This is my personal wall of shame where I will put posts and stories of various people who I think deserve to be here. If you object to any of these, please debate the case in a mature fashion. Flaming will get you put on here. I will usually tell people off if I see an offence, if they do not heed my words and not remove or apologise for whatever is causing a problem they are put onto here unless otherwise stated. I will not be censoring names of people on here (apart from innocents) as they deserve to be exposed and looked down upon.
I came into the skin industry after doing art requests around various sites so I knew the process. I was hoping Skin theft wasn't as much as a problem as Art theft is, I was very wrong.
If you see ANY of my skins uploaded ANYWHERE without credit given to me, please tell me immediately! I'll deal with it and possibly put them on here if things aren't resolved.
DIRECT THIEVES
All people directly taking credit for one of my skins immediately gets put on here as to warn other users and for people point and laugh at them.

This one made me very disappointed. My Zekrom skin was recently removed for some unknown reason and I never got around to re-uploading it, and this person took advantage of him being gone. I've reported it, hoping it gets taken down soon.

No description, but the title reveals all. We have a theif, ladies and gentlemen.

Really lazy? Want to get really popular? Why not just steal an entire texture pack? Especially a popular one, that way nobody will notice!

Ugh, Arcanine is most certainly my most commonly stolen skin. Usually it's just uploaded without credit given, but this is the first time someone has claimed ownership. Scum of the skin industry these people are. I tried to make an account on World of Minecraft to ask them to delete and apologise for it, but I'm having a lot of trouble doing so. I created an acount (noticing there was nowhere to put in your new password) and then it took me to the main page. I tried again and it told me the username and email I chose was already taken, I even requested an email to be sent with a password and I'm still waiting. If anyone could tell this guy to get rid of this I would be forever grateful. Even if he does delete it, the post stays here as this is a serious case of skin theft.
And look, he's uploaded it to the skindex too:
If I ever get the chance to contact this guy, he is getting a stern word from me.

Arcanine once again, and fail thief has failed. Not only did they spell Growlithe wrong, that is indeed Arcanine and not Growlithe. I have a feeling they might suffer from Officer Jenny syndrome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFgfPAcYWT8&feature)

Just a simple upload by someone and no mention of me given at all. I told them not to upload my skins, no change was made, and here they are, Huzzah.
Location: http://www.minersneedcoolshoes.com/2011/04/27/skymin/
Just like the dragonite, warned and no action taken. This user also uploaded a shiny Shaymin edit which they also did not give credit for.
Location: Various places around http://minecraftskinshare.com/
What a surprise, Arcanine's there. More of my skins uploaded with no credit. HOWEVER, look at the last one. I didn't upload that one but they used my name. That kiddie is getting Christmas presents this year for not claiming ownership and gets a pat on the head from me *patpat*. The rest aren't even worthy of coal.
Location: Various places around http://minecraftskinshare.com/
Now this one confused me. They've uploaded my skins but with variations of my name. I don't know if it's an attempt giving credit or trying to be me. The second one might even be a typo *shrug*. Nonetheless they've earned a spot on here.
Location: http://www.minersneedcoolshoes.com/?s=Umbreon
I honestly have no idea what this person is trying to do with my umbreon skin. Is it a thieve's bandanna (how ironic) or something? Oh well, no credit was given or permission to edit and they haven't responded to me.
Now I know there are a few others around, I've been trying to find all the ones I've come across so far and I'll add them as I continue to find them. But please tell me if you find any!

and those last umberon's in the bottom makes me wonder, why put a thief's mask on umberon.. let alone recolor it like that.. Looks like very bad recolor works in Photoshop
*Edit omg im talking to Audra lol i love all of your skins.
so audra, i made a Black Kyurem skin and i have to admit now that i used your Zekrom skin as a template. i just made the kyurem edits. I had to tell you this, seeing that you have a wall of shame. I did give credit, but it is a stolen skin technically, and im telling you now seeing that this is the "right thing to do"
