It has come to the staff's attention that graphics have been used by our members that are not their own. The creator of the graphics that were used has contacted us and has taken down the graphics since apparently they were not asked if their graphics could be used.
THIS IS NOT OK AT ALL.
I thought it was common knowledge that using someone else's graphics, or thread templates, or anything else that they have made, you needed to ask permission to use and not to use if you have not had the ok. But apparently some were not aware of this. So I'm going to say this once and anyone else on this site that does not follow this rule will be suspended for as long as the Admins see fit.
If you are going to use someone else's graphics then you MUST have permission from them and if you do have permission then you also MUST credit them somewhere be it in your signature if you're using graphics there or in a post where you've used the graphics. Ect.
I know I may be seeming like a hardass about this but I have all reason to be. Situations like this causes problems not only for Admins but everyone else on the site. And also it makes us look bad, which we don't want.
So please don't do this. And to you Rae if you see this I'm so sorry that this has happened we'll do everything in our power to make sure it doesn't happen again.
