I just received a very nice PM from a helpful member on DP that has pointed me in the direction of a new member who just signed up at DP today that has basically taken the thread I just posted tonight where I am selling a unique template and is offering it on netbuilders.com for a much higher price. There is absolutely no way they could resell it because the image is much to small to simply copy and paste into photoshop to even slice up and reproduce the code for so I don't see the point other than just purely trying to scam someone!! This is my thread: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1593656 and this is the thread this person just posted on another forum: http://www.netbuilders.org/themes/s...e-website-chic-hip-boutique-design-12528.html This person on DP's profile is here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/member.php?u=314360 Can someone please ban this fool?? This is ridiculous!
Ummm apparently there is quite a few other threads he is stealing too.. Nevertheless the scam tard took it down and I have used an extra watermark. Jesus.
You'll probably get the same old response of not getting involved in member disputes, unless you can contact netbuilders and see if they have a different policy and at least get something done at their end. But yeah, watermarks really are neccessary, lesson learned..
Unless they're selling a stolen copy here on DP, there's nothing we can do. We aren't going to ban someone because someone at another forum is posting stolen items. There's no way to verify they're absolutely the same people, and we don't babysit what people do on other forums. If they post a thread here about it (or trying to sell anyone else's designs), then use the report post button and we can look into it.
This 404's now. Looks like it got dealt with on the other end. edit: "Shake me like a pig?" That gets the vote for weird username of the day.
[humour]Just for someone selling a design? Boy, remind me not to piss off the folks around here.[/humour]
Basically what it was was this shakemelikeapig posting threads from DP on Netbuilders but increasing the price that the people on DP were asking for in the original thread. He would receive messages from interested buyers on Netbuilders who would then approach the original seller on DP saying he could sell their product for them. He would obviously be taking a large cut and then acting like the go between between the seller and buyer.. It's definitely interesting, I find it unethical obviously and I don't think he would get away with it for very long.
