I wasn't sure if it was okay to make this thread here, or if it'd be better to make it in the SMEG thread, but I thought it made sense to place it here since several sprite members here at Sprites Inc have simultaneously had their non-PD sprites stolen by the same member on sheezyart.

This thread was started to stop all the talk about theft from Galeon's sprite thread, and have a place where all those who had their sprites stolen could talk about this more appropriately.

If a moderator feels it's necessary to lock this thread instead of discuss the situation, or move it down to SMEG where it may belong, that's totally fine.

I don't want to do what's wrong, so it's up to you what should happen to this.

This was the site in question where so many of our sprites were stolen:
http://www.sheezyart.com/view/1854419/

Like I said above, I thought it made sense to put this thread here since it dealt with Sprites Inc, and we're only talking about the members from here.

It's ridiculous to assume we can do anything on sheezyart about this theft, so I do not expect any talk about that site. Only Sprites Inc and our sprites.

And again, this is to stop all the talk in Galeon's sprite thread about this.

(EDIT)-Oh, and this thread is in no-way supposed to be a thread where we make fun of, or demean in any way, the person who stole from us. Don't start an angry hate message against this person. That's why the Favic and GaiX2 threads were closed. We don't want unnecessary arguing about a person.

This topic is only open to the discussion of what has happened, and how we can solve the issue in a very professional manner.

Please treat this subject like adults, and behave. Thank you.

(EDIT2)-I deleted the thread from the "Site Talk" thread, and moved it to the "General Chat" thread. I think it's a better place to put this.

Even though it dealt directly with SI, it was mainly a topic about what goes on within the forum, instead of anything like about the next update.

Just go report him to sheezyart and say what he stole.

I need to be a member. And Galeon's already confronted him. If Galeon's so upset about this theft, then he should have already done so. Right?

If he hasn't though, it'd be nice for another sheezyart member contact the administration on behalf of all of us who've had our non-PD work taken.

You're not suppose to make threads about sprite theft. You're suppose to tell a staff member about it. Threads like this won't lead to anything productive.

Furthermore, from what I can tell on that guy's page, he said he'd stop using the stolen sprites. You guys should try to get him to remove any comics that use your characters though.

Either way, despite the fact that he used sprites from Sprites Inc members, this isn't a Sprites Inc problem. There isn't anything any of the moderating staff can do. What you need to do is talk to SheezyArt staff members about this problem. If this guy posted the comic here, we've got more we can do, but he's still hosted on SheezyArt, meaning it's still very much an issue you guys need to deal with there.

If you're not a member and he stole your sprites, then go sign up and become one.
