Yes!!! Keep the blacklist! I've been a member of the Guild for less that 3 months, and just recently I had my first experience with 'stolen' avatars. At first I felt consuming RAGE that someone would steal my work and post it as their own. Not knowing quite how to handle this, I contacted Devalin and after a polite letter to the site owner, all was quickly resolved. (Thanks, Devalin!) But I feel the blacklist can serve a useful purpose when the site owners are not quite as understanding. If nothing else, it helps the avatar artist feel a sense of 'revenge' to see an offending site listed. (LOL!) And sometimes.....revenge is sweet!!! (methinks maybe I ramble too much.....*grin*) be_witch
: I think the Guild should approach the offender

: to steal and continue to leave the stolen avs
: in their Gallery, then by all means,,BLACK LIST
: THEM!! It's not fair to the rest of us who work
: so very hard at our craft. And I believe the
: site should be posted for all to see!
