ripping-do not do it. Rpiing is when you steal someones signature,avatar or anything else that that person made and then the 'ripper' passes it off as their own, or uses it without permission. well you can discuss it now.

This isn't part of the official rules, but I'll assume you're suggesting it as such. I think it's possibly a good idea, as profile-theft can be very confusing and can use up people's Photobucket bandwidth. However, if people are doing it as a joke and have the permission of the person they're copying, that's another matter.

I think if it's clear the person whose profile is being used - whether the images have been re-uploaded to another site or not - is seriously unhappy about it and would like people to stop, then it should be stopped. Decrees 2 or 7 could be expanded to include general persistent harassment of a certain member (as opposed to disabling a group of people from enjoying 667, or sending unwanted PMs).

Pig, please stop multiple-posting. I merged your posts.
And I agree with Dante--if the person stealing another's profile is clearly doing so to mock or annoy that person, then it counts as harrassment and would fall under some existing decrees.

If someone's copying your current profile, give a link to their profile page and a GMod might be able to help. Or just PM the person directly and tell them you're annoyed, and ask them to stop stealing your name and such.

That may be the best way to work things out, if you think he'll be online.

Yeah, put the person's name that you are copying even if you already have their permission, so that the rest of us don't think that you are ripping someones stuff
