User blog:Binkatong/Art Theft

This is a problem I've been seeing all over the place on this wiki. People have been getting pictures of aliens that they did not create off of Deviantart, then posting them without given credit. Often times they even steal the names and powers of the aliens. This is 100% not cool. Those people worked long and hard on those pictures and alien ideas, and here you are, claiming them as your own. I feel the need to point out what's going on here, and to say that this has to stop.

Obviously, I can't go around deleting aliens that people ripped off. But what I am going to do is give credit where credit is due. I am going to find all pictures of aliens that I know the artist of and put their name in the caption. This is the most I can do at the moment. Hopefully the mods will understand how important this issue is and will let me go through with this, even help me out. But if one of the mods wants me to stop, just let me know.

I was lucky enough not to have any of my alien ideas taken before I joined this site, but some of those people who you're stealing art from are actually my good friends. So please, stop taking pictures that aren't your own. Thank you.
