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.

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.
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.
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.
