Reporting a Sig Ripper, Please READ.

Please moderators approve this post, I wanted to Private Message the user but it is currently disabled so this is the only way to reach him. If anyone reads this post please contact Easy-E to have him read this message. It is very important because it involves someone stealing and claiming his artwork as his own.

Ripper in Question:


Original Artist in Question:
viewtopic.php?t=110090

Context: The Ripper "Blades" has been claiming to be Easy-E and is using his signatures on our site's contests and is claiming them as his own. However I was rather skeptical and decided to do a background check and figured out that Blades is ripping signatures from other artists.

It is also nice to note that the Ripper uploaded the Easy-E's signature unto his own host via http://i53.tinypic.com/2ryj9mg.png instead of Easy-E's original link which shows that the Ripper was trying to hide something.

I did cross check examination to prove that the Ripper "Blades" is not Easy-E has I have noticed that Easy-E is from Austrialia and has PSN while Blades doesn't have PSN and is from America. We will punish Blades on our forum for stealing artwork because we see plagiarism as one of the worst things someone can do but all I ask (and need) is that Easy-E post here to verify that he is not Blades so we can punish this member otherwise we don't have enough proof to punish him. So please help!

Please send the word out / I hope this can get approved.

I'll approve this because plagiarism is a disgusting thing.

Shit's about to go down yo, have you guys taken any actions against the member who claimed Eazys work as his own?

[Eazy-GFX]

Lmao @ him claiming to be me. If he REALLY is me, tell him to sign into my deviantART account and make an update on my page about this matter.

I guess this shit was bound to happen. As you can tell, I am not that guy Blades who is posting on that forum.

[Kuyou]

At the moment I am the only Moderator of this forum with knowledge of the situation however I will contact the entire staff and we'll get on the case once everything has been verified. As far as Blades goes he is unaware of this situation as I am waiting to gather all the evidence to confront and properly punish him.

EDIT - Thanks for confirming Eazy-E, I simply joined this forum to get in contact with you and I'm glad I managed to reach you. Also, do you mind linking to your DA account? Thanks!'

PM sent to you. Sucks this kind of stuff happens, though.

Props Kuyou, nice catch. Awesome name btw but how do you pronounce it? I'ma call you Kaiyou though, cause that's just BAD ASS. As for Blades, how did he find Eazy-E's work? He must be a member on here or something, otherwise it's pretty random to steal someones work from here as we are not a GFX based website. Can't believe people steal other peoples artwork and claim it as their own, I don't know how they live with themselves. What's to gain from someone elses work?

I love that sig though E, awesome work bro.

[VenomBlackViper]

She should release Blades IP to a mod & have them check it against a registered member on here.

[dR3]

^Yeah we can try that.

[Kuyou]

Yeah I could do that. Which Moderator should I PM?

That sucks,but it's bound to happen i guess,there are millions of copycats outhere.Hmm try to put the watermark in place where they can't remove it by cutting the pic or so?Tho with enough skill it still can be removed/covered,but not by the ones that are new to PS(or DA,GFX etc)
