from now on, put your credit on the image. that's the best you can do.

The only thing you can do is ignore them. One of their friend will know he/she/it is doing something unusual.

i mean, c'mon. cB is popular and well-known for graphics and designs.

alot of people come here and ... look at pictures. these pictures posses into their mind.

whenever they go, they'll familar w/ the picture.

I agree with you that people shouldn't do that. But what can we do? These people constantly do that. They steal other peoples work , try to submit them, thinking no one would notice. Like a recent incident. Really , I don't know of anything that we can do . These people just aren't creative, and only find success in stealing other peoples work. I totally agree with you though. But yea.


Oh and I agree with above.

^exactly.

we can't exactly do anything about it, except you can just not submit your layouts.

put credits on all your images, it may not help if people just put in their own images but thats all you can do.

Dont kill me or anything but, can you explain a bit further on how she "stole the codes" ?


Yes, I know that means stealing the code, it's a duh thing but, how can you tell?

So, all she did was change the image codes?


I think I get this now.

I don't think I can pull those layouts out though. I mean, yes, I have the powers but, there needs to be definitive proof.

And no, I'm not taking sides. Someone submitted my sig into the graphics queue and well, that made me pretty mad. I understand what ya'll feel and how ya'll hate this.

^ If you look at the codes of both of their layouts, its the exact same.
Im going to reject them, jocking the code is as bad as jocking images.

^ NO DONT DO THAT YET


Toya is/has pmed the peterwentzx or whatever the heck it is person. Toya's got it under wraps.

Well, one of them was already rejected, so I thought it was okay... eek.. I already did... Sorry.
but I mean really, even if they CAN be put on here, we can always re-accept them.

True.

It's okay. How were you to know?

^ so whats going on with her? Cause some of her layouts are back up.
Im so confused.

She claims she got the code from her friends, Toya emailed (I believe) this "friend" to get it all checked out.

Toya did all this pretty much. The pm-ing and yeah.

^ That stinks.
Geez... some people.
Guess you'll have to keep reporting it - I mean, mods won't check to see who's code it looks like.

well not only that but people jock off of generators as well
like this person

^ took care of that - I usually never mess with Myspace stuff, but that is so OBVIOUSLY against the rules, I might as well.

well lately alot of people been using the bbz generators...

off topic but awesome u made xanga staff

Not good - PM or post anymore that you find.

Thanks! I'm excited!

i want to truly thank you guys for your work and effort to track down unreliable "so-called" designers.

i mean, you cant call them "designer". obviously, they suck like shit.

well since this topic came up... and many staff members want create blog to stay where it was, we can start by eliminating jockers

I read the entire post, so bare with me here.

On the topic of jockers, I only have one thing to say whether or not it's what people want to hear, well.

Firstly art is art, if you look at alot of personal websites today: (xanga, www.this.com, myspace) there are alot of people who have taken ideas from other people and well, warped them. It's the same with music, if you listen to alot of bands songs, over a period of time you'll notice a pattern.

some of the chord structures are the same, only reversed or ect.

take for instance, polly by nirvana.
you know the chords you love them
this might surprize you, but if you play "dumb" from in utero.
GASP! it's pretty much the same chord structure for the verse
only a either backwords, or somethings switched around.
(it's been a while, and yes i am a fan)

I know you are thinking to yourselfs "but what does this have to do with jockers?"
art imitates life.
there is nothing in art AT THIS MOMENT, that hasn't been already done at least once.
i see alot of layouts (not from this forum) but in general that very similar to ones i've seen in the past. I give people alot of credit because I've been busting my tush trying to figure this stuff out for the past month, with no real headway.

So, maybe they did steal your codes, or maybe they did use a picture.
Maybe they are jealous of your skills.
I guess it all boils down to how crafty you are, at making your images "your own" and when to recognize somebody stealing it.
The only real way to prevent this from happening?
I suggested some kind of "sig" or something.

Sorry, I'm being the "voice of maturity" here.
