JOCKERS AMONG US!, be cautious with these people Options

[1angel3]

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

[OmarGarcia]

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!!!

[freeflow]

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

[luku]

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

[1angel3]

^ 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.

Well excuse me for saying this, but you can't jock CSS. All you did was put in a few elements, to an already built style sheet. If you created your own than bravo. But it was based on an a langauge that was created already for you.

As far as DIV layouts go, that property does belong to you, becuase you did make the image, which is usually the most important part, and the positioning which takes a long time.

But I don't see holding a grudge over the internet for someone stealing something that you made a good way to spend your time. If they are making money from your layout, and you feel mad about that, then you should have sold it too.

well thats my take on it.

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.

[1angel3]

^ 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.

[CrotchetTheLeper]

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

[1angel3]

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

[CrotchetTheLeper]

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

[1angel3]

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

[CrotchetTheLeper]

"ma ngul a kitemmuort!!" ?

I'm guessing that's it, haha.

What a jerk.

[1angel3]

^ I guess it is

[*SinfullySweet*]

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

[ScriptedLove]

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.

[1angel3]

^ 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.

[SharperMyspace]

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?

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.

I agree 100% with you!

[libertie]

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.
