It has come to my attention that a user on this site making requests for images is passing this work off as his own. Do we need to start charging for our work? Or better yet how about we stick a big ole fat Copyright on it?

Everything we offer to you is free but at the same time it really hurts the image maker or flash maker when they have to to another site and see some claiming thier work. If we made it then we made it thats it. I myself dont do too many logo requests and from what has happened I dunno if the rest really want to do anymore either. Like they say one bad apple can ruin the whole bunch.

If you dont know what im talking about then have a look at this request:

Then go where he is so proud of making his new sig and telling everyone how he made it.

I dont go for this b.s and would hope the rest of the members have the respect to not claim something they didnt make.


As for JD_Exclusive he is banned into the wastelands.

You know its really sad when it comes down to it....people claiming someone elses hard work an there art when in all actuality where is the credit for the creator? Claiming someone elses work, design or anything else for that matter is just sad and shows how lame you are, really you dont even need to be on the net! bathtub when you get quality design and support for free from a great staff like all the admins. and staff on this site the least you could do is show a little respect! I would hate to see it come down to it where you had to pay for all the great things these people do on here!!! If it does come down to it, so be it....Codezwiz will always have my support icon_wink.gif

In the end it is really sad but if we have to start putting limits on our stuff to stop people from treatung them as their own we will have no hesitation. As telli said we are giving you our services for free but in return we do expect a little respect and i thank the majority for supporting us.

we would like everyone to do their best to snub out people like this and make codezwiz a place for all to enjoy and get along, a place where our services do mean something to all involved.

That's just wrong. I would be affraid of pretending to be the author of such fine artwork as the codezwiz staff creates...I mean, someone would eventually ask you to make something for them...then what do you say? "Oh sorry I forgot how to do that uber flash effect" or " Sorry I just fell off the turnip truck and bumped my head" icon_neutral.gif A well deserved ban IMHO.

I agree with everything that has been said in all your posts. To be honest with ya, all the great image work that this staff and members produce has inspired me to keep trying to learn how to create stuff like that. Only to be able to give back to the site as another helpful member. When I requested my sig, I even asked that codezwiz.com was on it along with the league that I am a part of. I didn't know at the time if the league forum allowed flash or codezwiz would have had an instant link with every post I make. I feel that having codezwiz on my sig is a small way to say "thanks" to the site that deserves it and if I would have thought of it sooner I would have mentioned to Taut that she could have even had it say in a corner that it was "Graphics by Taut" or whatever. Either way please give credit where credit is due. I think maybe one thing is that all free graphics made for others should have some mention of who made it or codezwiz on it. If they do not like having that on there then may I suggest downloading psp and making their own. Just my opinion..........

P.S. I am proud to tell people about the great help that I recieve from CODEZWIZ.COM and that my graphics were made by TAUT....icon_biggrin.gif

I hope codewiz is not thinking of closing up shop.
