Hey everyone,

Just wanted to stick this somewhere so I don't have to retype it constantly.  I'm trying to come up with a coherent script to post whenever I see cases of art theft that are somewhat "innocent" - the poor new users have clearly confused DeviantArt with PhotoBucket or similar no-talent, no-problem sites.  Feel free to use this to post on someone's profile, POLITELY.  

Also, I would like comments & critiques on ways to improve this basic script, for things like:

* Blatant art theft
* Not crediting an artist on DeviantArt
* Not crediting an artist not on DeviantArt
* Anything else relevant you can think of.

Looks like you're a new member of DeviantArt!

Please read the rules, conveniently linked for you: [link]

Chief among basic etiquette rules here, is this: Don't post art that you did not draw.  It doesn't matter if you like it, admire it, etc.  If you yank something off of PhotoBucket or a similar site, then post it here without the original creator's permission, that is art theft.  Please update your Gallery with appropriate permissions, or remove any art wrongfully posted.
