*Do Not Copy Other Members*

This means everything from shop design and layout to graphics offerings. The A/S section is here to serve WI. It's filled with people who want to help other people and artists who want to showcase and share their work with others. Plagarism or copying of other people's shop layouts, designs or art is unacceptable.

If you do this your shop will be closed.

When you are designing your shop or considering what type of graphics to offer DO NOT copy other members threads, layouts, shop design or art.

If you see this please flag the shop or PM a staff member.

ONLY report if YOUR idea/layout has been stolen.
Do not report what you think may have happened regarding other people's layouts/graphics.

(This includes ORIGINAL art, designs, shop layouts, etc. This does not include things that you offer that are available from the internet. If you offer blinkie dolls or other things made on the internet other people can do this too. Do not report these shops.)

*This includes members avatars and signatures*

You may not copy other people's avatars or signatures without permission. Some graphics may be from sites where anyone can find them. This is not considered stealing and is allowed. On the other hand, some avatars may be of a person's own drawing or computer work, or they may have taken an avatar from a site and then enhanced it with their own graphics, captions, bling, etc. Copying enhanced avatars is the same as copying someone's hand-drawn art and is not allowed.

If you want an avatar like someone else's, you should ask them where they got it. If it's their own work, you may ask if you can copy it or if they will make one similar, but if they say no, then you may not copy it.

I don't want my work copied. This helps alot. My shop partner sillybung had this idea for a "peek-a-boo webkinz" and she offers them at her shop. Well her old partner stole her idea and now offers them at her shop... so I better go flag the post...

Thanks for the thread. I dont like when people do that. That's why on my part of Stella's shop, in the rules I put something like Please Do NOT steal from the pick-ups section, or the graphics I have by each title before the form. Something like that.

-Thanks
