As a member on CB I ran across some jockers, that jocked me. I'd like to announce them because if they jocked me, they would jock YOU, so when they submit a layout, check out their codes and make sure they're not your codes. A jocker is always a jocker.

Jockers:
Chiriki
Delicioustyle*
Ultimate MySpace

If you know of any more jockers, list them here. I think we have a right to know who our jockers are. These jockers are most active in website.

The name with the * means they've jocked twice.

Edit: Fixed most grammatical errors..
- Cristy

Hmm, the moderators will definitely take care of this.

They already been deleted but if you want to see what they look like, I try to find them.

Here is the link to Chiriki jock from me Peaceful Sea

And here is the preview of the layout that Delicioustyle jock from me The Wreckers - he eventually change the code, this layout is on here now but this time he didn't take my code, but this what it look like. I told him to credit or recode it, so he recode it. The first layout he took my CSS.

Amazing. these geogerous layout's codings are jocked.

I had a jocker, but she gave me credit so we're cool now. Part of the reason that I wanted to come to an agreement with her was because the layouts she made were cute and I didn't want to see them go away. =/

On the layouts below, I noticed that people had called the creator out on jocking in the comments, but nothing was done about it. But it's really a shame, because the Angelina Jolie one is really pretty:

(Oamazing's code, according to SinfullySweet)

http://fawaz.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=17871
OmarGarcia's code, according to him.

Yea I came to agreement with one of my jockers too. Why isn't those layouts deleted?? What are the name/link of the jockers??

Here's my suggestion. If you see a jocker report it and don't comment on it. We can't read any comment and its being takin care of. The layout by O amazing I'm waiting for her to PM me back. Usually I would of thought she would of PMed one of the mods so I don't know if they made some sort of comprimise to allow them to keep it up. She seemed like a person who'd report it. So I've pmed her today (since I just found out a hour ago) and I'm trying to contact her in otherwise to see if they made some sort of deal and she said it was ok before its immediately removed and other action is taken.

I need proof before the second one so if the real creator will show us the layout with the code or something.

When people don't report it , its hard to know if they made a sort of comprimise earlier. I could remove the layouts immediately but its not fair if they did make something of the sort, etc. So yea. If you guys see a jocker report it. The mods don't have super powers (DANGGGG!) so we can't get to every comment you post sadly.

Hopefully a report button in the profiles/layout sections can be installed .


Jockers come and Jockers go its life really.

^ Yea I agree, hey I check out OmarGarcia's code and it was indeed jock, but he is aware of it.

The angelina jolie layout was indeed jocked. 100% Sure. I viewed that layout, and thought the hovers, and the content sections look REALLY familiar, almost exactly the same as O amazings. So I took the code of the Angelina Jolie layout, and O Amazings Trash world layout, pasted both the codes on wordpad, and clicked both documents back and forth. The coding is exactly the same.

I didn't say it wasn't. As I said I already PMed her about it and I'm trying to find other methods to contact her faster. If she changed her mind after commenting the person, not saying she did, but its possible because it happened before. Its not fair to the person.

Until then I'm not going to do anything about it and I prefer to ask her over the person that submitted the layout themselves.

Just incase she said it was ok its better off waiting till she gets back to me. Its just a better way of approaching things.

Yeah, I think that before any jocked layouts are deleted, the original code creator should definitely be contacted.

Yeap it is my code i tag all my layouts with
"""odgsvlsomf""" so i can track my layouts and that one has it
i also see some others but at lease they change it a bit but that one is my full code just change the images LOL

^ you should get it deleted, but thats a great idea, I should tag all my codes too

Hmm.. toya, the creater of the Jocked Angelina jolie layout still hasnt replied? I know for sure that Oamazing has replied to her.

I did not email the creator of the layout I PMed Oamazing. Its her call so yea. She hasn't replied back to me. Even if you notice someone jocking not all people want the layout removed. Which is the mature way about going about it. As I stated before I'm waiting for OAMAZING to reply back to me. Till then the layout stays.

Well this thread was originally to link the jockers to keep track on them, so people do that ok, link all the jockers you know of.

