My Lion King Forum

I've noticed quite a few Stolen art lately, And I thought there could possibly be some fanart mods? Because It would possibly be a bit easier for the staff, and that there would be a little possible more focus on the FAA. Not saying that no one does.. but its just a Suggestion.

I don't even see why one would want to steal art on here tbh...
OK I get in reality people might steal an expensive valuable painting, but stealing fan art just to be falsely credited as the artist? Niiiiiceee.

Edt: On the subject, I agree that it would be nice to have staff assigned to sections in terms of organisation. But I don't think (think) that art is stolen enough to warrant a mod just for that purpose
(alhough there are a lot of guests hanging around the Graphics forum) ... We are watchin' you! :P

I think it's a great idea D: my art has been the target of theft on here SOOOOOO many times >.<

I'm not blaming Moka, or saying he doesn't do a good job, because he does s FAB job! And whenever I point out stolen art, it's always delt with quickly, but I think it'd be a good idea, so Moka doesn't have so much to do

Good idea SDC

True, true...

Ya, art theft is a hard thing to track online...

It is quite common though and while it most of the time is pretty harmless, it does make people upset So I think having a mod or two to keep the Fan Art section theft-free is a good idea *nods*

well, the idea sounds good, I have to give you credit for that, I mean, it could work

I think it's a good idea. I see artwork being stolen/traced so much here that it's ridiculous, and no offense to the mods but it's a real pain to keep reporting these pics over and over again instead of getting them noticed and removed by the mods themselves.. I mean, enforcing this Universal Rule is their job right? I've seen stolen artwork that I noticed in a single day that takes weeks for the staff to find out about it. I wouldn't mind helping out every once in a while but it feels more like a chore than offering a helping hand when it comes to dealing with stuff like this.
It's also not just theft that I notice, but general disregard for the rules overall. I've seen people upload pics that are completely off-topic and sometimes get away with it.

Well I am online quite a lot and I caught a couple art thieves before! I would like to help and be a FAA mod! I'd do my job proudly!
