hm I'm not sure about that, but I think that the account gets frozen and the person can't log into it.
yeah that is crazy, I've seen some other artist also saying that their artwork and identity have been taken by imposters. that's just really terrible, the thieves have some nerve.
Yes I'll wait to see if the account gets taken down but in the meantime I wonder if that person can still post artwork?
Its one thing to post someone's artwork and take credit for it but to also take their name and pretend to be them is crazy!
I've checked the account is still there but the gallery is empty. I don't know if the person is still able to post more artwork or not.
Ms. Law the real puimun has already reported to theO about it but I could try to email them to make sure if its taken care of?

are you for real? and I had seen so much of her artwork posted up lately too. : (
the best thing to do is just wait now, but at the moment it looks like all the artwork has been taken down.
for crying out loud these art theif need to stop stealing and stop being stupid. >: {
it's a good thing you brought this up cause I was kinda wanting to sub to that person cause I liked the art. : (
I THOUGHT there was something funny about the puiman here! Though I don't know her personally, I thought it was strange how some things happened with her 'account' over here... Thats just wrong!! I have had situations where theO is really lenient with art theft and plagiarism tho :( and its not like we can 'gang up' on the fake puiman here either. We can stop supporting the stolen work and the thief tho, and spread the word. And you can always go to This page and report her to Gail Brightbill! That might work better!
Thankyou for telling about this!
Edit: I just searched puiman here and the fake account isn't anywhere to be seen, so perhaps she's been taken care of now?! Great work!!

I've noticed with theO that there is no indication whether the person has been banned or not. So I'm going to assume that the impostor was banned unless they post more art.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
Whoa. I never would have known. I'm removing that drawing from my favorites. Thanks for sharing this. I think reporting helps, but it might take time.* I suggest you tell the real puimun to contact theO.
*There's this other art thief whose latest incarnation has been posting peoples art smeared with MS Paint. I've reported "her" stuff, but no one's taken it down. On the other hand, somebody posted a screenshot with text to make one of those un-funny posters and that was removed immediately.

She has contacted the site about it. I've check that fake puimun and all the artwork has been taken down. But the account is still active.
