'll be on tumblr or at FA now.

I'm seconding what Cosimaa said; honestly there isn't anything wrong with the site at all. Some of the admins, however.... though I can't really complain yet.For me, dA's the best site that I can share my art on. Weasyl and FA just don't kick it for me, as much as I would like them too... :no:
