Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Just a heads-up, someone on this forum has been taking the freely posted celebrity fakes on here and bringing them over to Celebritypass.com and charging money for people to view them.
I had a such problem with my posts being stolen from another celebrity fakes site (planetsuzy) that I had to stop posting there (that's why I came to this forum a few weeks ago).
I find it absolutely maddening. I am a novice but I still work hard on my images. No one is getting paid here, certainly Not me. I hate that some jerk is thieving off of my free work and trying to make money off of it. It ticks me off to no end.
I just wanted people to know this is happening and I am seriously thinking I may have to withdraw from this website because of it and I Don't want to do that.
I don't know what could be done about it. I don't have the answer. I do know that it really makes me hesitant to share my celebrity fakes and that's a shame. I work for the viewers and the enjoyment they may receive by seeing one of my celebrity fakes.
May I add "Fuck Celebritypass" as a watermark on my pictures? Is that acceptable? It's the only thing I know to do that would stop this huge problem.
Thanks for your time and attention.
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
I would have absolutely no problem with you adding that watermark! Ha ha!! Great idea! It would certainly stop them taking your pics and charging for them...
Apart from that, unless we can find out who is taking them, I don't think there is a lot we can do. Unless some of the other mods who are more up on the faking side of things have any ideas?
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Whoever is taking them doesn't have to be a member as at the moment our forum is free to view for non members.
They can also crop out or edit watermarks. Of course whatever you put on your fakes is up to you.
Most people will look around for free pictures anyway, I can't imagine many people paying someone else to view what they can get for nothing.
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Unfortunately, this type of thing has been going on for years with both free and pay sites. ](*,) In the long run there's really not a whole lot anyone can do about it. As a fakir myself, I've seen many of my fakes show up elsewhere. It's just something you have to live with as a fakir my friend. Most of the good fakirs on the net have their work ready available for free, so anyone who is willing to pony up cash for a pay site isn't too bright imho. No matter what site you post your fakes on, some will get gathered up and put on other sites. That's just the reality of the net. The sites that bother most fakirs are the ones that change the original fake by slapping their site name on the fake, cropping it, making it a different size, etc. #-o Unfortunately there's not a lot you can do about that either. Most of us fakirs realize that and just keep faking and posting our works at credible fake forums and damn the torpedo's.
Anyway, what I'd say to you is keep faking for the fun of it and try to consider it it as a compliment that someone would gather up your fakes and put them on their site. By the way, I do like your idea about putting "Fuck Celebritypass" as a watermark. :p Personally I wouldn't bother, but that's up to you. That would take away from your fake that you post on any credible site and as Turtle so astutely pointed out, watermarks can be edited out or cropped. Again, I'd just keep having fun with faking and let the assholes be assholes. :mrgreen: In a hundred years from now, none of it's probably going to matter much if at all anyhow. :partyman:
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Yeah, Gryphondo, I agree. It isn't that people share my images that's the problem, I actually appreciate the attention. It Is all about the pay site guy(s) who are poaching from this forum and a couple of others that drive me mad.
It's frustrating that he's so close. He's here, he may even read this thread but stays cowardly silent and there is little we can do about him.
I Hate having to put "Fuck Celebritypass" on my work because it can detract from the image but I do know that it Will stop him. I'll still debate what I want to do as far as that goes. I have also realized early on that if you're going to join a pay site for fake pictures, you're pretty much a moron to begin with. I'm thinking Celebritypass doesn't have many members. I'm thinking this is more a much to do about nothing, situation. I have to just forget about it.
As far as other sites cropping and resizing and things, holy smokes, ever deal with CFake?!?! They're Insane. They can't be more picky and I don't mean in quality of the fake! It's too big, it has the celebs name in a bottom column, there's that little teeny tiny edge that doesn't quite match the neck, the single hair isn't right etc. and that site posts a heck of a lot of sub-par images!!! I think the guy or guys who run that site are nutty. They're so random in what they allow or don't allow. But they have no problem putting the "As Seen On..." stamp on your pictures, of course.
I have one more question: I'm cool with the rule, no problems from me and stuff but I'd like to ask, this forum features nude women, many times in provocative/erotic poses that are fairly x-rated (as opposed to the standard Playboy style posing) yet sexual situations (with men) are not allowed. Why is that? I mean, everyone here is aware of "adult" content other places and is easily found. Why is this site not as "daring"? Trust me, I don't mind. The more regular/tame is fine with me. No problems but I always wanted to ask.
Thanks to everyone for participating on my thread. I appreciate it.
Cheers.

The no porn rule was put in place by the original founders of the site and it's never been changed.
I personally don't mind either way. Maybe sometime in the future the Admins will allow it, but until then we enforce the no dicks rule.
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Ok, that's fine. I wasn't complaining! It was more just a wonderment than anything else.
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Who would be desperate enough to pay for fakes? Some people have too much money and not enough Google skill.
And I joined this site primarily because of the 'no dicks' rule! You have to sort through so much stuff on other sites to find anything worthwhile, and the chance of watching some other dude doing what I should be is not high on my priority list... :) And just how many times can you see a chick do an anal gangbang before it gets boring? I prefer seeing them looking good without something obstructing the view, and it makes our board a bit classier, I think.
Also, in the rush to post that latest h/c scene, everyone forgets about the girls who don't go all the way, and that is where we are a bit stronger. I could point out a number of threads which contain more on this board than they do on 5 others combined!!

Hitting the effing nail on the effing head!
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Yeah, your right...I`ve seen my stuff a lot on Celebrity Pass too...I have a good suspicion of who`s doing it, but what good would it do?...They`ll get from other sites I`ve posted on. Like you said let the assholes be assholes.
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
Anyone who pays for fakes is a bit of a numpty really, aren't they? All it would take is 5 minutes on Google (other search engines are available...) for them to find plenty of fakes for free.
If it is any consolation, I can't imagine the revenue stream is much for a site selling fakes.

Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
THIS JUST IN....Celebrity Pass may have been taken down. I tried to get to the site & was blocked/diverted a search page or maybe they just blocked me?...i dunno..can somebody check it out? I have not nor am I trying to join them (why would I pay to look at my own porn?)lol...i`m just curious about whether the site still running or not
Re: Someone On This Forum Is Stealing Fake Images...
It has not been taken down angel. I'm not a member there, but it punched right up for me. :partyman:
