pandabean, seriiously, yoiu have to take into consideration of what your position would be if someone else had posted anything, and someone pointed it out that it was thought to possibly a rip of one of your works...
You would want it looked over, period, it's a double edges sword really, there is not anyone pointing fingers, and if there happen to come about that someone does, well then they are just an butt munch unless they can provide unequvicol proof of it being so. But the fact remains the syetm in place is there to protect you just as much as anoyone else.
It is rather reasonable at the same time that one would take a certain feeling of offense in being questioned in the first place, which goes without saying... EVERYONE knows this is a fact even if they do not aggree with it, it still is a natural part of human nature, unless one lets the initial feel slip past from the start and allows that it is a good system of protection...
That said, I think this crap needs to be done in emails to the Admins and WIzops, draging it out in a freaking public message board is going to bring about at least one CONSTANT reaction from people. Conflict... it is disruptive, it is mindless if you ask me...
The same goes with people posting about (What happened to (fill in the blank)) that is what the contact information is for, not the message board where in the end you have people drawing lines in the sand and seeing who can pee the furthest...
Being part of the process is always a good thing, when it is the process you are being a part of and not inciting others to back your position for or against the admins and wizops...
Which has many negative affects for many and all of those directly involved more times than not.
Example: the situation about this wall, being questioned about it in the comments is one thing, but bringing it to the board and people banding together to check into it, which is actually a Admin Wizop function, does in fact leave the person whos work is in question feeling as if they are on the ropes and when a person is in that position they have a number of choices to make upon what they will think, feel, say or do... Lashing back at those thought to be lashing at you is another common human trait and one that can be removed from the picture by letting those who are in control of this handle it without a cheering section OR a number of disgruntled users who wnat to throw out all kinds of crap as proof that they are oppressed, etc...
anyway...
just my dumb assed opinion, but it seems to come about at least 3 - 5 times a week on the board and is getting really ugly in my opinion....
