LOL, it's basically like killing your own babies! xDD TheO surely changed since I got here. It's seem stricter and all. D: Everything's messed up. But it's for the better I guess?
I think this whole thing has got a bit out of proportion. I've read various rants both for and against this, meh... I've deleted a handful of my cards myself *sob* just in case... But i'm leaving the rest up for now ^^ hopefully nothing will happen. Not all my cards are fanart anyways...
I kind of understand the concept of it, but it still isn't that serious if the person doesn't claim the art and even credits the original artist. Most importantly, you're not making money off it and you're not saying it was completely made by you, so... :| If I went apeshit over every person that re-uploaded some of my walls on the internet, I'd have gray hair already.
Edit: not saying the mods are going apeshit, it's just a figure of speech.

Hm, well it seems that way. But it won't happen to you, so you don't have to worry about it. I mean, it could, but somehow I have a feeling it won't, because that check on the works happened fast and now it calmed down... And even to me, almost all cards are fan arts as well, so the same thing.
But I more worried if something would happen to you, so I couldn't let that happen! In that case, you don't have to worry. :)
Actually, Angel Zakuro has had eight cards taken down and she deleted 9 more because of using fan arts in her cards. So I'm pretty sure it's not only limited to wallpapers, unfortunately. >.<
Aha, I'm hoping so. ^^
Heh, well maybe... But I still haven't heard that they take cards down because of that. Wallpapers, yes, but no cards. And this was just like a warning, they won't control it more I think. At least for now!
And yes, you have your rights. If something were to happen to your cards or even account... Then they better be careful there, because it won't happen that easy, I assure you!!
I would never delete my precious babies. ;D I know! Well, SunfallE has been making numerous posts implying that we just aren't reading the rules, and she and many others have posted guides as to how to distinguish fan art and such. But at this point, I don't really care. :)
Yeah, I've only had one of my works taken down, and I'm guessing no one else reported any others. XD But they probably will soon, and there's nothing I can do about it then. ^^;
Well, I'm pretty sure every card I've made was using a fan art for the image, but like hell I'm gonna go take em all down. XD I have rights as an artist! Not really. ;D
At least you have everything saved to your computer :/ That's so retarded though, because it's not like we KNOW if we're taking scans or actual artwork >> I hope you feel better though, I know how you feel.
What's this about works being deleted in the near future?
It would be sad to see your account gone. Life can be...>w>;;
Anyhoo, hope you're a less sick of it by the time you read this! x3
*hugs hugs so you feel mucho better* Cookie? *hands her a cookie*
Well, I kinda did a bit of that with e-cards and wallies and it can be frustrating when a work gets deleted but those kind of stuff are part of our life and we should know from them. :) So cheerio up, ne? ^____^
You haven't broken that rules and your account will not get deleted! Let them try!! You always have done everything according what you thought is right and for the others. That would be unjust... And how are things right now in your life, this is the last what you need. It will not happen, it can't happen.
Well I feel like an outsider because I very rarely use images I don't know the source of, but, well, I don't see this as actual plagiarism. When I think of "plagiarism", I imagine someone willingly and knowingly taking someone else's work and claiming it as their own. I haven't seen anyone on TheO doing the latter, they only claim the work process that went into their works (adding effects on the image and NOT creating the base image itself).
Then again, I'm cynical so that's my general outlook on life as well c: *high fives*

I agree with you completely. When making a card, I'm not claiming the original image. But I guess it is copyright. ^^;

I'm sorry you're unhappy. I wish you luck.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.
