***LOCATED AT supernova.lokatt.se/***"If you find out a cheater/theif/criminal, don't be rude and nasty to that person. Try to explain to them that -INSERT CRIME- is wrong and unfair. If they listen, say that they're sorry and promise not to do it again, try to give them a second chance. Remember, the Petz Community is supposed to be a fun place and many petzowners are young (which can be a reason but not an excuse). If the -CRIMINAL- won't listen, there is little you can do but warn -OTHERS- about this person, thus keeping them from -DOING- until they change their mind. All -'s and capitals are changes made by me, but isn't this agreeable and fair? Taken from Supernova, owned by Nova.

It's called 'fairness', unlikely you've heard of it ^^; by the sound of things. And I suppose, in a way, true, but it kinda shows your childish side if you -have- to do that.

there you go, taking offence. again. and i was joking but you can't see that.
and there's no point in being 'too' nice to people like that. they try to take advantage and don't take you seriously, so you have to be firm too.
people have tried to steal my adoptions in the past and i HAVE said "please don't put my adoptions up on your site, it clearly states they are (c) Diamond'z Star Cattery?" their reply was "umg you dont have 2 b f***in rude bout it. you s***!" - that was it. LOL. some people even had the cheek to say i 'blocked' their adoptions. hmph

3 words if you look at it (4 words in truth) "I Don't Agree." I've had things stolen from me. Things that really ment something deeply to me. Did the theif care? NO!!. If we all went around being Nice to every thief that comes along our path do you know 90% of the PC would be ripping each other off blind. All in all There's my two cents Nuff said ~K. Puppeh

Well, yeah. If the stealer is ignorant, insults you, steals on purpose when knowing that the thing they are stealing is copyright.
What I mean is, its ok to do what arkie said if they are a newbie, a proper newbie who has just arived in the PC and hasn't quite got the jist of everything. A completely different topic if the stealer knows about copyright, stealing etc etc and, like cheetahs recent incident, is plain rude. So I guess I agree and dont agree with arkie XD

When I was new to the PC I stole, even if it was down to a petz pic, or a list of petz names. *shrugs* Some people who are new to the PC just dont get it.

XD In the BC awhile aback I basically got flamed because I told people that, hey look, the pictures from this here GettyImages thingy are all copyrighted. Everyone chased me out with pitchforks because I had pointed out the copyright notice at the bottom of every page... XD;;;;; Arkie, isn't this, um, the fifty billionth time we've gone over this? The original post was -locked-; in modspeak, that translates to "be quiet and settle down." Try bringing this up when the PC (...and you) have cooled off. (maybe in about 3 months... or your next school break... )

I don't think there are too many reasons to be nice to a thief. Everyone knows stealing is wrong and you shouldn't expect to get caught and have people be fair. Even if someone said how sorry they were over and over again it doesn't change the fact that they knew it was wrong but still did it. If it were someone who was young and new to the whole petz thing then I would be a little more fair and help them understand what they are doing means to people. Some new people don't understand that even though they are only pixels people put a lot of hard work into what they make. Your right the petz community should be fun and stealing isn't fun so I see no other reason to be fair to them.

Oo; Ex-cuse me. It's called 'fairness',. Fairness would be not taking in the first place. I agree that people shouldn't set out the flamethrowers at every opportunity, but when people know exactly what they are doing, doing it for the sole reason to hurt the other person (like this sophie person) then I think exploding would be justifiable. I want this to be locked. If any other mod agrees, please do so. THIS CONVERSATION HAS BEEN FOUGHT OVER 9 PAGES ALREADY

Yes very true Liz.. 9 Pages is enough and I for one am tired of listening to the sound of 'hee haw' o__o; Thus by a mandatory request made by my upper mod and fellow friend.. This post is condemed and should be burned accordingly with the rest of the junk.
