Has your avatar been stolen?


Ramirez

Recommended Posts

this guy is taking avatars that are not in use from the submitted avatar page and using them for his own. i have already tried reasoning with him but he seems to think it's ok to help himself to others work. (he is under the impression that winning a free avatar on spin and win means you can take any avatar from the submitted page)

 

this is his profile page:

http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=118390

 

have a look, he may be using one of your avatars.

 

this is the avatar he took from me:

Loads of people, even people who know better, just take avatars they want without asking permission. This thread is a good idea to post when someone does this kind of shit.

 

These are the kind of things game admin should fix. I understand Mike has no time to do it all thats why I have never got why we dont have other game moderators who could do stuff like this? Remove or add these avatars and so it would fix the whole problem in a heart beat.

 

Guys like Duphus or PBR could do stuff like that and I can say 100% they would agree to do it.

i didnt someone else did -- i rarely give negs or positive -- i dont like the idea of them not being public where people are accountable for them

 

Not about public or not that is not the questions really but about game moderators who would deal with stuff like this.

 

If you where asked to be game Moderator that could do stuff in game like add or remove avatars do stuff like that you would agree on that possition?

I have no problem doing whatever to help them game out -- the public comment was towards up voting or down voting post as I think they should be public but thats another subject

 

 

 

I pm'ed the manager to see if can get this worked out -- here is what i pm'ed him

 

has been brought to our attention that Josey "Outlaw" Wales (316617) is using an avatar that you did not create or paid to create. although there is no actual rule broken it is frowned upon as many paid tycoon money to have these avatars specially created for themselves and use vip time to use them. im asking that you remove the avatar and no longer use avatars that you didn't create or pay to have created for you. hope you understand and we can get this worked out.

Well then maybe you should better PM Mike and tell him about idea like that? Because its a huge problem in the game when something happens like VIP days are not working or something people really have to wait time to time even months to have it fixed.

 

Same goes for custom avatars they some times get accepted after weeks or months.

What the fuck.. and that guy asked for custom work. He can join the other 2 on the blacklist now for my work haha.

 

I made both avatars, the first one I believe was made for a tournament made by Rory, something about a old timey gangster theme. I don't know who it was for/or if it was an auction and who won. However this could be tracked back relatively easy in my avatar thread once the starting date of that tournament is known. The second was an ava for myself.

 

Avatars have been getting re-used a lot by members before. I don't really track the accepted/decline pages as frequently as I once did, but usually when I saw duplicates of my work I'd get in touch with the manager and explain to them how the avatar system works and request for the work to be removed.

 

Perhaps there should be a brief explanation/warning on the avatar submission page to inform the un-aware / new managers before submitting already used avatar for their own use.

Isn't he the guy who posted a custom avatar comp for $1m in prizes and then admitted he tried bullshitting his way out of it?

Yeah I remember it being something to do with the Gangs Of New York tournament, since there were a few of them going around. Putting up a warning notice in the avatar submitting page would be the best course of action.

has just stolen one of my avatar, this http://www.mmatycoon.com/gallery/0/15108446921944.jpg you can see that i've uploaded it some weeks ago.

 

 

Since in this game avatars cost both TIME and REAL MONEY can't we disable right mouse functions on the game's site to prevent all this theft ? I'm not a programmer but something must be done

I think that's a bit drastic. I'd say the implementation of an easy report button should do it. Add a fee in vip days on top of that, 15 or 30 days or something

I removed the avatars on my own accord. I didn't realize that it would cause an issue and I apologize for disturbing the peace. I understand now that it isn't acceptable to use others avatars. Yes, I am the one who asked for custom avatars but that in and of itself should reflect that I didn't know it was an issue to use avatars that were already uploaded or I would've just left that out because it's something you can't do. I NEVER tried to back out of giving away the money. I did however refuse to pay someone because he caused issues and asked for money well before the tournament was finished and ovoxo because he basically posted an existing Avatar with a minor change and that was against the rules of the tournament. I did however give a million dollars away though. Again, I apologize. I've learned from it and it won't happen again.
