ok so i today had people screaming at me for "COPYING THEM"
when im using mass markings its not like im pretending to be them im just putting colors and markings together which i think look cute but apparently these people are going nutts at me for it
i was ignoring them for it and they were just like DELETE THE CHAR etc
well i dont see why i should considering its using free to use markings and colors and im not doing it to pretend im them or anything if i do look similar
i have even BLOCKED THEM and one did unblock himself then quickly re block me before i could take a screenshot so i KNOW they are capable of using the unblock trick to attack me over a damn character design which i know thats against the rules
now all bc im also using these characters on my youtube they are attacking it claiming to try and close it down
and for what? just because i have characters with similar colors and the markings that look like them?
i dont see why i should be harassed and attacked for this and they are pretending i unblocked myself from there block list (when they did it to ME because im the one who blocked THEM FIRST) to try and get me banned
ALL THIS.........over a set of colors and markings which are free to use.....
is this really acceptable for them to harass me like this and try to have my accounts closed down? :L
DEAR ANY STAFF READING:
I have proof, i have some screenshots of them saying stuff to me to delete a character and screaming i copied, i have there usernames too in case its acceptable to report and you need them

If you want to get more information on this I suggest reading this:
https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=53363.0
You can't get banned or get any form of punishment from "copying/stealing" a character.
Unless it is a preset then actions will be taken.
A staff member can most likely give you more information on this subject.

Those who claim that you're copying their character, can be ignored and easily avoided - yet the ones who have chosen to harass you over it deserve to be reported. I'd PM a Staff Member (https://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&Itemid=52) about the issue.

thank you both
-
Shuesh, I'd suggest PM'ing a Staff member to deal with this problem, be sure to PM the screenshots of their username as well.
Good luck and are sorry this happened to you. Staff will deal with this and get back to you ASAP!

I just wanted to point out that currently the most accurate place to find the current members of staff is here (https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=12157.0) as Raz hasn't gotten round to modifying/updating the Staff Page yet, and Sura is unable to modify the page herself due to some sort of error that occured which needs to be fixed.

tnx bawfle :)
-
i'd suggest to just block them and ignore them. they're just being immature, don't let people like that upset you :>
edit: ah, sorry, i didn't realize you already blocked them ;;
-
i did block them but one unblocked themself (but they did block me back moments after to quick for me to catch a screenshot though)

As everyone above said, talking to the staff is the best approach but I wanted to add a little suggestion
{Please keep in mind I am only suggesting this as it has gone into your YouTube life.}
There has been a few people who cause quite a ruckus when they don't have the right to. I remember one time there was two people {who eventually admitted they copied a Youtuber} that got The Grounds in quite a war, it got to the point when people were getting very upset and a few hateful words slipped out so myself and another person stepped in and talked to each of them in whisper. We all came to an agreement that they didn't have to delete the characters as everyone was telling them but change something just slightly like the mane color.
Another time, I had spent just over 20 minutes creating a character and I adored her to bits but when I joined somebody asked me politely if I had copied someone because I looked JUST like them, I told them I didn't and simply went off and changed the markings which is a bit more drastic then what I'd actually suggest but it looked good either way. That is my suggestion, if it fits your character perhaps changing something will calm things down for you.
I hope you don't get me wrong, no one should have to change their character and I'm not forcing you to at all as it is just a suggestion but seeing as it has escalated to your personal life {being YouTube} it may make things a bit easier for you.

People will not get punished for simply having a character that looks similar to someone else
However, the unblock trick counts as harassment and is unacceptable. I know you said you didn't get a chance to get a screenshot of this, but if anyone ever does it to you again really try to get the screenshot
Feel free to pm me about this if you haven't yet contacted a staff member and include any and all screenshots you think are necessary to send in
I'm sorry you had to experience this!
