Due to the increasing number of thefts and unauthorized/uncredited edits of my skins, I've decided to create this list.
I'm just tired of seeing this happen, and of the nerve some of these people have.

IF YOU SEE MY SKINS BEING REPOSTED OR EDITED ANYWHERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Culprit: STARWARS123
Notes: Repost of my old N skin, without the "hat" part.
This same guy had reposted that skin on PMC (under another nickname). He never stated he wasn't the maker of it.

Culprit: Sonnita2
Notes: Edit of my Gumi skin. She removed the shading on the skin parts, removed the goggles, covered the ears with hair and called it a day.
Seems to be a compulsive reposter.

Location: removed by moderators!
Culprit: micki22
Notes: Repost of an edit previously posted by another user (removed his screenshot and name as it seemed to be a honest mistake).
Contacted her with a polite comment on the submission; she deleted the comment.
Contacted her on DeviantArt; she claimed that she didn't know of the existence of my skin, that it was her work, and that therefore she wouldn't credit me nor delete the skin. She got quite mad after the skin was removed.
I could have posted the whole conversation, but this reply of hers perfectly sums up her position:

Notes: Repost of my winged incubus. I'm actually confused about this one. Probably some roleplayer?

I've had incidents like this before, but on the Minecraft Skindex. I didn't mind, as long as they put my name in the description. Most people didn't though, so I can see how you can get ticked off.. but is putting all of their names really necessary? *Since they already were reported/skins were deleted* .-.

I don't honestly understand why people do that. Maybe it's because they see the actual skin makers get respected, then they want respect, too? I don't know. They're just dummies.

I guess so too, they just want to be praised. What pleasure does praise give anyway, if it's not their work?

I believe some others actually consider slight edits as "their work", which is ever stupider. It's like slapping a sticker on the glass of a car and saying you made the car.

At least some apologize after being caught. But being so stubborn..?