I don't understand, these people are getting layouts deleted because they edited someone else's stylesheet? Since when was this language able to be copyrighted?

my did not edit the stylesheet they change the images with my name in code! so i cant be responsible for something i didnt do.

i guess if they change the code it wont be that bad.

Yea, you should at least make them credit you, you work hard right?

No, its not that. Imagine, working so hard, spending hours, even days on something. Coding, making it perfect. You work hard on what you do. Only to have someone take it change it, and claim it as they made it.

I think they are jocking both. As stated, by 1angel3, they've jocked codes, and css.

Sure, I know the feeling. I've even had people change the images to ones they made themselves. Personally, I don't mind them changing the image. What I mean is that if they can change it so that it's different, isn't that the same amount of effort? Where did we get all of "our" coding from? Even if we typed it ourself, can we copyright a language?

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that everyone who has layouts on this site figured out all of the myspace CSS for themselves. A lot of us must have learned at least some of it from other sources. I know that I have used a lot of people's scripts for my own layouts, for hiding various things. I have credited them on my layout pages, but since I didn't come up with all of the hiding codes myself, I can't claim all of the code as my own.

It depends on the way you code. Some people look all over for scripts they need to put something together. Of coure, you cant copyright a language. This is like doing a chore , while your brother takes the credit that he finished the chore.

well no you can't copyright a language but if you sat down and hand coded it yourself, you should take credit, the person that took it didn't code it thereself so they should credit, its only right

ok this is another example of stealing my work
this is my layout it is under someone else name & they say that the picture is of them but it is of me!!!

^ I Removed it. ( I remember reviewing that layout in the past.)

What happens to jockers? Because there is this person that is jocking me, but I warned him. I'm just hoping for a response.

^ report him to a staff member. Who is he?

You guys really shouldnt be giving out names in public. Just PM a mod, and they will review the issue.

Yeah, I 100% agree with everything you said.

If a Div is jocked, then it's a bit more understandable for someone to go out of their way to rat out the Jocker. But when it comes to basic CSS and standard Myspace layouts, I personally don't think it's that much of a big deal unless the resemblence between the original and the jocked version are quite a lot alike.

I mean, yeah, all in all it's a pretty sneaky thing to do but, like someone said earlier, if they made a great layout with it, and it's not too much of a reseblence to yours, I'd just let it go.

^ Well this guy jock me again (You prob could guess his name) and he could was exactly like mines, that's how I could tell it's was mine. Because he made the same mistake I made in my code. People don't do that.

Yeah if the Jocker's version was a lot like the original then that'd piss me off too. Haha

^ yeah i got it deleted and he got mad and called me a whore, haha. That shows how immature he is.

He called you a whore?! Ugh, that is really immiture.
I'm glad it got deleated then, haha.

^ Yeah it's still there, go on my profile and you see it but its in italian, you'll have to translate it.

"ma ngul a kitemmuort!!" ?

I'm guessing that's it, haha.

What a jerk.

^ I guess it is

There is a big fat report button just waiting to be tapped

Yeah, i had just made this layout one to two days ago the least (FashionWeek Part II: Tokyo) and (http://www.myspace.com/weaverd316) basically stole the coding and everything is basically the SAME. Except hers is crappy.

^ Yeah, people is always taking people's myspace layout. If you're going to jock at least alter it so it won't look the same as the layout to stole from. Jeeze people.

I agree 100% with you!

For standard layouts unless someone has done something truly unique with their layout that has been copied, it's true that most of them look the same and are going to be using the same classes and IDs anyway. It's true that in a lot of cases you can't really claim ownership of a stylesheet, but the issue is taking someone else's CSS and just changing some colors/images and using the exact same layout. That takes absolutely no work and is pretty low from a designer's standpoint, don't you think?

I personally don't care if people use/modify/copy my code, though, so I guess I'm not too terribly sympathetic in these situations.

This is ridiculous. I like how there's no way to contact them except to ask about their privacy policy.
Thanks for letting us know.

Quit spamming.
