First of the new year, eh? 7352160 had the Spirit of The Arabian layout in hir designer tab to sell for 850coins. When asked to remove, they first kept pretending that they had no idea what I meant by a layout off my site, blah, blah, blah. When removed, they refused to admit anyone bought the layout and didn't want to refund them, but I some players did for a FACT. If you did, message me AND her on HL.
(when I demanded a screenshot of activities to see who bought it, she politely obliged with this BUT started from yesterday, not today, which means she DID see someone buy it and still refuse to admit and refund them).

It's been almost two whole months without major issues. Had to come across another impotent sooner or later i guess. 6985491 has a club layout (Steeplechasing Club) on her page. I was notified of this by someone, and asked her politely to remove it or just change one of the personal page ones that she is welcome to use. This is the reply: "Too bad because I already have the layout on there. And you cant take it off!" So, the moderators will be involved again. I have messaged nicely that thank you, but it WILL be removed one way or another, and mods will take care of it, as i will not fight over HL. She has also been notified that she lost the priveledge to use ANYTHING on this site, and any further use IS copyright infringement and is against the law. I have decided, however, to give it a day or so, so the mods can ask her to remove, before contacting the site legal department.

I am again having issues with 4448842. Her layout credits are "google images". I have contacted all three the original owners through long searches and notified them as I've had troubles with her before. Please report her deviation on deviantart (if you have an account) so it can be removed from site.
(update on the update: she has removed the deviation and deactivated the account, thank you all that reported! I will still be checking though)

Apparently, certain people expect my terms of use to be on my HL page - why i will never understand, you didn't get the layout's code from there, you got it HERE. Also, "T's and C's" is apparently too heavily shortened to be understood (never mind the fact that official adverts and companies use it as well, but whatever) so it is now LINKED to the terms and conditions page from layouts as well (the front page's was linked from the start but NO, people can't see it)

It has come to my attention that yet another player has failed to recognise my terms of use. 4448842 has taken a layout, cut off the scroll boxes i added (DUH, that's EDITING of the picture, isn't it?!), reuploaded it somewhere and changed the coding completely.
I will need to keep count of how many times this happens, and think of a limit. I cannot continuously deal with this, this site will have to be shut down if i reguarally get these kinds of messages.

Another player has broken my rules. 7309577 tried to enter one of my free layouts in a contest, when confronted she merely edited the image link out of the layout to her own image (which was not even stock or credited). The terms and conditions clearly say no editing of the codes or images. She is not allowed to use any of my layouts or graphics again, if anyone sees something similiar or someone who has refrained from following rules, and have been said not to use these (all on the shame list), but still are, please contact me!

Unfortunately, it has been brought to my attention that this 7011574 is selling some my layouts from this site. They were under the designer liscence for sale to anyone for coins. Clearly, this is FORBIDDEN according to my terms of use, and I WILL do what I need to.
Other than that, please make sure that you never pay for one of the graphics on this site, they will always be free coming from me (and I made them, so you need to get it from me). If ever a situation arises that I will let someone distribute these on my behalf, it WILL be mentioned here.
If you ever see anyone claiming my graphics as their own, or selling them for ANY amount of coins, please contact firstly the HL moderators, and then me if possible, to sort them out please.
Let's hope this was the first and last time, if it continues I will take the site down, which I don't want to do.
