Hi, I'm sorry to bother you but can you give me a little info on what happened to !waterbender196? From the comments, she recently got banned but that's all I could find, was it some copyright thing or was she abusing the site's policy? You seem to know about this situation, so I thought I can ask you about it. Thanks.
:iconkagato23:
She was indeed banned.

Basically, she was stealing. There was obviously lots of tracing of screenshots in her character poses, but moreso then that a lot of her backgrounds were not public domain but copyrighted work.

Not only did she not reference these facts, but she insisted that she was not in fact taking the art from other sources, or even tracing, even when people began presenting proof.

A group of avatars on a site called plus4chan (which is anti-zutarian and pro troll to boot) began reporting her in masse. Technically legal, as they were reporting an actual violation. Just in huge numbers.

Whole sections of her comic began to dissapparer as the pictures were removed. Eventually, she was banned outright.

I'm on plus4chan, I can even link you to there thread on it. Though if you liked her work (or zutara) the link and the avatar section of the site itself will probably make you mad. Also, there's lots of porn there. avatar and otherwise. but a cool mp3 upload section!

That's terrible. I haven't been a Zutarian for too long so I didn't get to read her stories. But that's still just plain rude. :pissedoff:

I don't know much, but I do know. Throw salt over your left shoulder, plant rosmary by your garden gate and love whenever you can.
:iconxxbutterfly-94xx:

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN AVATAR

Thanks for the update, because I got so confused over the online arguments. Yes, I am a zutarian but I'm not an avid one (or else I would know what was going on in the first place). I have a DA account b/c this site has a great collection of zutara fanart, and they're straight from the source which is always a plus instead of using google to find them .

I do feel a little sorry for her, but her perma-ban should be acceptable (though others beg the differ). She might get sued for this, and not just from Viacom. And yes, if you can I would like to read up on the article about her getting banned. I only recently found her comic last week, and now its gone and forcing me to painstaking search each page one by one. Thanks again man, appreciate it.
:iconkagato23:
Oh, it's not an article, it's a thread.

I'd say it upsets you, because, well... here's a summary.

"Guys, I hate this girl. Her story stinks, her art sucks and it's a ripoff anyway."

"Let's report her."

"haha, yeah!"

"Oh sweet she's banned! We win!"

Here's the article. it does have a link to a file that has all her work collected though. It's huge though, cause she never reduced picture sizes.

Also, seems like she's continuing on myspace, it' sat the bottom of this very long thread.
